Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi—Adults Only, Costa Brava

Pros

• The property and its natural surroundings offer an ideal spot to truly relax, as most rooms feature terraces, sea views, and amenities like bathrobes and slippers.
• Spend the day relaxing in the expansive spa, with perks like waterbeds, soaking tubs, a Finnish sauna, a hammam, a foot bath, a steam room, a salt cave, an ice cave, and more.
• The outdoor pool and sundeck overlook the sea and provide unique seating, like covered sunbeds and wicker chairs.
• The on-site restaurant serves local and regional cuisine and offers al fresco dining in the warmer months. 
• Enjoy the historical elements of an old summer mansion, such as original beamed ceilings, wooden and tile flooring, wood doors, and vintage furnishings.
• The lodging is quite peaceful as an adults-only property, and you'll find perks specific to adults, like a cocktail bar, lounge, and wine cellar.

Cons

• You'll be on the main street slightly out of town, so plan to walk at least 10-15 minutes, drive, or hire a transfer if you'd like to eat off-site or explore the area. 
• The hotel is very comfortable, but the rooms and some common areas feel like they don't quite fit a 5-star property. 

Authenticity

Enjoy staying in a historic summer mansion on the Costa Brava, a beautiful building that maintains some of its original elements. The house's fireplace and door to the wine cellar are authentic, and you'll find several other historical aspects, like wood-beamed ceilings and pieces of antique furniture. The property makes the most out of its location, with 100-year-old pine trees and a setting overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. 

Location

Sallès Hotel & Spa sits above and offers direct access to Cala del Pi, a hidden cove and swimming spot just north of Platja d'Aro's city center. Though the hotel is right off the main coastal road, you'll face the sea, so it feels private and tranquil. The center of Platja d'Aro and its city beach is a 20-minute walk. However, you'll find several other beaches and eateries closer to the hotel, including Cala Rovira and Platja de Belladona.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms are colorful and cozy, all with terraces, and most feature sea views. Enjoy quaint details that pay homage to the building's history, like tile floors, beamed ceilings, and antique furnishings. All units offer amenities like Whirlpool bathtubs, bath robes and slippers, separate beach towels, and hydromassage showers. To make the most of your experience, book a room with a terrace facing the sea, where you can relax on sunloungers while listening to the waves. 

Other Highlights

The hotel's main eatery, Restaurante Aurum, features cuisine unique to the Empordà region and serves it in an elegant dining room or outdoor terrace. You'll also find a cocktail bar and wine cellar on the property. All guests have free access to the spa's circuit, which includes hot and cool soaking tubs, an ice cave, a sauna, a steam room, and more. You can also book spa treatments, swim in the outdoor pool, relax on the sundeck, exercise in the gym, and stay cozy in the reading room.
