Salles Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi

Set directly on the shoreline at Platja d'Aro, Sallès Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi faces the Mediterranean along the Costa Brava, with Cap de Creus and the Medes Islands within reach for day trips. The hotel takes adults only. Rooms come fitted with minibars, safes and coffee machines, and many look straight out to the water. At the centre of the stay is Lacalm Spa, a 600 m² circuit with a heated pool, water beds, a hot tub, an ice fountain, sensory showers, a Finnish sauna and a hammam, plus a room of heated hammocks with infrared rays. Access to the circuit is included for guests, though treatments need booking ahead. The Almarí restaurant sits in two connected spaces, an indoor room and a sea-facing terrace, serving Mediterranean cuisine built on Empordà produce, orchards and vineyards under chefs Josep Ayats and José Sánchez. It is a quiet, adult-focused base. Beyond the spa and restaurant, the hotel keeps things simple: an outdoor pool, a sun deck, a bar, a fitness room and a reading room round out the amenities. Guests can walk the coastal footpath from the hotel or take a boat out into open water, tracing the same stretch of Mediterranean the restaurant terrace overlooks. Check-in details and treatment bookings run through the hotel directly, and dress in the restaurant is smart but unfussy.
