Sand Star

Sand Star: Catalonia

Located in Barcelona’s elegant Gràcia neighbourhood – where you'll find indie boutiques, galleries, arthouse cinemas, cool Catalan bistros and wine bars all vying for your attention – this beautifully curated apartment puts you in an ideal position to soak up the best of Barcelona living.

With a decor inspired by calm desert landscapes, you’ll immediately feel relaxed as you make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of wine and a record on the turntable or as you perch by the Juliet balcony and people-watch from your privileged position.

We love how open and bright the main living area is with its rattan ornaments and inviting bench dining table – the ideal spot to begin mornings over coffee or end nights with a celebratory homemade tapas feast.

The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as serene with its warm earthy palette and convenient desk space should you need to catch up on work, while the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower will get any day off on the right foot.

When you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, you needn’t go far before seeing some of the city’s most iconic sights. Gaudí’s ornate Casa Milà is a twelve-minute walk, La Sagrada Familia is an eighteen-minute stroll and Park Güell is twenty-two minutes away on foot.
