Also
The undulating olive plantation and sun-worshipping vineyards were designed and positioned to maximise the natural benefits of the nearby Atlantic and the refreshing ocean winds that breeze across the land, in contrast to the high summer temperatures. Luz’s homegrown olive oil is a unique blend of coratina and arbequina olives: resulting in an oil that’s incredibly fruity and aromatic.

Our favourite rooms
All rooms are decorated with calm colours and soft lines, taking inspiration from traditional Moroccan architecture. Rustic, charming and sophisticated – the luxurious rooms have everything you need (soft linens, reading benches, open wardrobes and super king-size beds), and nothing you don’t – and each space has a unique view of the surrounding sea of pines, olive groves and vineyards from its private terrace. Choose a studio for extra space, and an uber-indulgent free-standing tub in your marble bathroom.
Poolside
Take a walk through the pine forest to the piscina – a heated infinity pool with views of the estate. White stone flooring and ruby red loungers complement the wood, straw and rattan of the pool building and gin bar (strategically placed so that you can sip then swim, swim then sip). There’s a sand garden with Moroccan-inspired beanbags, bar stools under boho-style lanterns, and a cabana-style seating area providing shade from the South American sun.
Spa
There’s a singular treatment room housed in the pool building, where you can choose a bespoke treatment – massages, facials and the like – from a treatment list inspired by Swiss wellbeing practises. In the next room you’ll find Flintstone-esque exercise equipment – hand-made leather-coated kettlebell weights, yoga mats and rustic weights – to be taken to your favourite patch of land in the estate and used at your leisure.
Packing tips
Brush up on your wine-wisdom pre-arrival. We think these phrases might come in handy: ‘balanced’, ‘full-bodied’, ‘mature’, and ‘I'll take the whole bottle’.
Children
Kids over the age of 10 are welcome at Luz, and babysitting can be arranged, although prices vary depending on demand and time of year.
Sustainability efforts
Live a truly local experience at Luz: locally sourced ingredients, wines and materials are used throughout the hotel – part of the owners’ mission to promote social and economic sustainability. Nature is prioritised, too – note how well looked after the pine forests, olive groves and vineyards are.
