Between the turn-down service, crisp linen sheets and languorous breakfasts, a five-star stay is inherently restorative. Of course, the most salutary of sojourns are at hotels where wellness is central, like the sun-dappled SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort in Cadiz.

This March, the five-star hotel introduced its new wellness concept rooted in its surroundings, where the Atlantic Ocean and native plants shape an experience focused on recovery, prevention and long-term wellbeing. And now, SPHERE readers can experience it for themselves.

The Hotel

In keeping with its coastal Mediterranean spirit, each room in the hotel is airy and contemporary. As ever, the crème de la crème are the suites, which come with a private terrace granting views of the lush garden or azure seascape. There’s a real sense of Spanish bohemia throughout the hotel – be it in the whitewashed walls, artistic décor and emphasis on local craftsmanship.

Guests need not travel far for a good meal as there’s not one but three restaurants on site. For timeless Andalusian delicacies, Cortijo Santa María 1962 offers the perfect tribute. Located on the historic site of the original farmhouse that stood there before Sotogrande was established, Michelin Star Chef Nicolas Isnard presents a menu highlighting the region's rich culinary heritage. Marxa Chiringuito, on the other hand, is a more vibrant choice with a five-metre orange and lemon wood-burning barbecue and live DJ sets to boot. Last but certainly not least, there’s Society – all-day dining for comfort food or your favourite snacks to go.

The Spa

The hotel’s true crowning glory lies in its spa and wellness offering. Grounded in the Cádiz coastline, salt is the common thread between treatments and experiences. These include a hydrothermal circuit, hammam, sauna, and facial and body rituals designed to promote deep relaxation, skin renewal and physical and mental balance.

Among the most distinctive experiences at SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort is the Salt Ritual, a signature treatment unique in the world, created with kilometre-zero ingredients. The ritual combines a carefully designed sequence of steam bathing, exfoliation, body wrap and massage using locally sourced sea salt, tailored to the specific needs of the body.
