On the outskirts of the charming town of Cadaqués along the Costa Brava sits the majestic Casa Lligat. This 10-bedroom villa is nestled in a 5-acre private park surrounded by pine and olive trees and faces the Cap de Creus natural park. With its breath-taking sea views, outdoor spaces and spectacular infinity pool, this haven of tranquillity offers extreme privacy and benefits from direct access to the sea.
Extending over 500m², Casa Lligat offers spacious living areas and can accommodate a maximum of 20 guests. Designed in 1962 by the well-known American architect Peter Harnden, the villa combines modernity, simplicity and high level comfort and refinement, with influences from both Californian style from the 1950’s and rustic Mediterranean style. The property has a rich history: for nearly 20 years, Dali’s personal manager, namely Captain Moore, lived in the house!
The one-storey villa perched on the rock high above the sea has two parts: the main house (4 bedrooms), and six exterior bedrooms with independent access, all connected with gorgeous Mediterranean patios and stone steps. The main house features an open-plan living/dining space with a sunken sofa area, fireplace, piano, and access to a terrace. A fully equipped kitchen with an island and bar seating opens to the interior patio. Outside, a heated infinity pool (please see Ts&Cs) can be found in it's dedicated area with secure gates, providing peace of mind for those children, and a pool house, gardens, multiple terraces and dining areas for 12-14 guests leave you spoilt for choice for places to spend your time at the villa. Stone steps lead straight down to the seafront, adding to the magical serene feel this villa exudes.
Casa Lligat is located in Port Lligat, a picturesque cove in northern Spain near the charming town of Cadaqués, Catalonia. This tranquil area is famous for being the residence of Salvador Dalí, whose former home is now the Salvador Dalí House-Museum. Visitors can explore the eccentric artist's life, wandering through rooms filled with surreal art and personal artifacts.
Nature enthusiasts will love the surrounding Cap de Creus Natural Park, a rugged landscape with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters. It’s perfect for hiking, cycling, and kayaking, offering stunning views and a chance to spot local wildlife. A short drive to the Far de Cap de Creus lighthouse provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean and is an ideal spot for photography or a peaceful sunset stroll.
Cadaqués, just a 10-minute drive away, is a vibrant coastal town with narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings, and a rich artistic heritage. Its waterfront is lined with excellent restaurants and cafes serving fresh seafood and Catalan cuisine. Art lovers can visit the Municipal Museum of Cadaqués, while those looking to relax can unwind at nearby beaches like Platja Gran or Sa Conca.

Exceptional experience: magnificent recently renovated house, with 360° view of the Mediterranean Sea and a perfect welcome! Large volumes, natural and local materials, omnipresent light, objects and books telling the story of the house and Dali. Very refreshing stay in the heart of winter!
Matthieu
A breathtaking location with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean and the stunning cliffs surrounding Cadaqués. This place steeped in history (former home of Dali's private secretary) offered us a wonderful immersion in Dali's world, and a very rejuvenating moment, surrounded by absolutely splendid natural elements!
