BYPILLOW Cap Sa Sal

BYPILLOW Cap Sa Sal

Centuries-old pine trees ring the terrace at BYPILLOW Cap Sa Sal, and the hotel faces the sea itself, on the stretch of Costa Brava around Begur. It keeps sixteen rooms and admits adults only. From here it's a walk, not a drive, to Platja de Sa Riera and Platja Sa Tuna, and to Ses Negres beyond them, since the hotel sits within walking distance of the town center. It has one thing many small hotels near this coast don't: a pool kept only for its own guests, not shared with beach clubs or passing day-trippers. Divers and snorkellers use the property as a base, with a diving club and a fitness room on site for the days between dives. Others take the coastal paths that start almost at the door, or spend an afternoon on the sun deck before the spa. A restaurant and breakfast cover meals, the garden and terrace give the small property room to breathe, and staff speak English, French and Spanish. It suits couples and pairs of friends who want quiet without isolation and don't mind being asked to walk into town rather than be driven. It won't suit families: pets aren't allowed here, and the adults-only rule holds regardless of ages. Budget for extras too. A 300 EUR deposit is charged per room per stay, and Spanish hotels including this one can add mandatory gala dinner fees, so it's worth asking the hotel directly before booking. What stays with you is the pool that belongs only to guests, and pine trees older than anything else on the property. Sixteen rooms above the sea in Begur, ringed by centuries-old pines, with a pool kept for guests only. Adults-only and walkable to Platja de Sa Riera and Sa Tuna, it suits couples wanting quiet over amenities, not families with pets or young children.
