OKU Andalusia is located on a secluded beach on Spain’s southern shore, with breathtaking views over the Spanish coast and Africa beyond. The brand’s second property in Spain will be the ultimate beachside retreat for adventurous spirits to explore the authentic charm of this Spanish region, nestled between Sotogrande, San Roque and the Los Alcornocales nature reserve. Spanning almost 10 hectares of lush meandering gardens, guests can enjoy multiple swimming pools, restorative spa and wellness facilities, and four dining venues, including an adults-only beach club open to guests and visitors with direct beachfront access on Playa de La Alcaidesa.
OKU Andalusia will mark the launch of OKU Hotels’ family-friendly concept, and the first in the family collection which is set to grow in the coming years. Deeply rooted in nature and traditions of the location, the children’s programme embraces Spanish finca life and discovery of the local land and ocean. Catering to babies through to 12 years, family-friendly areas are dotted throughout, integrating little ones in wellness and dining experiences, culminating in a spectacular kids club complex that features an adventure playground modelled on a Spanish farmhouse, a wet splash zone, shallow pool, and more. Teens can enjoy a dedicated hangout near the beach, where they can connect over bonfires and beach volleyball. Recognizing a space for a truly soulful yet luxurious offering in the family accommodation space, OKU has selected Andalusia for its first family-focused concept, within a local destination that lends itself perfectly to family experiences. Ensuring both parents and children alike are immersed in OKU’s authentic and laidback luxury spirit, OKU’s Kids Clubs will each be uniquely designed and inspired by their locale.
Offering 255 guest rooms including one private 4-bedroom villa, accommodation has been designed to showcase OKU’s signature beachside bohemian flair. Room options include terraced suites with private pools, roof terrace rooms with expansive ocean views, and two-bedroom suites for friends and families. The private villa at OKU Andalusia will be a 4-bedroom sanctuary tucked into the hill with uninterrupted ocean views, a private swimming pool and a stunning terrace area, perfect for groups looking for luxury, service and privacy in equal measure.
Respecting the reflective Japanese philosophy of OKU, wellbeing and self-connection is at the heart of the brand, with spa and wellness at the forefront of OKU Andalusia. The expansive 2,000m2 OKU Spa will be a haven to relax and revive, with an indoor pool, relaxation area, meditation courtyard, sauna, steam room, soul soothing treatment rooms, and state-of-the-art fitness studio. Guests can enjoy an open-air wellness space with a medicinal kitchen garden and yoga pavilion, whilst sports enthusiasts can enjoy four tennis courts, two padel courts, and a multi-sports pitch, with bucket list golf experiences available at various world-renowned courses within minutes of the hotel.
When it comes to dining, OKU Andalusia’s four venues will leave guests spoilt for choice as culinary excellence takes centre stage. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant flavours of Japan, Asia, and South America, OKU Restaurant, led by Executive Chef, Mark Vaessen, has crafted an inventive menu that promises a captivating culinary adventure in a buzzing evening destination. To Kima, OKU’s laidback, poolside restaurant will serve Mediterranean cuisine with an elegant Asian twist, offering a selection of sharing dishes all using the freshest local produce. The Terrace Bar and Restaurant will be the heart and soul of OKU Andalusia, where guests can start the day for breakfast, then congregate for long afternoons under the pergola enjoying the sunset. Meanwhile, OKU’s interconnected Beach Club will be an adults-only hideaway, with DJs, a beach bar, and an elegant produce-focussed dining experience. A rustic, toes-in-the-sand chiringuito style is given a natural elegance, and hotel guests and day visitors alike are invited to join the beachfront vibes and elevated cuisine.
