Hotel Planamar ★★★★

Nestled away from the lively rhythms of bustling Barcelona lies a true gem awaiting your discovery – the Costa Brava, an enchanting stretch known as the 'wild coast' of Spain. Beyond the sun-kissed beaches and inviting seafront establishments, a tapestry of Catalan beauty unfolds, revealing untamed landscapes along the rugged coastline, meandering trails through nature's embrace, secret coves veiled by the azure waves, vineyards that whisper stories of time, and seaside villages brimming with charm.

Amidst the heart of this exquisite Costa Brava, neighbouring the graceful town of S'Agaró, lies the cosmopolitan haven of Platja d’Aro. Here, just a mere stroll from the town's vibrant centre, rests the four-star haven known as Hotel Planamar – a beachfront treasure that beckons you to partake in all its wonders. From the very first step, a genuine and warm welcome awaits, emanating from the dedicated team of hosts. As you step into the hotel's embrace, a sense of serenity envelops you, blending seamlessly with the contemporary elegance that adorns its every corner.

After savouring the delectable offerings of a breakfast buffet fit for royalty, the sun-soaked sands entice you to bask in their warmth. The pages of a captivating book await your perusal, offering an escape into literary realms. And when the sun's embrace becomes too fervent, the cerulean Mediterranean waters stand ready to embrace you, offering a cooling sanctuary. Should your whims lean towards refreshments and delights, the hotel terrace becomes your refuge, where Balinese beds beckon you to recline by the pool's edge, a tranquil oasis from which the world fades away. Here, indulgence takes on new meaning – a massage to soothe your senses or perhaps a session in the well-appointed gym awaits your choosing.

Indulgence takes a culinary form as well, with two delectable dining options adorning the premises. At l’Aiguamarina, Catalonian inspiration dances upon your palate, with a menu that mirrors the ever-changing seasons and the bounty of local fields. Alternatively, Bar-Terrace Magenta invites you to explore the Mediterranean's culinary tapestry, serving tantalizing salads, mouthwatering tapas, and the iconic paella that transports you to distant shores. Beyond the hotel's embrace, a world of culinary delights unfolds, should your wanderlust lead you further afield.

For those with an adventurous spirit that craves more than the tranquil lull of the waves and the symphony of flavours, a plethora of activities awaits. Engage in exhilarating water sports, pedal through scenic landscapes on cycling escapades, or traverse the captivating trails that reveal nature's secrets. Indeed, in this haven of tranquillity, every soul finds their true calling, every heart's desire fulfilled. From the allure of the sea to the whispers of the land, Costa Brava beckons, and Hotel Planamar awaits, ready to infuse your journey with moments of pure enchantment.
