Bus transfers will be provided starting at 2:45pm from near Hotel Roger de Flor in Lloret (same drop of location from Barcelona), then 3pm from Hotel Santa Marta, with a pickup stop upon arrival in Blanes around 3:15-3:30 in the city center (Plaça de Catalunya), before ending at the Port of Blanes, where smaller shuttles provided by our venue will bring you up the hill to the wedding. Please don't be late - the buses won't wait for long!
Bus transfers will also return you to those three locations (Blanes city center, Hotel Santa Marta, and near Hotel Roger de Flor in Lloret) starting at 1:20am after the party (following the venue shuttling back down the hill). If you need to leave the event sooner, a designated member of the El Convent staff will be standing at the venue entrance to call taxis.
El Convent de Blanes, located less than 50 miles outside of Barcelona, was built in 1583 and preserved as a heritage site on account of its scenic value, overlooking the Balearic Sea apart of the Mediterranean. You'll find beautiful views in three directions - back down to the beach town of Blanes, up the ragged coastline, and out to the sea's horizon dotted with boats enjoying the blue and green waters. On the grounds of more than 5,000 square meters, you'll enjoy a beautifully arranged garden amidst iconic pine trees extending out over the cliff.
The ceremony space has steps diving down toward the horizon as you enter, a picturesque backdrop to the most important moment. The cocktail hour moves along the cliffline to a partially wooden-floored terrace, with access to a secluded photo op view of the Costa Brava coast. The dinner is held inside the convent's stone foundation and many windows. And the open-air dance floor sits atop the afternoon views of garden and sea.
We are kindly requesting that the ceremony and reception be adults only. If you are interested in babysitting services, please reach out to Elise or John for the babysitters' contact information.
We are thrilled to have Michelin-rated chef Nandu Jubany cater our cocktail hour and dinner. Guests will be treated to traditional Catalan cuisine presented in a variety of truly unique and gorgeous displays. The personal service from their staff, visual appeal of the dishes, and amazing tastes are all top notch, and we can't wait for you to experience it all throughout the night, as well as the Spanish wines and spirits at the bar.
