Luxury & wellness in Costa Brava: adults-only spa retreat near Lloret de Mar

On the Costa Brava, there’s also another way to experience Lloret: Mediterranean forests, trails winding through pine trees, and a dining experience where Catalan cuisine takes center stage. Far from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk, the Hotel Sant Pere del Bosc Hotel & Spa—Adults Recommended 5* in Lloret de Mar —brings these three elements together in an ancient estate with over a thousand years of history.

This 5-star hotel is in a league of its own compared to the more well-known side of Lloret. It’s housed in a former Benedictine monastery, later transformed by the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and is surrounded by nature. It’s an “adults recommended” accommodation designed especially for couples and holidays where the plan is to slow down.

Hotel Sant Pere del Bosc in Lloret de Mar: Deliberately Secluded

• In the middle of the forest: it’s located in the Paratge de Sant Pere del Bosc, about 5 km from the center of Lloret. Here, the distance from the tourist hub isn’t just a detail—it’s part of the accommodation’s character.

• The Costa Brava is within easy reach: to combine relaxation with the sea, you can head to the Lloret coast and explore its beaches, coves, and coastal trails.

• Getting there requires some planning: the Girona-Costa Brava Airport is about 20 km away, and Barcelona-El Prat Airport is about 75 km away. The hotel itself notes that the final few kilometres are traveled from Lloret to the accommodation.

• An important note: several guests point out that part of the access road is unpaved. If you’re not travelling with your own vehicle, we recommend arranging a transfer before you arrive.

Inside: Modernism, tranquility, and plenty of greenery

• A building with real history: this isn’t just decor inspired by a bygone era. The complex dates back to the 10th century and is now part of Catalonia’s Architectural Heritage.

• The outdoor pool: surrounded by the estate’s natural setting, it reinforces the sense of seclusion that defines this accommodation. Guests particularly highlight the tranquility of the pool area.

• Wellness: The accommodation features a spa with a water area, a Turkish bath, massages, and treatments (subject to additional charges and prior booking; check what’s included in your package).

• What previous guests say: the peaceful surroundings, the staff’s hospitality, and the cuisine are repeatedly cited among the most highly rated aspects. The seclusion also has its downside: access may be less convenient than expected.

Dining: Here, sitting down to a meal is part of the experience

• Restaurant Sant Pere: offers Catalan and Mediterranean cuisine featuring local and seasonal ingredients, combining traditional recipes with modern techniques.

• Gourmet menus and à la carte: The restaurant offers various options and a selection of wines. Your experience will depend on the meal plan or services included in your package.

• Winery and wine tourism: the estate operates a winery and offers tours and tastings (subject to an additional fee and booking; check if they’re included in your package).

Practical Information: Good to know before packing

• Car Park: The official directory indicates free car park in front of the hotel or in designated areas.

• Wi-Fi: The hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout the accommodation.

• Hours: Check-in begins at 3:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00h PM. Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability and incur an additional charge.

• Accommodation profile: Its “adults recommended” focus and secluded location are particularly well-suited for a couples’ holiday where peace and quiet matter more than having bars and shops right outside the door.

Our team recommends:

• Make room for Catalan cuisine: take advantage of a holiday to Lloret to try a delicious rice dish or fresh seafood from the coast. Here, eating well shouldn’t just be a quick stop between beach outings.

• Set aside some time for Santa Clotilde: its gardens stretch along a cliff between Fenals and Cala Boadella, with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. It’s an especially beautiful experience as the light begins to fade.

• Put on your sneakers: the Camino de Ronda lets you discover the other side of Lloret amid pine forests, coves, and stretches along the sea. The route to Blanes is about 10 km, so you can tailor the walk to how far you feel like going that day.
