Positioned as the gateway to the heart of Andalusia, the retreat lies just 15 minutes from Antequera’s AVE high-speed train station (straight to Madrid), 40 minutes from Málaga, and under one hour from the historic cities of Granada and Córdoba. Surrounded by rolling hills, Mediterranean woodland, and more than 2,000 ancient olive trees, Finca La Bobadilla offers an exceptional blend of deep rural serenity and convenient access to southern Spain’s richest cultural and natural experiences.
Interior design direction was led by Único’s in-house team, headed by Pilar García-Nieto. The renovation strengthens the estate’s deep connection to its landscape through a refined palette of natural materials - wicker, raffia, rattan, noble woods, and handcrafted ceramics sourced from local artisans. Warm neutral tones, textured wall finishes, preserved wooden beam ceilings, natural stone and terracotta-inspired flooring, and bespoke rugs inspired by traditional motifs, create warm and tactile interiors that feel both timeless and deeply rooted in place.
Guest rooms and suites now feature more generous proportions with improved spatial flow, residential-style seating areas, expansive terraces that blur indoor and outdoor living, natural textiles, and the “Horses” series by Xavier Guardans adds a distinctive artistic touch that reinforces the estate’s and region's strong equestrian heritage.
Public spaces have been thoughtfully refreshed for greater intimacy and calm, and the three signature restaurants have been completely redesigned and now come with gastronomic direction by acclaimed chef Óscar Velasco, with a strong focus on seasonal Andalusian produce and authentic local flavours, and further deepening its relationship with local producers and traditions.
The outdoor experience has been dramatically enhanced - the elegant Equestrian Centre, landscape design by acclaimed Rocío Sainz de Rozas - and the sports, wellbeing facilities and the Spas (one for adults and one for children) complete the rural retreat and sanctuary, serving as the Host of the Destination.
