Hotel Calma Blanca , 7 rooms
From: To: Availability
Situated in Cadaqués, just 2 minutes’ walk from Salvador Dali’s House, Hotel Calma Blanca features a heated outdoor pool and spa. It offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and sea.
Built from local white stone, the hotel is beautifully integrated into its natural environment, and offers an elegant design with stylishly decorated rooms.
Offering free Wi-Fi, the air-conditioned rooms include a private balcony with sun loungers, and each one has a minibar and a private seating area with flat-screen TV and iPad.
In addition to the swimming pool, guests can relax on the sun terrace and enjoy the ocean views.
The charming fishing village of Cadaques offers visitors many beautiful sights including churches, museums and the Catalan modernist-style Casa Blava (Blue House). Cap de Creus Nature Reserve is 5 minutes’ drive away, and Girona Airport is 83 km away.
Hotel Calma Blanca is in Cadaqués
Cadaqués is the focal point of the Cap de Creus peninsula, which is an outstanding maritime and terrestrial natural park on account of the diversity of the marine species found there and the shapes of its rocks sculpted by the Tramuntana wind. All round the Cap de Creus, which faces over the Gulf of Lions, are inaccessible islets, cliffs and coves. Though the waters look calm, sea goers have nicknamed it “the Devil’s Cape” and it abounds in tales of shipwrecks and rescues.
The outlines of the rocks (which Dalí described as “a grandiose geological delirium”) inspired his well-known pictures with double images. The views from the lighthouse (built in 1850 on the site of an old watchtower) have been used in various films, including The Light at the Edge of the World (1971), directed by Kevin Billington and starring Kirk Douglas and Yul Brynner.
In the last centuries being a fishing village, it was from the 50's when Cadaqués was opened universally. It has been visited by a large number of artists throughout the twentieth century: Picasso, Matisse, Max Ernst and Federico García Lorca (invited by Dali himself to his home when they were young students in Madrid). The streets of the fishing village, which for centuries suffered from pirate raids, the characteristic brand of Catalan spoken by the local people, the whitewashed houses, and the atmosphere of freedom still make it unique.
The geographical location of Cadaqués is just outstanding. Its bay is the largest natural harbor in the Costa Brava. Often the boats moored in it are of enormous dimensions. As we arrive to the village we cross the National Park of Cape Creus, a small peninsula that sits on a geological fault with more than 400 million years old. Today the park is classified by authorities as a protected natural environment.
Portlligat beach is near Cadaqués, just over a kilometer. It still seems as it was painted by the great Salvador Dalí : narrow and surrounded by rocks ...but who looks Cadaqués just for its beach? The village is full of cultural attractions that visitors can not miss. First, the Home-Museum of Salvador Dali, also in Portlligat, the first vertex that forms the Dalí triangle (made also by Púbol Castle and the Theatre-Museum Dalí in Figueres). Cadaqués center also houses several art galleries and the church of Santa Maria, from the seventeenth century, late Gothic styled, surrounded by numerous small streets that go to the beach. Cadaqués Museum has works made by Dali and other artists. Inside the Church of Santa Maria is a magnificent Baroque altarpiece, and a walk along the seafront to the small lighthouse of Cala Nans is an unforgettable experience.
Cadaqués is also a village of coffee and bars next to the beach. The old quarter is full of trendy shops and craft workshops. From Easter it begins to fill with tourists.
Undoubtedly Cadaqués is a must for anyone wishing to know the essence of the Costa Brava and especially the Dali Universe.

Fantastic customer service and quality! The hotel is at the top of town. Close to the Dali house, but a hike from the restaurants and town center. |

We have never had such wonderful stay in a hotel before. The owner of the hotel was very friendly and generous of helping us in many ways during our stay in Cadaques. The equipments are up to dated and amenities are very good quality. It is definitely worth to stay in this hotel whenever in Cadaques or near by. Hotel Calma Blanca has responded to this review |

The staff/owners were very friendly, loving couple, we were upgraded to a more spacious view w/breath taking view. The hotel was very clean and quite, walking distance to the house of Salvador Dali which is a very interesting tourist spot.... Parking was very limited space other than that no complaints |

This is a lovely small hotel that shows care and thoughtfulness in attention to detail. We had a lovely brief stay. I really liked the high quality of all the furnishings and especially the bed linens. And the staff couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. The location is not far from either the center of Cadaques or the Dali house museum so it is very convenient and also quiet! There wasn't anything I disliked but in the future i would prefer to have the spa bath not in the bedroom... but in a bathroom although in the design of the room we were in I see that it would have been difficult and some people probably don't mind. |

Hotel precioso, con mucho encanto y tranquilo. La chica que nos atendió es encantadora. está siempre pendiente de cualquier detalle. El desayuno algo caro para lo que ofrecen. Tiene deficiencias con la domotica, el Ipad se desprogramaba cada vez que se apagaba y la ubicación metido entre casas y huertos estropean un poco las vistas privilegiadas. |

El trato del personal (Monique) es excepcional. La instalacion es nueva a estrenar y hace gala de nuevas tecnologias que hacen agradable la estancia. El precio del desayuno (25 €) y el echo de no tener room service resta potencial a un gran hotel. Entiendo que tener a tu disposicion un chef con estrella michelin es un privilegio al alcance de muy pocos pero el echo de no poder pedir un sandwich para comer en la habitacion o la opcion de un cafe con una tostada para almorzar hace un poco incomoda la estancia. |
