Hippocampe

Medes Islands, Spain

Hippocampe, tucked away near Fabrégas beach, is one of those comfortable, unpretentious centres that just gets the job done. We've geared up in their shaded courtyard before, a nice touch on a sunny day, and the proximity to the quay for boarding is genuinely convenient. They focus heavily on getting divers out to the Medes Islands, which means you're almost guaranteed some impressive wall dives and encounters with the resident groupers. It’s a solid choice if you're looking for a straightforward, no-fuss operation that knows the local sites intimately and puts you right on the boat.
