El Far de San Sebastian

This splendid hotel is grandly perched 175 metres above the Romaboira cliffs and the vistas it provides of the Mediterranean are accordingly stunning, reason enough to stay here. But the main building with its adjacent hermitage (17th century) and Medieval watchtower (15th century) has been restored under the auspices of the Figueras family (who run another of the region’s great hotels, Mas de Torrent) with extreme care and sophistication. Any stay here therefore becomes that more appealing. The nine bedrooms all come with their own terrace or balcony, which make the most of the views, and are magnificently and luxuriously decorated.
El Far is also famous for its fine cuisine based on the regional gastronomy of Empordá. The marina and fine sandy beaches are nearby for seaside fans whilst archaeological buffs will delight in the pre-roman ruins found surrounding pinewoods, including the singular iberian settlement just next to the parking. Other activities nearby include horse riding, the Josep Pla route and the Dalí Museums.
