Although primarily an equestrian resort for horse riding enthusiasts, La Donaira is also the perfect couples retreat. The interiors are something out of a rustic holiday catalogue. The people are so friendly, and since it is an eco-resort, they are more than happy to explain various aspects of how the resort works.

The view from across the property is stunning and it is designed to give you an experience of being immersed in nature – particularly the pool & spa which boast an amazing view of the sunset.

We are vegetarians and La Donaira was our favorite culinary experience in all of Spain. The chef made us gourmet vegetarian meals each day, including a vegetarian lentil moussaka unlike anything we’ve ever had before (or ever again). They also have a great collection of natural wines from around Europe and a medicinal herb garden.
