Hostal de la Gavina, hotel in S’Agaro, Spain
The Hostal de la Gavina is a hotel built in the Noucentisme architectural style located in S'Agaró on the Costa Brava. The building features white walls, stone bases, small towers, geometric shapes, terraces, and low-pitched roofs that blend into the surrounding landscape.
The hotel was founded in the 1920s and received its name in the early 1930s. It became the first hotel in Spain to join the Leading Hotels of the World group and quickly established itself as a prestigious destination for high-profile guests.
The Hostal de la Gavina takes its name from 'Gavina,' meaning seagull, reflecting the local birds and symbolizing freedom and hope. This name choice connects the hotel to its coastal identity and the character of the area.
The hotel sits near the coastal path Camí de Ronda with old tamarisk and pine trees offering scenic walks. The area is walkable, and proximity to Sant Pol beach makes it easy to explore the coast.
A small beach called Sant Pol was once where early visitors learned to swim and bathe when S'Agaró was still a quiet fishing village. Today a restaurant there serves fresh seafood from local fisheries, preserving the original connection to the sea.
