Andalusia adds another jewel to its coastline with the arrival of Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol, the iconic Fairmont brand’s first resort in Spain. Located on the privileged coastline of San Roque, Cádiz, this contemporary sanctuary of elegance and well-being redefines the concept of Mediterranean luxury with a style that combines authenticity, sophistication and sustainability.
From the moment you walk through the doors of the majestic lobby – dominated by a whale tail sculpture that visually blends into the blue of the sea – you know you are in for an experience like no other. With windows that open to the vastness of the Mediterranean and views as far as Morocco and the Rock of Gibraltar, Fairmont La Hacienda is much more than a place to stay it is a destination.
A Sanctuary of Luxury and Exclusivity
Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol has 153 rooms and suites and 47 private villas, all designed in keeping with the brand’s philosophy of blending in with the environment. The interior design by Studio Ibu uses natural materials such as stone, hardwood, rattan, handmade ceramics and organic textiles to create spaces that breathe calm and light. The Deluxe Rooms, with over 50m² of space and private terraces, and the Villas, some with up to nine bedrooms and swimming pools overlooking the sea, evoke the aesthetics of a charming white Andalusian village.
Culinary Excellence and Authenticity
But if there is one thing that sets Fairmont La Hacienda apart, it is its commitment to gastronomic excellence. Its flagship restaurant, Dalmar, is headed by two Michelin-starred chef Benito Gómez. From anchovies cured in seaweed to tuna belly and focaccia with homemade stracciatella, his menu is a seductive blend of product, technique and emotion. Other unique spaces include El Faro, where you can enjoy Andalusian dishes overlooking the sea; Umbra, a poolside oasis inspired by local coastal cuisine; Vista, ideal for sunset cocktails; and a private beach club that transforms into a lively night lounge with DJ beats.
Wellness and Rejuvenation in a Mediterranean Paradise
For those seeking a wellness retreat, the 1,800m² spa is a true temple of serenity. Overlooking the sea and mountains, it offers holistic treatments, physiotherapy, hammams, sauna, hydrotherapy and a carefully curated beauty menu with signature products such as Subtle Energies and 111Skin. A yoga studio, gym and meditation rooms also help to balance the mind and body.
Sustainability At the Heart: AI Technology & Data Driven
The resort also stands out for its commitment to sustainability, integrating smart technologies to monitor and reduce its environmental impact. An artificial intelligence-based system analyses food waste and adjusts ingredients in the kitchen, while every dish on the menu has an accurate measurement of its carbon footprint thanks to Foodsteps technology.
Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol is LEED certified aligned with its ambition to minimise its overall impact and ensure efficient consumption, innovation, and the best use of materials in its day-to-day operation.
World-Class Golf and Unparalleled Events
Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol’s exceptional location is further enhanced by its proximity to two renowned golf courses, including the famous La Hacienda Links Golf. This championship-standard 18-hole course offers players an exciting challenge with unrivalled views of the Mediterranean, making it the perfect setting for golf enthusiasts of all levels.
Additionally, the resort’s versatile event spaces, including a grand ballroom and expansive outdoor areas, make it an ideal destination for exclusive celebrations, corporate events, and weddings.
