A countryside retreat blending rural heritage, terroir-driven cuisine, and wellness

Ancient stone and open nature facing the Gavarres landscape

Empordà-rooted gastronomy in a singular heritage stay

Mas Tapiolas is a four-star superior boutique hotel located in the Solius Valley, in Santa Cristina d’Aro. Occupying a 13th-century Catalan masia seamlessly integrated into the Gavarres forests, the property has been refurbished to balance its original architecture with contemporary design. The experience centers on three pillars: locally sourced gastronomy, wellness, and curated activities connected to the Empordà region.

Stone, Wood, and Silence: A Stay Built on History

06/17/26

The main building of Mas Tapiolas dates back to the 13th century, preserving original architectural features throughout its rooms.

Names like La Solana, La Font, l’Olivera, or El Graner nod to the estate’s agricultural past. A recent renovation has expanded the property with the new Suites Natura, standalone accommodations featuring private pools designed for direct contact with the surroundings. The estate offers over fifty rooms and suites, many with private terraces or gardens. The overall design prioritizes silence, natural light, and sweeping views of the Gavarres landscape.

Catalan Cuisine with Local Produce and a Contemporary Lens

Located on the ground floor of the masia, the restaurant focuses on regional cuisine driven by local, seasonal ingredients.

At the helm, chef Enric Bosch develops a menu rooted in Empordà culinary traditions, interpreted through modern techniques. The masia’s historic wine cellar has been restored for private, small-group tastings, featuring a curated selection of DO Empordà wines. This deep connection between kitchen and terroir serves as the backbone of the dining experience.

Wellness, Golf, and Experiences in the Heart of the Gavarres

The hotel features a 400-square-meter Spa & Wellness center divided into indoor and outdoor areas.

The indoor facility includes a heated pool with jets and waterfalls, a sauna, a steam room, a salt cabin, an ice cave, and three treatment rooms. Outdoors, the space opens to the landscape with a solarium for open-air relaxation. The leisure offering is completed by an 18-hole Par 3 golf course integrated into the terrain, padel courts, and a fully equipped gym.
