Simply the Best

Finca Cortesín, the Andalucían golf, boutique hotel and spa resort held its nerve and is now reaping the benefits

Long Drive, Next Stop - North Africa!

Finca Cortesín is, compared to many resorts, relatively lightly-played, in the order of 15,000 rounds per year when most rival ‘Resorts,’ squeeze twice that and more, resulting in the tees, greens and fairways invariably being in immaculate condition.

Both the clubhouse, which looks out over the practice range and into a dramatic backdrop framed by the rugged Andalusian mountain, and the hotel were new-builds, but one would never know that; both exude the sense that they have been in situ since time immemorial.

Designed by the renowned architects Roger Torras and Ignacio Sierra, the 67-suite boutique hotel was inspired and influenced by the architecture of traditional Spanish fincas (small estates), creating the impression that it was built more than 100 years ago.

The spacious rooms, hallways and public areas are finished with marble, antiques, goblins and decorations originating from Spanish, Portuguese, French and Belgian monarchial castles, monasteries and stately homes, and if the architects created bricks and mortar with the highest design values, interior designers (the late) Duarte Pinto Coelho and Ana and Cristina Calderon set their work alight with vision flair and exceptional taste.
