El Cortijo de los Caballos: Your Andalusian Oasis

Set amidst the sun-drenched hills near the picturesque village of Benahavís, El Cortijo de los Caballos offers an enchanting fusion of rustic Andalusian charm and modern comfort—making it one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Marbella.

Lovingly restored from an original equestrian center, this unique private villa features 14 beautifully appointed bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) and exudes a relaxed, tropical oasis atmosphere. Enveloped by lush palm trees, vibrant flower beds, and emerald lawns, the Cortijo promises total tranquility for those wishing to escape the bustle of the nearby Costa del Sol.

The estate’s layout is perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. Imagine saying your vows in the secluded Ceremonial Garden, a tucked-away haven filled with fragrant blooms and shaded nooks. Whether you choose a traditional ceremony beneath the white gazebo or a more organic approach under the magnificent rubber tree, you’ll be surrounded by the gentle hum of nature and the soft Spanish breeze. Afterward, move seamlessly to the pool bar area for a cocktail hour where guests can mingle around the lagoon-style swimming pool, its shimmering waters reflecting the Andalusian sky. At dusk, dine beneath the stars on the expansive lawn that can accommodate up to 120 guests for a formal wedding feast.

By nightfall, the property transforms into a magical setting alive with thousands of twinkling fairy lights, lanterns, and candles. The main terrace, complete with a covered dance floor, marquee, and indoor lounge, invites you to dance into the early hours against a backdrop of soft Mediterranean breezes. Each of the villa’s casitas opens directly onto the lush grounds, offering the convenience of on-site accommodations as well as a scenic location for post-wedding brunches or laid-back barbeques. With the golden beaches of the Costa del Sol just minutes away, and Marbella’s famed nightlife easily within reach, El Cortijo de los Caballos strikes the perfect balance between serene retreat and vibrant destination.

Whether you’re planning a luxurious celebration, a corporate retreat, or a family gathering, the dedicated team at El Cortijo de los Caballos ensures every detail is impeccably managed. From curating a sublime wedding-day menu to arranging music and décor, they’ll help bring your vision to life beneath the Andalusian sun.
