The Resort
Nestled on a windswept cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, Cap Sa Sal on Spain’s Costa Brava is a serene haven of eco-luxury and timeless charm. Once a glamorous retreat for artists and Hollywood elite, today it blends vintage elegance with modern comfort to create an intimate and restorative escape.
Perched on a rugged headland, Cap Sa Sal offers breathtaking sea views and direct water access—whether via a cliffside lift or a private path down to the rocky shoreline capsasal.info.
Just a 3 km walk from Sa Riera beach and close to the famed Camino de Ronda, it offers easy access to coastal hikes, local beaches, and charming seaside towns Reddit+4WeTravel+4WeTravel+4.
The pine-draped landscape and warm Mediterranean light make it a naturally tranquil retreat.
