In the bay of Sant Pol, on one of the most recognisable stretches of the Costa Brava, Alàbriga Hotel & Home Suites is a five-star Grand Luxury property specialised in suite stays, with a residential spirit and resort-style services. Since its opening, Alàbriga has developed a hospitality model focused on privacy, high-level gastronomy, wellness and tailor-made stays, aimed at travellers seeking discretion, comfort and personalised attention on the Catalan coast.
Situated directly by the sea, the hotel occupies a commanding position over the bay, in the heart of the Costa Brava and just a short drive from towns such as Sant Feliu de Guíxols and S’Agaró. Its curved lines and stepped volumes adapt to the contours of the coastline and open the views towards the Mediterranean horizon, integrating generous terraces and outdoor areas. The location, within the municipality of Sant Feliu, allows guests to combine the tranquillity of Sant Pol beach with the cultural, sporting and gastronomic offering of the surrounding area, placing the property firmly on the map of high-end seaside destinations in north-eastern Spain.
The hotel’s official positioning as a five-star Grand Luxury establishment translates into a clearly residential approach, with an accommodation concept based entirely on suites. There are no standard rooms, but units conceived as high-end apartments with one, two or three bedrooms, a separate living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The interiors use noble materials, carefully selected designer furniture and a neutral colour palette that enhances the sense of space. Large picture windows and private terraces strengthen the visual connection with the sea and with the pine landscape that surrounds the building.
Day-to-day service relies on a combination of technology and human attention designed to adapt to each guest’s rhythm. Among the tailor-made services, butler service on request stands out, focused on organising the day both inside and outside the hotel, together with a permanent concierge team that manages reservations, transfers and suggested activities in the area. This approach allows the property to respond both to short stays and to long-term residencies, a segment for which the hotel has developed specific programmes with adapted conditions and additional services.
The accommodation offering is structured around several suite typologies, from units designed for couples to family formats or options for small groups. At the top of the range is the Penthouse Presidential Suite, with a surface area close to 700 m² and a large sea-oriented terrace with jacuzzi and outdoor lounge areas. These larger spaces are used both for private stays and for discreet events, executive corporate travel or celebrations requiring very tight control over privacy.
In the gastronomic area, Terra restaurant is one of the hotel’s nerve centres, with a culinary proposal that reinterprets the traditional recipes of the Costa Brava using local produce and contemporary techniques. The open kitchen and the carefully staged dining room highlight the gastronomic ambition of the project. Outside, SEA Club operates as a poolside club, with a more informal menu, cocktails and a clearly daytime use, designed for both guests and local clientele. The combination of a signature restaurant and a relaxed seafront venue makes it possible to cover different moments of the day and a wide range of guest profiles.
The wellness axis is built around a comprehensive wellbeing approach, with a spa offering a water area, treatment cabins and programmes focused on relaxation and personal care. This is complemented by an outdoor swimming pool with views over the bay, as well as physical activities that include kayak routes along nearby coves, cycling outings, yoga and other guided practices organised on request. The aim is to integrate the natural environment into the guest experience, fostering a direct connection with the landscape without renouncing the comfort expected from a five-star Grand Luxury hotel.
In terms of events, the hotel offers various indoor and outdoor spaces that can be adapted to small corporate meetings, product launches, weddings and family celebrations. The possibility of privatizing specific areas of SEA Club, selected terraces or even part of the Penthouse makes it easier to design tailor,made projects for brands and private clients. In this context, experiences linked to the surrounding territory, such as boat trips, visits to Empordà wineries or cultural tours, are often incorporated into the programmes, reinforcing the link between the property and the identity of the Costa Brava.
Alàbriga Hotel & Home Suites exemplifies the trend towards hybrid models, halfway between a vacation resort and a high-end residence. The combination of spacious suites, personalised services, carefully curated gastronomy, a strong focus on wellness and a frontline seafront location places the hotel in a distinctive segment within the Costa Brava’s luxury offering, where discretion, flexibility and attention to detail are key differentiating factors.
