La Bobadilla, a Royal Hideaway Hotel

With architecture reminiscent of a typical Andalusian village, the five-star La Bobadilla, a Royal Hideaway Hotel is striking. Just 67 spacious rooms, all with fine wood and marble and brick accents, house the fortunate guests who flock here for the natural beauty and the peace and quiet. The estate boasts its own Mediterranean chapel, flower-lined walkways and a luxurious 1,200-square-meter pool surrounded by palms. The spa is sublime, with its olive oil treatments and Finnish and Turkish saunas. Come evening, dine in one of two restaurants: La Finca for its creative cuisine or El Cortijo for its traditional Spanish offerings.
