This luxury hotel on the Costa Brava presents a thrilling blend of historical glamour and everyday lifestyle on a wonderful garden plot. But the most beautiful thing about it is its indescribable location on a small, rocky spit of land. Almost entirely surrounded by the sea, the hotel’s picturesque buildings house 74 guest rooms, a gourmet Spanish restaurant, an elegant spa, a magnificent swimming pool and two tennis courts. In short: for a few days of pure relaxation with sunshine and the sounds of the ocean, La Gavina is perfection itself. Not least because the friendly service from the reception desk down to the sommelier and massage team ensures an unforgettable getaway.
5-star hotel: Classical elegance and enthusiastic service
For anyone who loves classic luxury in old-world style, the Hostal de la Gavina is literally a place to strike gold. The interior spaces of the whole hotel are presented in an elegant, magnificent style with a Mediterranean touch. The ambience ranges from nostalgic to antique and features modern influences at the right spots. On top of that, service is thoroughly professional, provided by staff in charming uniforms. The waiter in livery, the page with a cap and the maid service in fitting outfits. This is the icing on the cake for its refined atmosphere. But it is not only exterior qualities which shine: service is committed and extremely friendly and helpful throughout.
Historical hotel: 80 years of first-class hotel service
The main building of the Hostal de la Gavina was built in the year 1922. A few years later, the other buildings followed. The whole ensemble, as it stands today, is more than 80 years old. The only exception is the stunning panorama pool, which was only put in later. At least as old as the hotel is the beautiful park facilities with their wooded areas, featuring some significantly older trees. Fitting with its history, the hotels is outfitted with hand-picked furniture ranging across the last eight decades. Overall, everything joins together to create a harmonious whole which does not feel over-styled in its details, but rather very natural. Patterned silk wallpaper, gold-layered bed frames, furniture in baroque, art deco and fifties styles harmonize surprisingly well with the modern flatscreen on the wall!
Food & Drink: Gourmet cuisine by candlelight
Each day begins with a lavishly laid out breakfast buffet with something every taste. When the weather is nice, guests can sit outside on the terrace in the morning sunlight. For lunch, snacks and light dishes are served directly by the pool. For dinner, two restaurants are available to choose from: the restaurant Garbí, a gourmet restaurant focusing on fine Spanish cuisine, and the restaurant Candlelight, which serves classic Mediterranean gourmet cuisine in the romantic setting of a courtyard garden around a fountain.
Athletics & Leisure: Panorama pool, spa & tennis

There are also two tennis courts, equipment rental for cyclists and a golf desk for all questions relating to golf sports in the area.
Location: Ocean view between two beaches
Its fantastic location is one of the factors which has made the Hostal de la Gavina a hotspot on the Costa Brava for more than 80 years. The hotel is situated on a small spit of land with a rocky promontory and a sandy beach on either side.
