Wine & Dine
- Under the steady hand of Chef Guillermo Mendez, who has been with the hotel for almost three decades, they champion both Mediterranean cuisine and wine from a burgeoning local scene. While the hotel’s fine-dining options include the romantic El Olivo, you can also choose to take it easy over tapas at Café Miró. Named after the celebrated Spanish artist, you’ll find 33 of his works adorning the walls.
- Their housemade olive oil is served throughout the restaurants and incorporated into treatments in the award-winning spa.
Art

Visit the studio of Alan Hydes, the resident painter, for an art class. Or create something three-dimensional with resident sculptor Juan Waelder. Their bi-annual art competition supports emerging artisans from the community. It’s this kind of commitment to their environment that has led locals to call them La Res.
