19 Best Hotels in Málaga, Costa del Sol’s Scenic Capital | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set against the reddish Sierra Bermeja near Casares, this exclusive five-star hideaway feels presidential—its manicured lawns and challenging 18-hole course (with a Jack Nicklaus training facility) complement amenities such as an on-site art gallery, a Romanesque spa with an indoor 82-foot pool, yoga shala, Bali-style outdoor pools, and 40 acres of gardens. I noted the culinary draw of Luis Olarra’s REI and the intricate tasting menu blending Japanese techniques with Spanish produce, plus elegant suites and villas styled by Anna and Cristina Calderón with Travertine marble baths and Penhaligon's toiletries; the Moroccan lounge is a standout architectural nod to the region’s past." - Marta Sader
