Carrer Gaudí, 8, 08370 Calella, Barcelona, Spain

Nestled along Spain’s Costa del Maresme at the beginning of the world-famous Costa Brava, the idyllic town of Calella has plenty to please all year round. You’ll find several beaches within walking distance, from the hotel’s beach club on Garbí Beach, to the city centre’s vast Playa Grande and the secluded coves of Las Rocas Beach. And whether you’re one for chilling out under a parasol, a game of beach volleyball or splashing about in crystal-clear waters, you’re sure to find a sweet spot on this Blue Flag-awarded stretch of coastline.

Calella’s pretty city centre is well worth a stroll, boasting a wonderful seafront promenade, over 500 shops and a lively culinary and cultural scene - the city regularly hosts fairs, theatre and music festivals. But if it’s a break from urban living you’re after, the surrounding nature will welcome you with open arms; the area is part of a certified Nordic Walking route, while the nearby Montnegre National Park is perfect for scenic hikes and mountain biking trails. 
Five-star booking service? You bet.
