Cadaques Spain Travel Guide
Family-run, budget-friendly choices. Simple rooms, numerous ones with private facilities. A more intimate and local stay. Consider Hostal L'Estable and Hostal La Llar de Cadaqués.
Cadaqués features comfortable 2-star to upscale 4-star hotels. Many display sea views, especially waterfront or hillside properties. Examples: Hotel Llane Petit, Hotel S'Agaró, Hotel Celimar.
Often in renovated traditional Cadaqués houses. Distinct design, personalized service, higher-end amenities. Hotel Calma Blanca and Hotel Sol Ixent are examples, some for adults-only.
For luxury and ample space, larger villas are available, sometimes with private pools, gardens, and sweeping views. These properties often stand outside the immediate town center.
Many Cadaqués properties dwell in beautifully converted traditional fishermen's houses. These feature characteristic white-washed walls, terracotta roof tiles, and local decor. Each stay is unique.
No official campsites exist within Cadaqués or Cap de Creus Natural Park. Wild camping is illegal. Nearest campsites are in towns close by like Roses, necessitating a commute.
For one-of-a-kind activities, explore platforms like Hostelworld for budget options or TrustedHousesitters for house/pet sitting exchanges.
Cadaqués, while compact, features different zones, each with its own character and visitor advantages.
