Mas Salagros EcoResort & Spa ★★★★★

Vallromanes is a charming village some forty minutes outside Barcelona. It is a gloriously green area, covered in unspoilt oak and pine forests. Here, you’ll find the beautiful Parc de la Serralada Litoral, where the Mas Salagros Eco Resort & Spa***** is located. This charming resort was once a farmhouse known as Can Sala Gros, operating from the late 1490s. It maintains much of the stunning architecture, opting to build its newer structures in a Mediterranean style that compliments the farmhouses warm tones and flat roof. When you arrive, you’ll and immediately start to slow down, as the team greet you with an organic welcome drink.

You can enjoy a stay in the Superior Room, a wonderfully tranquil space that evokes a sense of warmth and security. It makes use of entirely eco-friendly furnishings, including the linens of the plush bed and the untreated, recycled woods that accent the room. A spacious private terrace boasts great views of the surrounding park and its rolling hills - fully furnished, so that you can make the most of the space. Rooms come equipped with 100% eco-friendly amenities and a well-stocked minibar.

The resort is fantastically secluded, but you don’t have to travel far for food. Dine at the excellent Restaurant 1497, where you can gorge on gourmet Mediterranean cuisine made with completely organic local produce, much of which is grown onsite. At Cibus, enjoy more casual dining based around tapas, perfect for families with small children. Likewise, the Gastro Wine Bar also serves tasty tapas for you to pair with the best regional and international wines - or beer, if that’s what floats your boat. Rest assured, all options are completely organic.

The star of the resort is its superb wellness services. Mas Salagros takes something notoriously bad for the environment and transforms it. Created in collaboration with AIRE Ancient Baths, you can take a dip in the numerous thermal baths housed in the old farmhouse, atmospherically lit by candlelight, before receiving a masterful massage. At the Mas Salagros Eco Resort & Spa *****, you can unwind completely, surrounded by nature and assured by the knowledge that the resort is minimising harm done to the environment.
