Cadaqués


Dream Palace Cadaqués summons us into the imaginative realm of the great dreamer, Salvador Dalí. Long regarded as a portal for surrealism, Cadaqués has inspired generations of artists to dream alongside its extraordinary landscape infused with myth, mystery, and a touch of witchcraft.



The Island

Isla S'Arenella, Cadaqués, Spain

One of the few remaining private islands in Spain, Isla S'Arenella sits just off the shore of Cadaqués, reached by a short boat crossing from the village. It is the heart of Dream Palace; your home, your base, and part of the dream itself.

    • 2000m2 of wild, well-maintained garden with native Cadaqués vegetation
    • Spectacular views from every point on the island,  the terrace looks out over S'Arenella beach, es Cucurucú, and the town
    • A beautiful period villa with rooms that are each unique
    • All rooms have access to private bathrooms
    • Many rooms feature sea views
    • Most meals provided for Island Pass holders
    • Boat transport to and from the island included







The Village





Cadaqués is historically one of the most remote villages on the Costa Brava, cut off from the rest of Spain by the Serra de Rodes mountains until a road was built in the 1960s. That isolation shaped it. Artists, visionaries, and dreamers found their way here anyway.

The village itself is part of the programme. Sessions, scenes, and encounters will unfold across:

    • The garden of Dalí's house at Portlligat
    • Local beaches
    • The tower overlooking es Cucurucú
    • The church
    • Bar Habana
    • The boat route between island and shore
    • Cap de Creus,  the dramatic headland at the easternmost point of Spain


The landscape is not a backdrop.
It is part of the work.
