Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol, inaugurated in February 2025, has quickly established itself as a new benchmark for hospitality in southern Europe and as one of the most exclusive destinations for golfers worldwide.
Just one hour from Málaga, 30 minutes from Marbella, and 20 minutes from Gibraltar Airport, Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol combines accessibility with exclusivity. It is more than a resort: it is a destination where championship golf, seafront living, culinary excellence, and holistic wellness converge.
Golf with infinite views
One of the greatest assets is two championship golf courses next to the resort, including the acclaimed La Hacienda Links Golf, recognized by the World Golf Awards as one of Spain’s very best. This 18-hole links course runs parallel to the sea, delivering a challenge as inspiring as it is demanding. Each shot is framed by breathtaking vistas stretching from the Rock of Gibraltar across to the Moroccan coastline, making it a golfing stage unlike any other in Europe.
Thanks to southern Andalusia’s mild year-round climate, golf can be enjoyed in every season, with over 300 days of sunshine annually. It is, without a doubt, a paradise for golfers of all levels who want to experience the sport at its purest, in a setting that blends challenge with beauty.
Seafront setting with direct beach access
Located in a privileged enclave, the resort sits right on the Mediterranean, with direct access to La Alcaidesa beach, a sweeping four-kilometre stretch of golden sand crowned by the historic Punta Carbonera lighthouse. This seafront location not only enhances the golfing experience but also makes Fairmont La Hacienda an exceptional place to unwind, reconnect, and savour the essence of the Andalusian coast.
Villas, suites, and Fairmont hospitality
Fairmont La Hacienda offers 153 rooms and 161 suites—the most spacious in the region— along with 47 private villas with pools, designed as havens of privacy and exclusivity. Inspired by the whitewashed villages of Andalusia, the resort’s architecture blends seamlessly with the landscape, while interiors reflect Mediterranean warmth through natural materials, soft tones, and the craftsmanship of local artisans.
True to Fairmont’s worldwide reputation, every detail is designed to create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, ensuring guests enjoy an experience that is as sophisticated as it is authentic.
Culinary excellence
The resort also stands out for its world-class dining. At the forefront is Dalmar, led by two- Michelin-starred chef Benito Gómez, whose cuisine celebrates Andalusian produce with creativity and finesse. Complementing this flagship are several other venues, from the Mediterranean flair of Umbra to the vibrant social spirit of El Faro, each with its own character yet all defined by quality and authenticity.
A new 1,800 m² sea-facing spa
After a round on the course, golfers can recharge at the resort’s brand-new, 1,800-square-metre spa, opened in September 2025. The only spa in the region with panoramic views of both the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains, it is a sanctuary designed around natural light, organic textures, and soothing tones.
The spa features hydrotherapy pools, contrast baths, hammams, sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, dedicated yoga and fitness studios, and a wide range of treatments. From restorative massages and scrubs to advanced facials by Subtle Energies and 111SkinCare, every experience is curated to balance body and mind —a perfect complement for golfers seeking recovery and wellbeing after an intense day on the fairways.
