OKU Andalusia - New Hotel on the Costa del Sol, Spain

A Hidden Coastal Address Between Sea and Hills

OKU Andalusia is located in La Alcaidesa on Spain’s southern shore, between Sotogrande, San Roque, and the protected landscapes of Los Alcornocales Natural Park. The setting feels both wild and polished, with golden beaches, rolling hills, elite golf estates, and sweeping views toward Gibraltar and North Africa. Unlike the louder corners of Marbella, this pocket of the Costa del Sol offers a more discreet rhythm. Days move between beach walks, yacht excursions, whitewashed villages, and long lunches beneath the sun.

The First Family Resort by OKU Hotels

Already known for cult-favorite openings in Ibiza and Kos, OKU Hotels chose Andalusia for its first family-friendly concept, while preserving the soulful, design-led identity that made the brand successful. OKU Andalusia officially opened in July 2025. The concept blends barefoot luxury with multigenerational travel: stylish adults-only areas coexist with one of the brand’s most ambitious children’s clubs and family experiences. This is not a traditional family resort. It is a lifestyle hotel where parents and children are equally considered.

Earthy Architecture & Wabi-Sabi Design

The architecture follows OKU’s instantly recognizable aesthetic: low-rise volumes, organic materials, open-air circulation, and interiors shaped by light and texture. Expect earthy linens, raw woods, hand-finished stone, sculptural ceramics, and a palette of sand, clay, olive, and sun-bleached neutrals. Contemporary lines meet Mediterranean softness, creating spaces that feel minimalist yet warm. The entire resort is designed to blur indoors and outdoors, allowing sea breezes, sunlight, and landscape to become part of the décor.

255 Rooms, Suites & a Private Villa

OKU Andalusia features 255 rooms and suites, plus a standalone four-bedroom private villa for guests seeking complete seclusion. Accommodation ranges from Classic Garden and Sea View rooms to Roof Terrace rooms with panoramic vistas, expansive one-bedroom suites, private pool suites, and two-bedroom residences ideal for families or groups. Many categories include oversized terraces, separate lounges, or private pools. Inside, the atmosphere is serene and tactile, where natural materials and calm proportions invite guests to slow down completely.

Destination Dining & Sunset Energy

Food and drink play a central role in the OKU lifestyle. Guests can move between several venues, including the signature Teyo restaurant with Japanese-inspired fusion cuisine, To Kima for relaxed Mediterranean poolside dining, a central terrace bar, and an adults-only beach club with DJs and sunset cocktails. The culinary mood shifts elegantly throughout the day: wellness breakfasts in the morning, long seafood lunches under the sun, then vibrant evenings shaped by music, candlelight, and ocean air.

Spa, Sports Club & Slow Wellness

Wellbeing is elevated through a 2,000 sqm spa featuring an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, relaxation areas, meditation courtyard, and treatment rooms. A state-of-the-art fitness studio complements the experience, while a separate sports club offers tennis, padel, multi-sport courts, and golf access nearby. Families benefit from a highly curated kids’ club, while adults can retreat to quieter pools, yoga sessions, or beachside calm.

A New Generation of Costa del Sol Luxury

OKU Andalusia captures the evolution of southern Spain: less ostentatious, more refined, more connected to nature and design. It offers the glamour of the Costa del Sol without cliché, pairing style with substance and energy with stillness. For travelers seeking Mediterranean sun with a contemporary soul, this is where Andalusia feels most current.
