H10 Imperial Tarraco ★★★★

The Costa Daurada, a ‘golden coast’ as the Catalan moniker goes. And truly the expansive coastline does have its own 24k gleam that you won’t find in many other places. The waves that wash over the beach gently brush a shade of vivid blue onto the yellow sand. Not only does the port city of Tarragona benefit from these vivacious hues, but it also boasts a rich historical draw too. As you explore, you’ll see monuments of Roman beauty who’ve stood the test of time hidden among the streets harking back to Gothic Spain. Tarragona is simply a kaleidoscope of different artistic and historical shades, each contributing to a colourful holiday.

You need a palace to allow you to really make the most of this idyl, you need regal luxuries befitting such a location. Enter the H10 Imperial Tarraco. Tucked away in the city’s greener area, surrounded by rich verdant parks, your palace awaits. Fresh from a recent refurbishment, ultra-modern relaxation awaits you in the city’s historic centre.

Wherever you walk, you’ll be blessed with a stunning view of the vast Balearic Sea, be that from your own private balcony, while working out at the gym or when relaxing poolside. Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh lunch listening to the waves dancing along the shores? The Alta Mare Restaurant serves a buffet based off products from the hotel garden, while the Caelum Rooftop Bar offers drinks with an unbeatable setting. Dining here goes above and beyond to provide an experience. As you saunter away contented with a day’s luxury, why not sneak off to the Despacio Beauty Centre for one last pamper before bed?

Slinking back to your room in a state of sheer serenity, you can lay back and just take in your surroundings, the walls of the room telling their own Mediterranean stories and the window looking out serving as a reminder of what colourful adventures are in the store when the sun returns.
