The architecture of Finca Cortesin, designed by the acclaimed Roger Torras and Ignacio Sierra, echoes the classic style of an Andalusian ‘finca’ or rural estate. The design revolves around two main courtyards of grand proportions, hosting 67 suites that feature lofty ceilings up to four meters and sizes ranging from 538 to 1938 square feet. The design brings a fresh and expansive feel that draws inspiration from traditional Spanish elements, enhanced by the landscape architect Gerald Huggan and interior design by Ana and Cristina Calderón for the suites, spa, and beach club. The public areas were designed by Duarte Pinto Coelho, who chose a range of antiques and period furniture.
The accommodations include Junior Suites, Executive Suites, Pool Suites, and the expansive Cortesin Suite, each designed with unique features and luxurious amenities.
