Hotel La Malcontenta  

Perched in the Castell‑Cap Roig area of the Costa Brava in Palamós, this small boutique hotel sits in Paraje de Torre Mirona. It’s a short cycle or about a 15‑minute walk to El Castell (the last virgin beach), and close to Cala S'Alguer, La Fosca and Cap Roig Botanical Garden.

Housed in a 19th‑century fortified country house, La Malcontenta has just 14 carefully designed rooms with minibars, LCD TVs and DVD players — some services include in‑room massages. Decor leans elegant and classic; the property even has a heliport. Pets are welcome and family‑friendly services (babysitting available) make it easy for groups. Note: the hotel closes seasonally from October 20 to March 13.

Soak in a seasonal outdoor pool, unwind in the wellness area with massage and solarium, rent bicycles to explore the coast or join local diving excursions. There’s a library, picnic area and poolside bar — perfect for waking up to sea‑breeze mornings and winding down with a sundowner. Free self‑parking is available and a shuttle to the airport runs for a surcharge.

A business center and meeting‑ready spaces are on site, with complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property and newspapers in the lobby.

An on‑site restaurant serves guests daily, supported by a bar/lounge and poolside bar. 24‑hour room service is available and a complimentary hot/cold buffet breakfast is included.
