Cabell B. Robinson designed the Finca Cortesin golf course to follow the contours of the estate. Wide fairways run between olive trees, with bunkers protecting the approaches and coastal views opening beyond the greens. The course hosted the Volvo World Match Play Championship in 2009, 2011 and 2012, followed by the Solheim Cup in 2023, the first staging of that event in Spain.

The hole-by-hole layout has some distinctive details. The 10th green takes the shape of a guitar, against views of Sierra Bermeja. Native wild olive trees surround the 13th, a par four. Elsewhere, water hazards and sloping greens add variety to a round across the rolling terrain.

At the Nicklaus Academy, instruction ranges from private lessons for beginners to on-course coaching and clinics for experienced players. The Jack Nicklaus Coaching Studio uses Swing Catalyst video and balance-plate analysis alongside a Foresight GCQuad launch monitor. Club fitting is also available. Lessons can therefore address a particular part of your game, with video, movement and ball-flight information supporting the instructor's observations.

El Jardín de Lutz serves Spanish cooking shaped by chef Lutz Bösing, using locally sourced ingredients and a contemporary approach to traditional flavors. Its terrace looks across old olive trees toward the Mediterranean. Breakfast is also served here, giving this garden-facing restaurant a place in the hotel from the beginning of the day.

At REI, the open kitchen brings chef Luis Olarra's work into view. The menu combines traditional Asian dishes with Mediterranean influences, drawing on seafood and organic produce from the estate's vegetable garden. Don Giovanni follows a different culinary tradition: Sicilian chef Andrea Tumbarello brings Italian cooking to the hotel, with recipes rooted in the country's established food culture.

The Blue Bar occupies the hotel lounge, with colorful interiors, a Moroccan lounge, an intimate bar and a spacious terrace. Spanish tapas, light bites, teas and cocktails suit its informal setting. These connected spaces give you a choice of an indoor seat, a place at the bar or a table outside.

The Clubhouse Restaurant stands at the golf course entrance, a few minutes' walk from the hotel. Its terrace overlooks the course and sea, and the menu includes salads, sandwiches, pasta and burgers. Beside the hotel's 35-meter pool, Pool 35 serves Mediterranean dishes cooked to order using a Josper grill and Monolith Kamado. Open-air tables overlook the gardens, with grilled food at the center of the menu.

The 2,200-square-meter spa contains a heated indoor saltwater pool, thermal baths and treatment rooms. There are ten individual treatment rooms and one double room; four rooms are dedicated to traditional Thai treatments. Biologique Recherche and Seed to Skin Tuscany appear in the facial and body treatment selection. The massage menu includes Thai, Balinese and deep-tissue treatments, alongside personalized facials and body scrubs.

ARANI Yoga and Meditation Center occupies a hilltop setting with views toward the mountains and Mediterranean. Practices include Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga, with private sessions available. The fitness room has high ceilings, garden views and Technogym equipment. Personal trainers can arrange individual exercise sessions, including Pilates. Tennis and padel courts sit outdoors among the gardens; court rental and individual or group lessons are available, along with floodlit court sessions.

Finca Cortesin Beach Club is separate from the main hotel, directly on Bahía de Casares beach. The 6,000-square-meter grounds contain a 35-meter infinity pool, gardens, Balinese beds and sun loungers, with direct access to the sand from the club. A hotel shuttle connects the two locations.

The Beach Club restaurant faces the shore and serves Mediterranean cooking, including seafood, paella and salads. Its beachfront tables and poolside setting bring the sea into the experience. The pool here is distinct from the hotel's own outdoor pool, so a visit involves leaving the main estate for the coast.

The concierge arranges family activities around the sea, countryside and local culture. The wider selection includes sailing, horseback riding, cycling and scenic hikes, as well as tennis and golf lessons. Visits to Casares Cheese Farm, local wineries and white villages introduce the surrounding region. Cooking and cocktail workshops are also part of the experience selection, with arrangements tailored to the group.

The hotel is on Carretera de Casares, within reach of Estepona, Marbella and Sotogrande by road. Málaga and Gibraltar airports are the established air gateways. The concierge can arrange transfers and coordinate restaurant reservations, spa appointments and golf tee times before arrival. Casares and the nearby coast provide further places to explore during a longer stay in Andalusia.
