Villa Favorita: The Boutique Hotel Inheriting the Belle Époque’s Legacy of Wellbeing
San Sebastián has been a renowned spa destination since the Belle Époque, when Queen Maria Christina and the European aristocracy surrendered to the charms of this beautiful city, where bathing in La Concha Bay was considered —and still is considered— a source of health and vitality. Directly facing this iconic beach stands the Villa Favorita Hotel, an exclusive adults-only hotel with 23 rooms and suites which features a seaside bar and restaurant offering exceptional gastronomy and mixology. Additionally, the hotel has made care for the body one of its defining hallmarks in recent times.
Its treatment room offers a comprehensive selection of experiences that blend traditional techniques with innovative therapies. Among them are anti-stress, therapeutic, and sensory massages —such as the Lomi-Juma massage— along with relaxing rituals featuring detox wraps, oriental massages, and facial and body treatments focused on radiance, anti-aging, and stress relief. There are also special treatments designed to ease muscle tension and contractures, promoting harmony and holistic wellbeing. All treatments are performed by therapists from La Perla, one of Europe’s leading thalassotherapy centers whose origins date back to 1912, located right next to the hotel itself.
Guests’ wellbeing experience is enhanced by access to La Perla’s thalassotherapy treatment circuit, a marine journey that combines sea-water pools with pressure and hydromassage jets, Jacuzzis, hydrotherapy beds, a sensory circuit, saunas, steam baths, and ice fountains. It’s a unique space designed to revitalize body and mind in an incomparable setting, with panoramic views of the bay and direct access to La Concha Beach.
Villa Favorita completes this selection of treatments with its newly inaugurated rooftop wellness area, featuring a Finnish sauna and a Technogym-equipped fitness studio with the latest professional equipment. This new addition reinforces the hotel’s vision of being a true sanctuary of health, rest, and beauty — a space in perfect dialogue with the sea.
