Fairmont is renowned for its extraordinary culinary offerings, and Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol is no exception. The resort will feature five distinct dining venues, each offering a unique gastronomic experience. A highlight for gourmets will be the resort’s signature restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Benito Gómez, while more relaxed options such as the poolside bistro celebrate the region’s fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

As the day progresses, guests can feel the rhythm change at the resort’s vibrant private beach club which transforms into a lively evening spot, with DJs setting the tone as the sun goes down. The beach club menu will feature seaside favorites and shareable dishes served at large wooden tables, with a continuous flow of refreshing beverages and inventive cocktails. The special dishes will include a contemporary take on the “espeto”, a traditional specialty from Málaga, where fish, typically sardines, are roasted over firewood in a boat filled with beach sand.
