Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol

Andalusia, Spain

A grand beachfront resort between Sotogrande and Gibraltar, with two Michelin-starred dining, 36 holes of championship golf and a genuinely comprehensive Kids and Teens Club running seven days a week

At a glance

Fairmont La Hacienda sits in an undiscovered corner of southern Spain, an all-suite-style resort with 150 rooms and 161 suites, and its own 47 private villas, overlooking the Mediterranean between the exclusive marina of Sotogrande and the historic town of San Roque. The resort captures Andalusia's vibrant spirit through five distinctive dining venues, and 1800 m² spa with panoramic sea and mountain views, and direct access to 36 holes of championship golf, all deeply rooted in the region's heritage.

Every one of the resort's rooms and suites is genuinely family-eligible: rooms sleep two adults and one child up to six on a sofa bed, while suites sleep two adults and two children, with flexible configurations for extra beds or shared parent beds. The resort runs a full weekly Kids Club and Teens Club programme, with dedicated activities running most days, making it a strong all-round choice for families who also want serious golf, dining and wellness on their doorstep.
