Villa Magalean Hotel & Spa

Eight rooms by the marina where the fishing boats actually moor, in a Basque port town tucked between San Sebastián and Biarritz. Villa Magalean is a boutique hotel that reads more like a very well-curated friend's house: historical bones, contemporary color palette, walk-in showers, Marshall speakers on the nightstand. A small spa and an all-day wine bar called Mahasti round things out without making the place feel like it's trying too hard.
