Hotels in Caldes de Malavella

Centre and spa area

The town grew up around its hot springs, and most of the accommodation is still near them. Here are the two historic spas, the Prats and the Vichy Catalan, in late 19th- and early 20th-century buildings. Between them are the church of Sant Esteve, shopping streets and everyday restaurants.

From the centre you can walk up to the Roman baths of the Puig de Sant Grau and the Puig de les Ànimes, two of the town's most visited remains. It is the area chosen by couples coming to rest for a few days who want the thermal water, dinner and a stroll without taking the car.

Best-rated in this area: 1881 Hotel Balneario Vichy Catalan, with a score of 8.0 from 2,823 reviews.

Station and the way out to Girona

Caldes has a station on the Barcelona–Girona–Portbou line, with regional trains in both directions. Staying in the streets near the station lets you spend the day in Girona and come back in the evening without relying on the car. Girona airport is in the neighbouring municipality of Vilobí d'Onyar, handy for those arriving on an early flight or leaving early.

Golf and residential estates

Outside the town, the municipality has championship-length golf courses. Around them are complexes with apartments and houses with gardens, designed for stays of several days and for groups of friends who play every morning.

Residential estates such as Franciac offer silence and space, although services are far away and you will need a car for almost everything. They suit families looking for a pool and calm, and those who want to explore La Selva, the Costa Brava or Les Gavarres without driving into a town every day.
