The Top 3 Hotels Near The St. Regis La Bahia Blanca Resort, Tamuda Bay
-
St. Regis doing a barefoot-luxury resort on Morocco's Tamuda Bay is exactly as good as it sounds. The white riad-style architecture basically disappears against the sky so all you see is turquoise water, which is the whole point. A hundred rooms and suites lean into modern Moroccan style without being fussy about it. Multiple restaurants and a full spa mean you won't actually have to leave the grounds, and you probably won't want to.

A Forbes Four Star resort on the Costa del Sol that actually earns the label, sitting where the mountains meet the Mediterranean in a way that makes you feel slightly smug about your life choices. It looks like a whitewashed Andalusian village, the spa has a Moorish hammam, there's golf, and the seafood restaurant is genuinely good. The crowd is quietly wealthy and well-traveled, here to be left alone in comfort.

A Forbes four-star country estate sprawled across the hills above the Costa del Sol, Finca Cortesin does the whole Andalusian fantasy properly, whitewashed walls, jasmine-draped courtyards, and staff who treat you like landed gentry. The spa, the golf, the private beach club, and two serious restaurants keep you busy enough to justify staying put for days. The crowd wears linen and means it.
