Finca Cortesin

Hotel Finca Cortesin is a grand retreat inspired by traditional Andalusian architecture, with big, bright rooms and airy courtyards of palatial proportions, all accented with antiques and materials from Spain, Portugal, Morocco that give a timeless feel.

The hotel has 67 large, luminous and exquisitely designed suites with lofty high ceilings. No two are alike and some have a small pool on their terrace. There are also fully serviced private villas available.

This is all set among acres of manicured gardens in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja a little west of Marbella, with sweeping views down to the Mediterranean and surrounding countryside. You’ll also find three huge pools, tennis courts, fine spa and, to top it off, one of Spain’s best golf courses. The private beach club’s infinity pool, beach-side restaurant and sun loungers are just five minutes away.

Dining is a treat here too. All day venue El Jardín is the relaxed venue for Spanish cuisine while Michelin-starred Kabuki Raw combines Japanese traditions with Mediterranean ingredients to form fabulous evening meals. Italian eatery Don Giovanni is open for dinner in the summer only. You can also eat at the golf club house and with bars and drink spaces throughout, you’re never too far away from a cocktail.
