Moving up 16 spots from last year’s list, this 67-room favorite on Andalusia’s Costa del Sol has one of the country’s most highly regarded golf courses. But unsurprisingly, that’s not all: you’ll also find four pools, an expansive beach club, a collection of luxury boutiques, and more than five acres of gardens.
