DWO Sirius Hotel

This adults-only (16+) hotel is just five minutes from the beach, located in the quiet seaside town of Santa Susanna, northeastern Spain. With plenty of beaches on the sparkling Costa Brava to choose from, there are lots of scenic walks and water-based activities to try in the area. If you’re looking to go further afield, take a train along the coastline to Barcelona in just one hour and 20 minutes, or go the other way, which will take you inland to Girona, in just 50 minutes. 

Back at this four-star base by the beach, rooms are cool and spacious, with plush bedding and modern amenities. Upgrade to a Club Select, Comfort Room, or the Junior Suite for more space and trendy Scandi interiors. Feeling peckish? Start your day with brunch by the pool, or slide over to the buffet restaurant and pile your plates high. 

To relax, head to the swimming pool on the second floor, which features a tranquil terrace area with hammocks, so you can rock yourself to sleep in the Catalan sunshine. If you make the five-minute walk to the seafront, you’ll find the hotel’s Illusions Beach Club, an exclusive space where you can enjoy bites from the Mediterranean-style menu and try your hand at paddle boarding.
