It is home to a Beach Club and a stylish Kids Club, perfect for families with younger children. Sotogrande and its Valderrama Golf Club are a mere 10-minute drive away.

A Wide Array Of Accommodations

The Spa And Sports Club

Modern travellers seek wellness getaways where they can boost their health and fitness while catching the best a local city or town has to offer, and the OKU Andalusia certainly delivers in this respect. Its 2,000 m² spa features an indoor pool and hammam, as well as a meditation courtyard connected to a stunning wellness garden where workshops are offered.

Guests can partake in personal training, sports camps, and many other activities. Of course, there are numerous top-rated golf courses nearby for those wishing to spend a day on the greens.

Culinary Temptations

Guests can enjoy the goodness of local produce and international flavours at numerous on-site dining establishments. Food is crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and there is something for everyone, whether you’re an à la carte diner, enjoying a half-board stay, or visiting from outside the hotel. Start your day at The Terrace, the central courtyard restaurant and bar, which serves nourishing breakfasts, as well as snacks and refreshments throughout the day. The Beach Club, with its toes-in-the-sand charm, is an exclusive hideaway where you can sip on refreshing drinks and savour freshly grilled meat and fish dishes served alongside delicacies such as blistered padrón peppers, tender ceviche, and more. The resort’s signature destination dining concept, Teyo, takes diners on a mouthwatering culinary journey, inspired by the flavours of Asia (in particular, Japan) and South America. Open exclusively for dinner, it offers hotel guests and outside visitors delectable fusion cuisine at its finest. To Kima, the poolside restaurant, serves an all-day menu inspired by island flavours. Finally, the Pool Bar is the perfect spot to pause for a refreshing juice, cocktail, or light snack.

The OKU is also a hotel that respects the slow living philosophy and prioritises sustainability. State-of-the-art sensors, cogeneration equipment, solar power, modern irrigation, and water diversion systems are just some of the technologies it has invested in to reduce its carbon footprint. It sounds like the perfect place for a dip in the pool, a fantastic dinner, or an unforgettable spa experience!
