Forty minutes south of Barcelona along the Costa Daurada, this seaside resort trades the city's noise for 143 minimalist rooms with seaside-colored accents and, in the better ones, private terraces overlooking the water. The Ra Wellness Thalasso Spa anchors the place, built around purified high-iodine Mediterranean seawater and La Prairie treatments across a sprawling footprint. Dining spreads across a poolside grill, a terrace bar, and a beachside restaurant with the sea doing all the decorating.

Half an hour down the coast from Barcelona, in the fishing village of Garraf, this 17-room Soho House property sits close enough to the water that the name almost earns itself. It holds a Michelin Key. The bones are a restored mid-century hotel, kept just retro enough to feel intentional, with the rest done in that familiar Soho House register: slouchy, stylish, and quietly members-only, though hotel guests get the run of it too.
