An Insider's Take
'This Andalusian sanctuary sits on a spectacular 532-acre estate where championship golf meets Michelin-starred dining, just minutes from the legendary Costa del Sol.' What's Special? Home to Spain's #1 golf course according to Golf Digest, Finca Cortesin features an 18-hole championship course designed by Cabell Robinson. The property boasts the only hotel spa in Europe by ESPA, and its Kabuki Raw restaurant holds a coveted Michelin star. The resort's olive groves produce award-winning extra virgin olive oil served throughout the property.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book tee times early morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and cooler temperatures on the championship course – plus you'll catch stunning views of the Mediterranean and Gibraltar.
Don't Miss The signature ESPA treatment using locally-sourced olive oil in their 2,200-square-meter spa, and a sunset dinner at Kabuki Raw where traditional Japanese techniques meet Andalusian ingredients. The nearby whitewashed village of Casares, birthplace of Blas Infante (father of Andalusian nationalism), offers authentic tapas and spectacular hilltop views.

An Insider's Take
'Tucked into the sun-drenched hills of Casares, Finca Cortesin is Andalusia's best-kept secret — a palatial Moorish-inspired retreat where world-class golf meets sublime Mediterranean luxury, all just minutes from the Costa del Sol.' What's Special?

Finca Cortesin is one of Spain's most awarded luxury hotels, consistently ranked among Europe's finest. Set on a sprawling 215-hectare estate, the hotel features just 67 suites — ensuring an intimacy rare for a property of this caliber. Its championship golf course hosted the prestigious Volvo World Match Play Championship, cementing its reputation on the world stage. The legendary Spa Cortesin, one of the largest in Europe at over 2,000 square meters, offers an unmatched wellness journey. Every detail here — from the hand-painted tiles to the curated art collection — reflects a deep reverence for Andalusian heritage.

WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Request a suite with direct pool or garden access and book a tee time well in advance — the 18-hole course fills up fast, especially during spring and autumn when the Costa del Sol weather is at its absolute best.
Don't Miss

Dinner at El Cortijo, the hotel's signature restaurant, is an absolute must — seasonal Andalusian cuisine prepared with ingredients sourced from the estate's own gardens. And don't skip the short drive to the whitewashed village of Casares itself, a stunning hilltop pueblo perched at 435 meters with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and the Rock of Gibraltar — one of Spain's most photogenic villages.
