Hotel Mas de Torrent.
Occupying a meticulously restored 18th-century Catalan farmhouse, Mas de Torrent is a masterclass in Empordà elegance. Located in the tranquil countryside near the medieval village of Pals, the estate balances its historical stone architecture with 39 modern suites, some featuring private pools and walled gardens. The atmosphere is one of discreet, unhurried luxury. Gastronomy is a central pillar here, with chef Ramón Freixa overseeing a menu that elevates local Costa Brava ingredients through both traditional and avant-garde techniques. Beyond the plate, the 600-square-meter MasSpa offers a comprehensive wellness circuit, including a hammam and a sun-drenched indoor pool. Whether you are here for a yoga retreat or to cycle through the surrounding sunflower fields, the hotel serves as a sophisticated, quiet sanctuary away from the coastal crowds.
