What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside things look just as good, rooms are modern and stylish in natural shades of white and sand and each comes accessorized with modern art and ceramics in a nod to the hotel’s namesake, Salvador Dalí.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Platja d'en Pere Fet and Platja de Ros lie just beyond the garden, along the quiet edge of Cadaqués.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature sunlit palettes of white and sand, Caroline Fau Deffis interiors, and bespoke ceramic bedside lighting.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Tiered slate walls and pine trees shelter the mosaic-tiled saltwater pool, set with green-and-white striped loungers.
The spa
Therapists perform facials and massages in a treatment room decorated with terracotta niches and ceramic urns.
Restaurant Salvador
Terracotta pendant lamps hang below vaulted ceilings, and glass doors open to the garden terrace for Mediterranean dining.
