Hostal de la Gavina, S'Agaró, Costa Brava, Spain
Another favourite with aristocracy and A-listers who were undoubtedly drawn here by the spectacular rocky coastline and unspoiled beaches, this is top-notch, old-school Spanish opulence at its best.
Chill at the Valmont Spa or unique seawater pool; take long, lazy lunches and delectable dinners at the rolodex of restaurants and bars; sleep late, wake refreshed and stroll along the Camino de Ronda coastal path to San Pol beach; or enjoy a game of tennis while your brood runs riot at the kids' club.
