Finca Cortesin Hotel and Golf Club Includes Expansive and Deluxe Wellness Center
Bringing luxury and style to the Costa del Sol, Finca Cortesin is one of Europe's newest luxury boutique hotels and resorts. The hotel itself is designed with typical red clay tile roofs with a distinct Andalusian influence featuring Moorish inspired graceful interior courtyards and fountains. Adding to the already tranquil setting, the hotel now proudly debuts a 23,000 square-foot world-class spa that is sure to be recognized as one of the finest in all of Europe. The deluxe resort is perfectly situated just 45 minutes west of Malaga and offers stunning views over the Mediterranean Sea to North Africa.
The spa is a striking Zen-like sanctuary defined by a contemporary design utilizing warm earth tones to create a soothing environment at this wellness temple. Dedicated to relaxation, beauty and well-being, the spa includes six spacious treatment rooms. A secluded double suite features a large soaking tub, two showers and massage beds — perfect for sharing the ultimate spa experience. Three thermal areas (exclusive men's, women's, and mix) each offer their own relaxation quarters including sauna and Turkish hamam to complete this tranquil haven.
Boasting Spain's only Snow Cave, the Spa at Finca Cortesin provides an unexpected take on the Finnish spa tradition where wellness enthusiasts roll in the snow after a hot sauna. This technique refreshes the lungs and respiratory system to boost immune defenses and increase the body's oxygen production. Dipping to lows of 10°F, the cave presents a unique alternative to a refreshing plunge pool.
A company known for its natural, high potency products, Biologique Recherche, offers a varied menu of facial and body treatments. Expert therapists will guide guests through the extensive choices to create a customized experience and deliver optimal benefits. Those seeking to hydrate and calm the skin can opt for the Wheat Vital Facial, a therapy that oxygenates and increases the skin's response to treatments and products. The Jet Lag Body Massage relieves stress and works to achieve total relaxation through long and gentle strokes, while gradually inducing a powerful sense of tranquility that helps align body and soul. Menu prices range from 55 Euros for a 25-minute Relaxing Massage, to 300 Euros for a 75-minute high-tech Cellular Regenerating corporal treatment that helps repair the skin.
Guests seeking an early morning workout can head to the spa's indoor 114-foot heated pool filled with abundant natural light overlooking the gardens and Finca Cortesin's 18-hole championship caliber golf course. Guests wanting to take advantage of the Costa del Sol's perfect weather will enjoy two outdoor pools, one Olympic in length, offering swimmers sweeping views of the Mediterranean while taking their daily laps. Alternatively, guests can follow a traditional workout regimen in the state-of-the-art fitness center.
Whether watching your waistline or simply ready to take the plunge into an exciting gustatory experience, diners can satisfy their palette at one of two restaurants. Dutch Chef Schilo Van Coevorden's fine dining "Restaurant Schilo", serves Asian-Fusion dishes and "El Jardin" restaurant offers Spanish Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed and sophisticated setting. For those desiring an al fresco experience, the poolside eatery offers individual paellas, mezzes, and tapas, along with traditional barbeque fare. With multiple outdoor patios, you may choose to relax in the Indian Salon with a refreshing fruit drink. Alternatively, you can enjoy a glass of traditional mint tea in the Moroccan Salon set within the Andalusian interior courtyard, complete with fountains tuned by the same expert hands that are caretakers of those at the Alhambra.
