Tucked between the Mediterranean and the rolling hills of San Roque, Fairmont La Hacienda Costa Del Sol enjoys an exclusive position at the western end of the Costa del Sol, just outside stylish Sotogrande. You’re surrounded by two 18-hole golf courses, with sea views in the distance and the glamorous Sotogrande marina a short drive away for waterfront dinners, yacht-spotting and low-key nightlife.

This is a quieter, more natural stretch of coastline, with marshes and protected reserves nearby, yet you’re still within easy reach of Malaga and Gibraltar for day trips.

Sotogrande, Costa Del Sol, Spain

Dining at Fairmont La Hacienda Costa Del Sol leans into the flavours of Andalusia with a modern, gastronomic twist.

Dalmar Restaurant is the resort’s signature venue, a speciality à la carte in collaboration with 2* Michelin chef Benito Gómez. Expect creative local cuisine, refined plating and thoughtful wine pairings in a stylish setting.

El Faro de la Hacienda combines buffet and à la carte service, serving local fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner – from generous spreads in the morning to immersive evening meals with sherry-paired dishes and, on selected nights, live dance or music accompaniment.

For relaxed poolside days, Umbra Restaurant brings a more informal à la carte menu, ideal for leisurely lunches by the water.

Drinks and aperitifs are poured in the elegant Vista Lounge & Terrace, the lobby bar with indoor and outdoor seating that runs from mid-morning through to late evening – perfect for pre-dinner cocktails or a nightcap overlooking the resort.

A smart dress code (long trousers for gentlemen in the evening) may apply. Reservations may be required and some items or venues can attract a supplement, depending on your board basis. Offerings and opening times are subject to seasonal change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Outside, two spacious freshwater pools are the tranquil heart of the resort. One is adult-only, with a refined sunbathing area featuring plush sunbeds, parasols and Balinese beds – ideal for long, lazy days with a book and a chilled drink. The second outdoor pool is more family-friendly but equally serene, surrounded by manicured gardens and wide terraces.

Inside the spa complex you’ll find a heated indoor freshwater pool, typically warmed from March through to November, giving you year-round swimming even when the sea breeze picks up. Complimentary pool towels are provided, and facilities vary slightly by pool.

The closest beach sits around 2.8km away – a short drive or taxi – where you can dip in the Med or stroll the shoreline before heading back to the resort’s relative seclusion.

Wellness is a major focus at Fairmont La Hacienda Costa Del Sol. The spa offers a full hydrothermal circuit with sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool, alongside a heated indoor pool. A wide menu of massages and beauty treatments is available (local charges apply), with a minimum age of 14 for spa access and 18 for certain services.

The fitness centre is air-conditioned and impressively equipped, with cardio training machines, free-weights, fixed strength equipment, an aerobics studio and a dedicated stretching zone (generally 18+). A light-filled yoga studio hosts stretching and wellness sessions, offering a calming counterpoint to time on the fairways.

Golfers are spoiled with an on-site clubhouse and two 18-hole courses surrounding the resort (green fees and equipment at extra cost). Elsewhere, you’ll find landscaped grounds ideal for gentle walks, a stylish lobby and concierge desk, and thoughtfully designed social spaces for reading or working.

Reception is on hand for concierge services, currency exchange and luggage storage, helping your stay run smoothly from arrival to departure.
