The northern Costa Brava — the Alt Empordà — packs an unusual amount into a small radius: a championship golf course, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean, surrealist art and a Michelin-grade food scene. Based at a private estate near Peralada, you can do as much or as little as you like without long drives. This itinerary assumes a relaxed luxury pace.

Day 1 — Arrival & settle in

Fly into Girona (≈35 min) or Barcelona (≈90 min). Stock the villa, open the wine, and let the group find the pool. A first dinner in, prepared by a private chef, sets the tone.

Day 2 — Golf at Peralada

An early tee time at Golf Peralada for the players; pool, gym and a late breakfast for everyone else. Regroup for a long lunch.

Day 3 — Cadaqués & Cap de Creus

Drive 30 minutes to Cadaqués, the whitewashed village that drew Dalí and Picasso, then on to the wild headland of Cap de Creus. Swim in a hidden cove; lunch on grilled fish by the water.

Day 4 — Wine in Peralada

Five minutes from the estate, the Peralada winery offers cellar tours and tastings of award-winning Empordà wines. Pair it with the medieval village, its castle and casino.

Day 5 — Dalí in Figueres

Twelve minutes away, the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres is one of Europe's most visited galleries — surreal, theatrical and unmissable. Afternoon at leisure by the pool.

Day 6 — The beaches & coves

The coast from Llançà to Roses is a string of calm bays and dramatic coves. Hire a boat for the day, or settle into a beach club. Evening: the villa's own pace — dinner, then the private nightclub for those still going.

Day 7 — Slow morning & gastronomy

The Empordà is one of Spain's great food regions. Close the week with a standout lunch — from rustic cargols to a tasting menu — before a final swim and departure.
