Doñana National Park remains Andalucia’s epicentre for cowboy culture, and rustic cortijo Kukutana is your noble steed for discovering this centuries-old community. Experienced riders can gallop across wild terrain, and novices will get their fair share of fun on romantic horse-drawn carriage rides. Daily outdoorsy activities, such as hiking and cycling, plus all farm-fresh meals and return transfers from Seville are included with your stay — all you need to do is practise pronouncing ¡arre! (giddy up).

Our favourite rooms

The interiors at this country-house hotel are oh-so-Andalucian, with rustic, wooden furnishings, limewashed walls and pops of vibrant colour adorning each bedroom. It takes two to tango, and the same can be said for Flamenco, Kukutana's one-of-a-kind room. If you’re travelling with many amigos, book out the entire hotel as your private pad, sleeping 14 across seven bedrooms.

Poolside

Shaded by oak and pine trees, Kukutana’s outdoor pool is a leafy, peaceful spot for cooling dips, sunlounger-bound siestas and admiring the flower-scented grounds.

Packing tips

An equestrian streak — but you can leave your spurs behind.

Pet‐friendly

Pets are welcome at Kukutana on request, but they'll sleep elsewhere in the house, not in your room. See more pet-friendly hotels in Seville Province.

Children

The hotel only welcomes children if you’re booking it out exclusively, in which case free baby cots can be added to rooms, babysitting is available and children aged three to 13 stay on a reduced rate (over-14s are considered adults).

Sustainability efforts

Kukutana keeps its footprint light with a zero-plastic approach, responsible energy and water consumption, and recycling initiatives. Seasonal ingredients are sourced from local farmers and producers, plus meals are prepared daily and in small batches to minimise waste; any excess is turned into compost or animal feed. The estate fosters biodiversity through the planting and protection of native species, and sticks to low-impact, nature-based activities.

Food and Drink

Top Table

It's come one, come all in the dining room. Ask staff to pack your lunch to-go for a romantic, private picnic.

Dress Code

It may feel like home, but this rustic country house is still deserving of something more put-together than your pyjamas. 

Hotel restaurant

There’s a home-away-from-home feel at Kukutana that is added to by having all meals and house drinks included with your stay. Owner Lourdes’ love for cooking filters down into the kitchen team, who are armed with her family’s recipes to transform produce from the garden and from local suppliers into fresh, nourishing plates of traditional Spanish fare. You’ll take most of your meals in a convivial dining room, but snacks and lunches can also be packed as picnics if you’d like to eat alfresco.

Hotel bar

There's nothing as formal as a bar, but cosy, communal spaces throughout the hotel make for tempting aperitivo spots; after dinner, your hosts might invite you for a sociable drink in the fire-warmed living room. 

Last orders

Meal times vary, but typically you'll have breakfast all together at 8.30am, lunch is at 1.30pm, and dinner is around 8pm.

Other

If you’d prefer to chopper in, the nearest helipad is at Airdrome La Juliana, a 35-minute private transfer away from Kukutana.

Worth getting out of bed for

Plenty of arcadian pursuits are included with your stay at Kukutana, and you’ll get to pick one each day to enjoy. Neighbouring Doñana National Park is your playground for guided driving tours, private treks or birdwatching excursions. Borrow electric bikes to whizz through rural landscapes; trot by horse-drawn carriage to a meadow-set picnic or around frozen-in-time town El Rocío, or take the reins yourself on various horseback riding trails on the estate or to further-afield beaches (exact itineraries will depend on the season and your experience level).  

For an authentic taste of Andalucia, staff can arrange visits to local wineries, tastings of their own olive oil and Spanish cooking workshops. There are also several golf clubs nearby; opportunities for cultural day-trips to Seville, Córdoba and Granada, and you’ll find an unspoilt stretch of beach a 35-minute drive away between Matalascañas and Mazagón, ideal for swimming and coastal walks.  

Local restaurants

Given Kukutana’s remote setting and all-inclusive dining, you’re unlikely to eat outside of the hotel during your stay. Seville and its storied eateries are an hour’s drive away if you fancy a food-centric road trip.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this country-house hotel in Andalucia and unpacked their jodhpurs and riding boots, a full account of their rural break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Kukutana in Seville Province… 
 
Kukutana may be named after the Swahili for ‘encounter’, but this bucolic boutique hotel is otherwise deeply rooted in Andalucia. Its restored cortijo (farmhouse) was built over a century ago and has been the Llorente family residence since 1988. 

A white, terracotta-tiled façade gives way to rustic interiors that pay homage to Seville’s culture and design. The hotel’s orange-tree-scented grounds create a verdant blur with the Doñana landscape beyond — the backdrop for fresh-air-filled pursuits, such as hikes or driving tours, that are part of your stay.  

Regardless of your equestrian experience, you’ll want to meet Kukutana’s horses, a collection of native and international breeds, who accompany advanced riders on beachfront hacks and novices on carriage tours around El Rocío. 

Return transfers from Seville are included in rates, as are all your farm-to-table, Andalucian meals, served in a convivial dining room — you never know what connections you might chance upon.
