For those people who do not carry their own luggage. In the rolling hills of Catalonia’s Empordà region lies Mas de les Voltes, one of Spain’s most exclusive and sought-after wedding estates. Known as the “crown jewel of Empordà” and often described by planners as the holy grail of Spanish wedding venues, it hosts only a handful of weddings each year, ensuring each one is entirely bespoke and curated with meticulous care. With its dramatic geometric gardens by renowned landscape architect, a restored Catalan farmhouse, and the freedom of complete exclusivity, Mas de les Voltes has featured in Vogue and numerous international design and lifestyle publications, firmly establishing itself as one of the most prestigious addresses in Spain for luxury celebrations.
About Más de les Voltes
Originally designed in 1994 by Fernando Caruncho, Mas de les Voltes is celebrated for its unique blend of architecture, geometric gardens, and Mediterranean light. Its gardens are an internationally recognised masterpiece of landscape design: wheat fields ripple through the grounds in golden symmetry, framed by rows of cypress and olive trees. Seasonal blooms transform the setting, with red poppies weaving through the spring wheat and golden glow of summer fields. Long reflective pools extend across terraces, adding a sculptural quality, the natural Mediterranean light enhancing every moment. The result is a living, breathing work of art that elevates wedding celebrations here in a way no other venue can.
The estate itself combines rustic Catalan farmhouse architecture — “mas” and its vaulted “volta” construction, with understated modern comforts. Its interiors are minimalist, versatile, and infused with natural light, allowing couples the freedom to style the space in line with their vision.
Ceremonies
With capacity for up to 500 guests, receptions at Mas de les Voltes can be expansive affairs or intimate celebrations tailored to smaller groups. The venue is fully licensed for marriage, and offers in-house planning and coordination to ensure every detail, from logistics to design, is seamless.
Mas de les Voltes offers a variety of striking ceremony settings, each imbued with a distinct character and atmosphere:
- Mediterranean Gardens – framed by olive and cypress trees, ideal for large gatherings yet equally intimate when styled for smaller groups.
- Poolside Terrace – perfectly suited for sunset ceremonies, cocktail hours, or symbolic rituals against a dramatic horizon.
- Wheat Parterres & Caruncho Gardens – the estate’s signature setting, iconic and ever-changing with the seasons, offering photographers unparalleled natural backdrops.
- Farmhouse Interiors – minimalist and versatile, a sophisticated alternative for smaller ceremonies or as a refined wet-weather contingency.
Receptions & Celebrations
Couples often begin with cocktails beside the shimmering pool before moving into the gardens or terraces for an al fresco dinner beneath the Catalonian night sky. The flow of the estate allows for effortless transitions between moments; from a champagne reception in the gardens, to long banquet-style dining in the open air, and on to dancing into the early hours under the stars.
Fireworks are permitted, music has no curfew, and the atmosphere is completely flexible, whether the couple envisions a glamorous black-tie event, a rustic-chic countryside feast, or a bohemian celebration alive with colour and creativity. The estate’s reputation for giving planners and couples full creative freedom has made it one of the most admired and respected venues in Europe.
Accommodation
Requiring a minimum stay of 4 nights, the restored farmhouse offers 7 bedrooms accommodating up to 12 guests, with breakfast included. Each room is thoughtfully appointed, blending rustic Catalan charm with understated luxury and modern comforts. The intimate on-site accommodation is perfect for the bridal party, close family, or friends who want to be at the heart of the celebration. The privacy, quiet, and stunning views make it an ideal retreat for wedding preparations, morning rituals, and post-celebration relaxation.
While the on-site capacity is designed for a select few, the surrounding Costa Brava region offers an abundance of additional options, from boutique hotels and coastal resorts to charming countryside villas. The venue team supports couples in coordinating group stays, ensuring that all guests are comfortably housed within easy reach of the celebration, creating a destination wedding experience that extends beyond the estate itself.
Catering
Catering at Mas de les Voltes is entrusted to a carefully selected list of trusted suppliers, giving couples access to some of the finest chefs and caterers in Spain. Whether envisioning a multi-course Michelin-inspired tasting menu, a long Mediterranean banquet with sharing platters, or a lively outdoor feast with local specialities, dining is entirely bespoke. Menus can be adapted to reflect cultural traditions, dietary requirements, and personal tastes, making every meal both memorable and meaningful.
The estate holds a license to distribute alcohol, and bar setups are flexible and creative. From champagne served on the lawn to signature cocktails mixed by the pool or a curated open bar that lasts until dawn, the service is tailored to the rhythm of the celebration. Couples can design their food and drink experience to flow across different spaces, ensuring each chapter of the wedding feels distinct and intentional.
Activities
A wedding at Mas de les Voltes is always so much more than a single day; it is a once in a lifetime experience with opportunities for guests to explore the region and relax. The estate’s gardens and terraces provide endless opportunities for quiet walks, sunrise yoga, pre-wedding gatherings, and post-wedding brunches, all surrounded by the iconic landscape of Empordà. Beyond the estate, the region offers a wealth of experiences:
- Costa Brava’s beaches and towns – white sands, turquoise waters, and lively Mediterranean culture.
