Hotel Type
Design Resort
For those looking for a more bohemian, but equally luxurious, hotel refuge a trip to Can Simoneta is in order. The approach is nothing short of sublime; a field of coastal grasses with hovering Mediterranean horizon is cut in half by a long gravel driveway lined in 100-year olive trees. A rambling farmhouse of century-old stone walls is enlivened by pastel shutters and cozy pergolas that frame an architectural swimming pool surrounded in long grass and white loungers. A crowd dressed in Missoni bikinis and Hermes scarves scatters away from each other to maximize the hotel’s secluded spa atmosphere, returning together for dinner at the communal terrace restaurant or midnight dip in the clifftop Jacuzzi.
The Room
Entry-level junior suites face obstructed sea or garden views with upgraded terrace option with small table and chairs. Rooms are creamy white spaces of soothing linen curtains and Venetian-plaster ceilings with period wood detailing. Suites are tucked under the hotel’s main roofline with pitched beam ceiling and eclectic mix of modern furnishings and period Spanish antiques. Those looking for a more exclusive experience should book the Suite Neptuno located in an outlying cottage with dramatic grassy terrace with architectural swimming pool facing the sea.
