Condé Nast Traveler, UK calls this Spanish country estate one of the smartest places to escape to.  Set in the rolling hills of southern Spain between Marbella and Sotogrande, this luxurious finca is flanked by the Casares Mountains with sweeping views of the Mediterranean.  Whilst you may feel perfectly lost in the property's palatial proportions hidden in undisturbed nature, you're conveniently central to the Málaga airport, and even closer to Gibraltar.  Imagine yourself slipping into the resort's 25m heated salt-water swimming pool (pictured above) after one of my very favorite VIP perks to offer: a complimentary massage.

Private Perks: 50-minute massage per adult, complimentary daily breakfast for two, early check-in and late check-out, complimentary upgrade, and more.
