Boutique Hotel Villa Gala, Cadaqués
Bright, airy, and elegant boutique hotel with Mediterranean vibes, an outdoor pool, and alfresco dining
Overview
Kimkim's Take
- The hotel's location is perfect, as you'll enjoy incredible views of Cadaqués and the Mediterranean Sea.
- Though the hotel maintains its slightly rustic island charm, the rooms feel luxurious and well-appointed, some with private terraces and Jacuzzis.
- The outdoor pool and terrace are the perfect places to relax and enjoy the hillside hotel's views.
- For meals, the restaurant serves mostly Catalan and Mediterranean cuisine and offers outdoor seating above the sundeck.
- You can relax even more at the spa, with a treatment menu, sauna, and hot tub.
- You get those fantastic views because the hotel is on a hillside, so your walk back will be uphill.
