Finca La Bobadilla: Hotel in Andalusia, Spain
A white village surrounded by the landscapes of southern Spain
Set among the rolling hills of the Sierra de Loja, Finca La Bobadilla offers an immersive escape into one of Andalusia’s most unspoiled regions. Surrounded by more than 2,000 centuries-old olive trees, Mediterranean forests, and beautifully landscaped gardens, the estate enjoys a privileged location less than an hour from Málaga, Granada, and Córdoba. Here, nature defines the rhythm of every stay, where silence, sunlight, and open spaces become part of the experience.
Following a complete renovation led by Único Hotels, the property begins a new chapter while preserving the character that made it an icon of Spanish hospitality. Flower-filled courtyards, fountains, cobbled streets, and intimate squares recreate the atmosphere of an authentic Andalusian village. The redesign, led by interior designer Pilar García-Nieto, reinterprets the traditional cortijo through handcrafted ceramics, natural materials, warm woods, and a color palette inspired by the surrounding countryside.
Finca La Bobadilla features 73 rooms and suites, all thoughtfully redesigned to create a brighter, more residential atmosphere. Natural materials, linen and cotton textiles, custom-made furnishings, and generous windows overlooking the gardens, olive groves, or surrounding hills define each accommodation. Every room feels like an elegant country home where contemporary comfort blends effortlessly with authentic Andalusian character.
Dining is one of the highlights of the renewed experience. Under the culinary direction of Michelin-starred Chef Óscar Velasco, the hotel showcases the flavors of Andalusia through several distinctive venues. La Jara presents refined Andalusian cuisine in an adults-only setting, while El Cortijo celebrates generous dishes centered around wood-fired cooking and locally sourced ingredients. During the warmer months, El Mirador serves Mediterranean-inspired specialties beside the pool, and Bar La Plaza becomes the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif in a lively Andalusian atmosphere.
Wellness plays a central role thanks to the completely redesigned Flow Spa. Spanning more than 5,700 square feet, the spa includes two heated indoor pools, a Finnish sauna, a steam room, sensory showers, treatment rooms for individuals and couples, and a beauty salon. Signature treatments feature Natura Bissé products, while yoga sessions, wellness retreats, and a new outdoor fitness area complete the holistic experience.
Beyond the hotel itself, the estate invites guests to discover Andalusia through a wide variety of experiences. Horseback riding, a private lake, vegetable gardens, tennis, padel, pickleball, hiking trails, and cycling routes allow visitors to explore the property’s 865 acres. Olive oil tastings, cultural excursions, and visits to the famous white villages reveal another side of southern Spain.
With its iconic architecture, thoughtful renovation, and contemporary vision of luxury hospitality, Finca La Bobadilla has reclaimed its place among Andalusia’s finest luxury hotels. A destination where heritage, nature, and the Spanish art of living come together to create a truly memorable escape.
