Located to the south of Marbella away from the sprawl of commercial resorts and 4-star high-rises, Finca Cortesín has become one of the Costa del Sol's premiere golf and spa resorts. Now, the 5-star resort property offers an elegant beach club located about a mile from the hotel along one of the poshest parts of Bahía de Casares beach. A beachfront compound of white painted buildings and low-slung shingle roof leads to a series of indoor and outdoor dining rooms with waterfront swimming pool surrounded in Balinese daybeds and loungers.
The Food
By day, a poolside-preening scene evolves with option for on the sand lounging. By afternoon, the lunch crowd moves onto the bar where a soft soundtrack of sultry lounge anthems serenades guests through sunset. Open for lunch and early dinner, the menu includes raw bar specialties in addition to salads of local greens and grilled meat or seafood dishes.
Last Word
Not the party pools you’re familiar with in Marbella, Finca Cortesín offers more of a grown-up country club scene that’s open to visiting hotel and restaurant guests.
