The hotel at Finca Cortesin comprises 67 luxurious suites, each one a perfect base for any golfer visiting the Costa del Sol. The suites are exceptionally spacious, furnished with elegant pieces that give every room a refined, understated style. This is a landmark hotel that has redefined what a southern Spanish golf resort can be.
Every suite features its own private garden or balcony, ideal for soaking up the Andalusian sun and taking in the views across the estate. The hotel sits just a short walk from the first tee, so your next round on this championship layout is never more than a few minutes away. That proximity is a real bonus when you're playing multiple rounds, you can nip back to your room between loops, grab lunch at the hotel, or simply enjoy the fact that you're not spending half your day in transit.
Finca Cortesin isn't just for travelling golfers. The spa is genuinely peaceful, with dedicated areas for face and body treatments. Guests can choose from a varied treatment menu, from facials to full body therapies, all designed to revitalise skin and refresh mind and body. The spa also offers a variety of massage therapies, perfect for loosening up before your next round or unwinding after 18 holes on a warm afternoon. There are three separate treatment zones, which means the space never feels crowded, even when the hotel is busy.
The resort is home to two exceptional restaurants. El Jardín de Lutz serves traditional Spanish cuisine in a relaxed yet elegant setting, while REI showcases the work of renowned head chef Luis Olarra, who presents his own interpretation of Asian cuisine rooted in Japanese tradition and enriched with flavours from across the gastronomic world.
El Jardín de Lutz offers a more laid-back atmosphere for guests who prefer classic Spanish dishes. Inside, the restaurant features tall ceilings, clay-tiled floors, antiques and hand-painted Portuguese tiles. Outside, a spectacular terrace overlooks the Mediterranean and the resort's picturesque gardens, filled with ancient olive trees that add real character to the setting. It's the sort of place where you can linger over dinner without feeling rushed, and the menu leans heavily on local produce and traditional Andalusian recipes done well.
REI by Finca Cortesin is the hotel's signature restaurant, where guests can watch Luis Olarra at work in the open kitchen as he prepares dishes using top-quality seafood, produce grown organically in the resort's own vegetable garden and Spanish culinary classics reimagined with precision and flair. The tasting menu is the way to go if you want the full experience, and the wine list is strong on Spanish labels with a few international options for variety.
