What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Behind these honey-colored stone walls is a stunningly smart luxury hotel to rival any in Spain.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The estate is set in Baix Emporda countryside, a short bike ride from medieval Pals and minutes from rocky Mediterranean coves.
The rooms
Farmhouse suites feature vaulted ceilings and terracotta floors, while garden bungalows open to private terraces and select plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor swimming pool sits among cypress trees, joined by an indoor heated lap pool under exposed rafters.
The spa
The 600-square-metre MasSpa has a eucalyptus steam room, a Finnish sauna, and hot and cold hydrotherapy plunge pools.
The studio
A dedicated movement space hosts yoga and Pilates sessions on smooth floors beneath painted timber ceiling beams.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
El Mas serves Emporda dishes across candlelit garden terraces, and Bar Glicinias mixes cocktails beneath vaulted ceilings.
With 39 rooms spread across an 18th-century masia and a cluster of contemporary bungalows (many with private plunge pools), the hotel is designed to feel like a soulful home-away-from-home.
How it began
Once an eighteenth-century agricultural masia, this stone estate opened as a hotel in 1988 before an extensive 2020 restoration.
