Where to Stay

Suites at Finca Cortesin are among the largest in Spain, blending traditional Andalusian architecture with refined modern comfort. High ceilings, natural stone, hand-painted tiles, and expansive terraces create an atmosphere that feels residential and deeply romantic.

Every room opens onto gardens, courtyards, or countryside views — giving couples privacy, light, and a sense of living within the landscape rather than just visiting it (check resort availability).

Golf

The Finca Cortesin Golf Course is consistently ranked among the top courses in Europe and has hosted the Spanish Open. Designed for both challenge and enjoyment, the course winds through rolling hills with wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and panoramic views of the Mediterranean.

  • Championship-caliber layout with tournament pedigree
  • Pristine conditioning year-round
  • Generous fairways that reward thoughtful play
  • Quiet, uncrowded tee times that elevate the experience

Whether you both play or one heads out while the other enjoys the spa, golf here feels unrushed, scenic, and deeply satisfying.

Day Spa

The Finca Cortesin Spa is a destination in its own right — serene, expansive, and bathed in natural light. Treatments blend Mediterranean wellness traditions with modern therapeutic techniques, creating experiences that restore both body and mind.

  • Thermal circuit with hydrotherapy pool
  • Hammam, sauna, and steam rooms
  • Couples' treatment suites
  • Holistic rituals focused on relaxation and balance

It's the perfect counterbalance to a morning on the course — warm, calming, and designed for lingering.

Dining

Dining at Finca Cortesin is refined yet unpretentious, highlighting Andalusian flavors, seasonal ingredients, and Mediterranean freshness. Options range from elegant fine dining to relaxed terrace meals overlooking the hills.
