Eurostars Sitges - A Luxury Mediterranean Oasis Reimagined
Eurostars Sitges has coined the term "Mediterranean oasis" to describe the overall experience of what it's like to stay there, and they are right. Just 30 minutes from Barcelona city, Eurostars Sitges, a luxury hotel where one can easily forget everything. A shuttle service takes guests back and forth from the hotel to Sitges town (upon schedule), and overall, client services are well-appointed.
It's easy to see why even locals book a night or two at the luxury hotel. Four sizeable solar-powered swimming pools nestled under tall palm trees make it the best base for reading a book, enjoying a bite and cooling off on hot days. The pool areas are suitable for various holidaymakers, including groups of friends, families and couples. The shallower pools attract little ones, and lifeguards are on duty during pool hours. The infinity pool has a glorious view that looks out onto the golf course and the hilly and exclusive side of Can Girona, where the wealthy set has outstanding houses perched for all to see. Aside from the pools, guests can order food and drink from the beach bar, making pool days nice and easy.

The hotel reopened its doors in 2020, with the new management leading several changes, including design, services and amenities. From the moment your car pulls up to the property, a beautiful frame of the hotel and sea greets you—warm wooden tones for the entrance act as a backdrop for the pops of colours and print inside. An eclectic avant-garde style combines the Mediterranean spirit to create a bold, fun, stylish interior. The main corridor from the reception to the pools and rooms almost serves as a runway with adjacent spaces for breakouts, drinks, relaxation or virtual and in-person meetings. You will also find the Masalvia bar on this level, which has a simple bar menu including hamburgers and pasta and is an excellent spot for signature cocktails. Try the gins or get them to create something special based on your preferences.
Eurostars Sitges is a gastronomic destination. Chef Jaume Balada has an array of mouthwatering dishes at Terrassa La Punta restaurant, which faces the hill and is an inviting setting for a dining experience. Jaume sketches his proposed meals before executing them and adding them to the menu. The result is a visually pleasing yet delicious serving of locally sourced food with a twist. The emphasis is on local ingredients, with the fish of the day sourced from Vilanova, eco meat and organic olive oil. One can't ignore the fact that the hotel is close to one of the finest wine regions in Europe, so guests will also find a fine selection of wines.

Verema restaurant on the lower level doubles up as the breakfast room in the morning and modern yet casual space for lunch and dinner. Harmony and balance are evident in; the picturesque landscape, the restaurant itself, playful art, and the contrast of bold curve lines and floor-to-ceiling windows. The patterned tiled floor along with the tableside lamps shout Wes Anderson vibes, with the showstopping staircase creating ¨the entrance¨for anyone walking down it gives Wes Anderson vibes. Here, guests can enjoy show-cooking sessions on the front deck with a jaw-dropping view.
