Nestled in the heart of the Empordà, just 45 minutes from Girona Airport and 1h30 from Barcelona, Brugarol unfolds across vineyards, olive groves, forests, coastline, and wilderness. Here, nature is not a backdrop; it is the origin of every experience we create. We are honored to share with you a collection of places passed down through generations, spaces shaped by history, care, and purpose. From elegant country houses and our Mediterranean beach retreat Hostal La Fosca, to working farms, restored venues for gatherings and weddings, secluded mini-resorts in the wild beauty of the Muga Valley, and our gastronomic window in the heart of Barcelona at Restaurant Brugarol Barcelona. Each corner of Brugarol carries a story, a memory, and a purpose.
At the heart of the estate in Palamós lies Celler Brugarol, an architectural masterpiece where wine, olive oil, land, and design converge in quiet harmony. Built into the earth itself, it embodies our devotion to enoculture and sustainable living, honoring tradition while embracing innovation. Our renowned wines express the character of the Empordà terroir, and our extra virgin olive oils capture the purity and vitality of Mediterranean cultivation.
Hospitality at Brugarol is an art, thoughtful, genuin, and sincere. At Mas Bell-Lloc, refined country elegance welcomes guests into serene rooms and private villas surrounded by vineyards and pine forests. Along the Mediterranean shore, our Hostal La Fosca and The Home by the Sea offer sea-view terraces, gardens and understated sophistication, guided by the rhythm of light and tide.
Further inland, our boutique Muga Wilderness Estate stands as a secluded safe space within untamed landscapes, a place of profound privacy, silence, and authentic comfort. It forms part of our long-term commitment to the Muga Valley Project: regenerating ecosystems, nurturing biodiversity, and practicing responsible stewardship. We see ourselves not as owners, but as caretakers of these lands, dedicated to preserving and improving them for generations to come.
From our own farm at Mas Salvà and the verdant gardens of Mas del Vent, we craft artisanal products that honor slow, respectful agriculture. From handcrafted cheeses that capture the richness of our pastures to the fresh bounty of our gardens, each creation reflects the care of our farmers and the rhythm of the land. Every product embodies authenticity, quality, and a deep reverence for the earth that sustains us.
In the vibrant heart of metropolitan Barcelona, Restaurant Brugarol Barcelona offers a unique gastronomic window into the soul of our land. Inspired by Japanese Izakaya bars, we define ourselves as a tapas bar where chefs craft Japanese-inspired tapas with a style rooted in tradition rather than modern trends. Most of our ingredients come from the lands and farms of Brugarol in Palamós, in the heart of the Empordà, where culture, history, and gastronomy shape both character and landscape. Here, our cuisine is raw in essence, bold, pure, and honest. Every dish channels the elements of the land: the air, the fire, and the winds of the Mediterranean.
Across coast, countryside, and city, every Brugarol experience is an invitation to discover the essence of our land through Brugarol Originals. Wander the vineyards on guided wine tours and tastings, accompany the shepherd across the rolling Catalan countryside, or embark on a wilderness safari to explore the restoration and conservation work we support in the Muga Valley. For the adventurous, a visit to a vulture observation post atop the Pyrenean mountains reveals the wild majesty of the region and the delicate balance of nature we strive to protect. Every journey is rooted in connection — to the land, to culture, and to community.
In the heart of the Muga Valley, Brugarol is more than a guest experience — it is a promise to the land. Through the Muga Valley Watershed Project, we nurture a long-term vision of ecological balance, self-sufficiency, and responsible stewardship. From organic farming to regenerative viticulture and olive oil production, every effort supports a sustainable relationship between people and the landscape.
