Andalusian essence with a Mudejar-inspired aesthetic in a 5-star hotel in Loja
La Bobadilla, a Royal Hideaway Hotel is located in Sierra de Loja, a mountain range with an area of 210 km2 in the province of Granada. A peaceful setting known for its beautiful landscapes dominated by limestone rock, including Mediterranean forest, riverbeds, springs and green valleys.
The history of this accommodation in Loja, Granada, dates back to the early 80s when businessmen Rolf Egli and Rudolf Staab acquireda farm in the middle of the Mediterranean forest with the intention of building a restaurant in the Andalusian countryside. They fell in love with the beauty of the landscape, with its green hills of holm oaks and olive groves in an unspoilt setting, where the silence is only interrupted by the chirping of birds.
The architect Jesús del Valle not only interpreted their vision but took it a step further. What was originally intended to be a restaurant ended up becoming La Bobadilla, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, a farmhouse hidden in the Sierra de Loja conceived as a small Andalusian village with Mudejar architecture that advocates sustainable luxury. Later, the estate grew to acquire 700 hectares, thus preventing possible future constructions in its surroundings from interfering with the exclusivity of the hotel.
The interiors of the hotel highlight the history of Andalusia through materials and ornaments that evoke great architectural emblems such as the Alhambra or the Mosque of Cordoba. From cobblestone floors and regal fabrics to fine wood and marble pieces, no detail was left behind. One of the crown jewels is found in the chapel; a monumental organ of 1595 pipes that is the most important non-ecclesiastical organ in Spain.
A dream location in a Mediterranean forest in Granada
The hotel is located in the Sierra de Loja, a massif that is part of the Baetic mountain ranges, with an altitude of 1670 m. Not only justof great geological and scenic interest, it is also a tourist attraction, where it is possible to practise numerous activities such as free climbing, hiking, cycling and paragliding routes.
One of its most interesting places is the Sierra de Loja lookout, which offers visitors views of the karst landscape in which it is framed. The different bioclimatic levels that make up the mountain range make it possible for a great diversity of plants and flowers to coexist here.Holm oaks, Aleppo pine forests, gall oak and maple forests, rosemary, thyme groves and a long list more welcome the traveller at this hotel in Loja, Granada, where you will find one of the best preserved natural treasures of the Andalusian region.

The hotel has one of the most environmentally friendly sources of energy –biomass–. By using the pit of the olives of its own olive trees as fuel and a source of clean energy, it heats all the rooms, as well as the water in the swimming pools and the Spa. This system allows the hotel to replace propane gas with biofuel, reduce CO2 emissions by 80% and reducing energy consumption by up to 45%. Thanks to this pioneering method and biomass plant, better waste management is also achieved— it is returned to the same place where it comes from: the earth.
Furthermore, the treatments offered at the Spa only use 100% natural ingredients with organic and bio-active properties, certified by ECOCERT. The swimming pool, with a capacity of 1,619,000 litres of water, has its own filter system and has been treated with a waterproof product imported directly from New Zealand.
