Imagine you’re on holiday on the gorgeous Spanish Costa del Sol. You might be struggling to decide what to do with your day – rest and relax at your hotel spa, or go out and admire the scenic views of the clear blue waves? Fortunately, it’s a decision you may never have to make now that Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol has announced the opening of its new spa, the first in the region to encompass breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and a majestic mountainous landscape.
The 1,800 square metre luxury spa aims to offer a sanctuary for guests to experience the elements of nature come together in harmony. With every corner having been curated with relaxation and rejuvenation in mind, it provides the ultimate setting to recharge and reconnect with the natural world around.
Designed to reflect the calming ebb of the Mediterranean tides, the spa is bathed in natural light and follows a soothing palette of neutral tones, minimalistic design and organic textures. The subdued lighting and mineral-rich environment creates a tranquil atmosphere where guests can unwind and disconnect from their external stresses.
Treatments and facilities
The spa offers a comprehensive range of treatments which have been tailored to enhance wellbeing and rejuvenate spirit. From experiences inspired by natural elements to expert manicures and pedicures, there are a range of special services to choose from. A few highlights include hydrotherapy facilities for hot and cold immersion pools, as well as high power jet whirlpools, a sauna, a steam room and a Turkish bath.
For guests eager to keep up their fitness, there is a dedicated indoor yoga studio and an additional yoga terrace, alongside a cardio lounge for more holistic exercises. Rejuvenation does not have to mean lying down all day – keeping your body moving can be an effective way to self care.
If your version of relaxation does not involve getting your heart racing, skincare might be a more appealing way to take care of your body. There are plenty of unique facial treatments offered by the natural skincare brand Subtle Energies, including a 24k gold age-defying facial, an advanced antioxidant facial, and a pomegranate enzyme facial. Facials by 111SkinCare, a doctor-formulated celebrity-approved skincare line, include a celestial black diamond non-surgical lift facial and a depuffing energy facial with cryo globes. Facials are priced from €125 for 50 minutes and go up to €209 for longer and more premium services.
A signature style of treatment involves embarking on a two hour “journey” which focuses on rejuvenation, restoration, detox and adrenal boosting. These journeys encompass full body exfoliation as well as aromatherapy and deep massages designed to release tension and restore balance in the body. The treatments prices start from €120 for a 50 minute restorative aromatic massage and €100 for a scrub treatment.
Hotel
Situated on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia, Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol opened its doors earlier this year. Only an hour away from Málaga, 30 minutes from Marbella and 20 minutes from Gibraltar airport, the resort is conveniently located for a relaxing Spanish getaway.
With a focus on culinary experience, a world-class golf complex and a brand new luxury spa, the hotel blends Spanish tradition with contemporary luxury. Despite its newness, it has already been featured in Conde Nast Traveller’s prestigious Hot List of the best new hotels for 2025. It encompasses a combination of spacious rooms, suites and villas, all with views of the sea, the golf courses or the hotel pool.
