This Japanese-centred fine dining experience is a gastronomical marvel. Set in the majestic Finca Cortesin resort in Marbella, the chefs are not shy about incorporating local-sourced Mediterranean ingredients, like their endless supply of fresh fish, into their menus.

The Blue Bar is Finca Cortesin's resident hotel lounge and bar whose unique ambience and decor is the perfect backdrop to an evening of relaxation with a cocktail and tapas. 

Though a short drive away from Sotogrande, we could not resist adding Finca Cortesin to our guide. So much more than just a golf and spa resort, this hotel embodies luxury. From the interiors finished with marble and the Andalusian avant-garde architecture, tradition is blended with modernism - it is simply mesmerising. 

The Finca Cortesin resort has its own exclusive Beach Club with plenty of facilities that make your stay worthwhile. Guests can have cocktails by the infinity pool, or a Mediterranean lunch in their lush gardens. Guests can get to the Beach Club from the Finca Cortesin by shuttle bus!
