Luxury Cap sa Sal Penthouse – Experience a Hollywood-Style Getaway

It was a last minute change in our schedule. We were already staying in a luxury Spanish Villa near the town of Pallafrugel, Costa Brava when owner Richard asked us if we wanted to check out a new property he had just acquired in the coastal village of Cap Sa Sal. Richard owns and operates one of the most popular vacation apartment rental companies in Costa Brava, and his properties are to die for.

The Penthouse of Cap Sa Sal

Never ones to turn down an opportunity to stay somewhere new, we packed our bags and drove up the coast to a seaside location just outside the town of Begur.

Cap Sa Sal is an old high rollers hotel that has now been converted to apartments and vacation rental properties. The suite we were staying in was the cream of the crop.

This destination is not just a tourist hotspot; it offers beautiful beaches, historic forts, and an excellent coastal walkway to the neighboring town of Sa Tuna.

Movie Stars and Royalty at Cap Sa Sal

During the 50s and 60s, Cap Sa Sal was a hot spot for high rollers to relax and enjoy the glamorous life of the Mediterranean Sea.

Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Princess Grace all frequented this old hotel, which was as luxurious as it got during its heyday. Moreover, the spy flick Some Girls Do was filmed here in 1968.

Fortunately, the owners decided to reignite its Hollywood past and have started renovating the property to rent out high-end vacation rentals for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Penthouse of Cap Sa Sal. The rooms were decorated to perfection with a lovely blend of old Catalan charm and chic decor with a retro twist.

Our three-bedroom, three-bath penthouse overlooked the dramatic sea cliffs of Costa Brava. With a location directly on the coastal path, we enjoyed our mornings hiking to the neighboring village for rich espresso and fresh baguettes.

It is rare for us to visit a place and feel no desire to explore the area; however, this penthouse was so comfortable and beautiful, we never wanted to leave. We cooked dinners in the spacious modern kitchen and sipped wine as we watched cruise ships pass by at sunset.

The atmosphere was heavenly. The apartment featured a Sonos Sound System, allowing us to play our favorite Spotify playlists while enjoying the extraordinary views. We could have spent the entire summer at Cap Sa Sal, and if funds were unlimited, we certainly would! Unfortunately, our time came to an end, leaving us with only photographs and memories of our experience like Hollywood royalty.
