In addition, 51 villas will complete the accommodation offering, with 15 composed of 30 junior suites and 30 one-bedroom suites. The 36 remaining villas will be sold to third parties and will come complete with a private pool, living room and kitchen amenities.
The complex will also feature five restaurants and bars, including a pool bar and a beach restaurant, as well as swimming pools, spa, fitness centre, ballroom and a selection of flexible meeting rooms.
The resort offers two golf courses, the Heathland and Links, as well a clubhouse, halfway house with restaurant, driving range and practice area. Located in the Cadiz municipality of San Roque, close to Sotogrande, the gated golf and residential development will be set on 400 hectares on land with beachfront views of the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and Africa.
Javier Illán, president and CEO of Millenium Hospitality Real Estate, which owns La Hacienda, said: “We are proud that a globally recognised brand such as Fairmont has signed on to manage one of our properties, especially in one of the top luxury destinations in Spain. I am convinced that the future Fairmont Hotel will be a benchmark for luxury in Europe and, without a doubt, one of the assets with the greatest value potential of our portfolio.”
