‘Beautiful view’ is the translation of Vistabella – hard to disagree when this hotel is perched on a rocky headland overlooking a gorgeous bay along the Costa Brava coastline – yes, the setting is very photogenic. Enjoy the view from your modern guestroom’s furnished terrace – or from Els Brancs Restaurant, where the bounty of the sea is harnessed to create beautiful dishes like the signature ceviche.

Mini golf, table tennis, giant chess and petanque are among the activities on offer in the garden – while there are no fewer than three swimming pools to choose from, that, of course, is on top of the beach – along with the gorgeous Platja del Rastell just a five minutes’ walk away.

Palau Macelli, for Periodic Luxe

Hotel

‘Paradise on Earth’ reads Palau Macelli’s strapline and you’d be hard-pressed to disagree once you stroll into the grounds of this 17th-century palace. Rooms retain some period features, like polished stone walls and ceiling beams, but update them in beautifully modern, minimalist style – with bare-bones metal four-poster beds and jacuzzi bathtubs. In the old stables is the spa, where a wide massage menu awaits.

The whitewashed walls and red roof tiles of this villa are classically Mediterranean, as is the location in the impossibly picturesque Port Doguer in Cadaqués. The beach is just a few hundred metres away – as are several superb seafood cafes – while the hotel’s own restaurant serves superb dishes including shrimp carpaccio with truffles. Rooms have a feel of laid-back luxury, with a blue and white marine colour scheme – all have balconies and some come with large terraces, too.
