NH Almenara Golf Hotel & Spa
Sotogrande, Spain
The majority of visitors to Spain's Costa del Sol region bed down in the ranks of high-rise hotel and apartment towers that line the sunny Mediterranean beaches of Andalusia. But there's nothing high-rise about the NH Almenara Golf Hotel & Spa, an elegant hideaway set among rolling green hills a few miles from the sea in Sotogrande. Built in the style of a traditional Andalusian villa, this tranquil 148-room resort is also home to one of the region's most appealing high-end spas.
The Almenara's Elysium Spa combines a modern fitness center with a full range of beauty and body care treatments, plus an outdoor swimming pool, a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam bath and whirlpool. The property also offers easy access to golf (including the exclusive Club de Golf Valderrama [link to golf article]), horseback riding, cycling and other outdoor sports in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
Accommodations range from around 147 to 265 euros (about $190 to $345) per night for comfortable rooms and suites with four-star amenities, buffet breakfast included.
