Hostal Spa Empúries  

Perched on the Costa Brava in L'Escala, this seaside 4-star hostal overlooks the Mediterranean from a secluded stretch of Portitxol Beach. You're minutes from the Empúries archaeological site and close to the Castle of Montgri and Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l'Emporda.

Set in a restored building, rooms blend coastal charm with modern comforts. There are 53 air-conditioned guestrooms, many with terraces and sea views, work desks, satellite TV options and private bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and shower/tub combos.

Treat yourself at the full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials (spa services available at extra cost). The wellness offering includes an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, gym and a sensation shower circuit. Rent bicycles or electric scooters from the 24-hour reception, and enjoy concierge service, babysitting (surcharge), airport shuttle and onsite parking.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout, a business center and 175 sqm (1,883 sq ft) of conference and meeting space. A 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff keep things running smoothly.

Two on-site restaurants serve a gourmet Mediterranean menu and a more informal selection, plus a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge. Expect regional flavors and fresh coastal ingredients.
