Location
Hotel Coral Boutique by Gaia Rooms sits on a side street right in the heart of L’Estartit, so you’re steps from pavement cafés, bakeries and low-key bars yet a short walk from the beach and marina.
L’Estartit itself curves around a 5km sweep of golden sand backed by the dramatic Montgrí Massif, with boat trips heading out to the protected Medes Islands – a magnet for snorkellers and scuba divers. Expect a gentle, family-friendly atmosphere rather than big nightlife, with plenty of seafront restaurants and a charming old-town feel.

Facilities and Rooms | Hotel Coral Boutique by Gaia Rooms
Restaurants and Bars
Start your day with a generous buffet breakfast featuring continental favourites alongside local touches, served in a relaxed, light-filled setting.
At Blau Mari, the hotel’s à la carte restaurant, you can tuck into Spanish and Catalan dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner out on the terrace (open roughly late April–early November, depending on occupancy). Expect fresh local produce, seafood and classic tapas-style plates.
A coffee bar and main bar keep drinks and light bites coming between 10:00 and 22:00 in season, ideal for a relaxed pre-dinner drink before wandering into town. A smart-casual dress code applies and beachwear is usually not permitted inside. Reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis, and opening times/menus can change seasonally.
Pool Areas and Beach
Up on the roof you’ll find an outdoor freshwater pool with a relaxed sun terrace. Hammocks, swing beds and parasols create a chilled, adults-friendly space for lazy afternoons with a book and a drink. The pool typically operates from late April to early November, weather and occupancy permitting.
When you’re ready for the sea, the broad sandy beach of L’Estartit is just 300m away. The gently shelving shoreline is great for paddling and casual swims, with views across to the Medes Islands and a promenade lined with bars and restaurants.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Hotel Coral Boutique by Gaia Rooms keeps things simple and boutique-style rather than activity-heavy. There’s a reception desk for local tips, taxi bookings and excursion information, plus free Wi-Fi throughout so you can plan days out or stream your favourite shows.
While there’s no on-site gym, spa or organised entertainment, the location makes up for it: coastal paths, boat trips, diving centres and the historic town of Torroella de Montgrí are all easily reached for days out mixing culture and nature.
