Nature’s Perfect Design

La Donaira is a conscious traveler’s dream hotel in the countryside. This luxury farm in the Andalucian hills is an all-inclusive eco-retreat for the whole family, and we’re sure you’ll want to stay forever.

Overview

Finca La Donaira is made up of just nine rooms, but the opportunities are endless. On La Donaira’s 1500 acre property, you can do anything, from horseback riding and bathing in natural springs, to exploring an organic medicinal garden or meditating over a bee bed. Head to the soil academy for one-on-one training in eco-friendly and regenerative agriculture to learn about the world beneath your feet (and on your plate). However, if you seek a more adventurous stay, fret not. La Donaira offers its visitors the chance to paraglide, hike, and horse-back ride over miles of rolling hills and plains.


Food and Land

La Donaira makes sustainable, luxurious, and adventurous travel easy. Its organic plantations, vineyards, and orchards are maintained by carefully protected herds of endangered cows, as well as mules, donkeys, and an in-house bred herd of Lusitanian horses. Most of the food served at La Donaira’s restaurant is produced on the estate, from peaches and apricots to eggs, bread, and honey. Farm to table dining combined biodynamic, organic, traditional, and innovative processes to put delicious, home-grown food on your plate. The creative menu showcases local flavors in conjunction with innovative culinary techniques. And, in true La Donaira--and GoodTrips--fashion, every dish is beautifully constructed and presented as well!


The Details

Simplicity, keen design, and sustainability are the hallmarks of Finca La Donaira. Every corner is designed with the harmony between tradition and modernity in mind. The rooms--beautiful and intentional--will make you want to stay all day. Organic, artisan-made soaps are coupled with locally constructed furniture, which generates beautiful, intelligent, and ecologically responsible living spaces.

The style is eclectic and creates a comfortable tension between simple and ornate, rustic and elegant, classic and contemporary, and what pulls it all together is the thoughtfulness and the heart behind each decision made at La Donaira. Enjoy a bath with views of the Andalusian hills, fresh flowers from the garden, and fantastic, local artworks from the comfort of your room. At La Donaira’s spa, you’ll find an icy plunge pool, massages with locally derived essential oils, a steaming hammam, and a beautiful Russian sauna.

Whether you’re in need of a romantic escape, free-spirited tourism, an adventure and activity filled trip to southern Spain, or a self-care getaway, La Donaira has it all. Bring your kids, bring your partner, or just bring yourself, and you’ll be sure to enjoy your stay.
