Hotel of the Month: Finca Cortesin, Refined Retreat in the Andalusian Hills

Tucked away in the sun-drenched hills of Andalusia, Finca Cortesin is a sanctuary of understated luxury where time seems to slow down. Privately owned and meticulously designed in the style of a traditional Spanish finca, this peaceful estate offers a fresh take on Mediterranean elegance – serene, spacious and subtly spectacular.

Spread across 532 acres of manicured gardens and wild countryside, the resort is anchored by two grand courtyards and features 67 suites that blend timeless character with contemporary comfort. Think antique wooden doors reclaimed from centuries-old castles, hand-painted murals and earthy, neutral tones.

 

Finca Cortesin delivers world-class amenities with effortless grace: a championship golf course ranked among Europe’s finest, an exclusive art gallery, designer boutiques and stunning private villas for those seeking privacy.

Dining is a highlight. From REI, one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants outside Japan, to a relaxed Beach Club serving Mediterranean classics with a view of the sea, each culinary experience invites you to savour the moment.

At the heart of Finca Cortesin is the 2,200m² spa, a serene space with a 25-metre saltwater pool, thermal circuits and expert therapists from Thailand, Bali, Sri Lanka and Spain. The focus? Deeply personalised, holistic treatments

With four pools, including a tranquil adults-only option and a beachfront escape, there is no shortage of ways to soak up the southern Spanish sun.

Whether you’re here for the golf, the food, the spa or simply to unwind in one of Europe’s most peaceful coastal enclaves, Finca Cortesin offers a rare kind of luxury: warm, authentic and effortlessly refined.
