of the landscape, the blues of the sea and sky, and the warmth of golden sunlight, creating a dynamic, yet harmonious environment. Additionally, the works of Picasso, born in Málaga, and other Spanish artists influence the project, particularly in the use of curves, colour contrasts, and ceramic craftsmanship with a bold, modern twist.
While drawing from Mediterranean tradition, the design also incorporates a‘ 70s-inspired touch that reflects the building’ s original architecture from that era. This influence is evident in the use of geometric patterns, built-in niches, and light-filtering elements.
A rich Mediterranean mindset Upon entering the lobby and lounge areas, guests are welcomed by a warm and inviting ambience with a white Mediterranean background, wooden elements, and colourful furnishings inspired by the 70s. Handpainted murals inspired by Picasso add an artistic touch, evoking the home of an art enthusiast.
This philosophy extends into the lounges and library, where an eclectic, artsy, and warm environment is achieved through crafted objects, bold carpets, and wooden sliding elements that allow for flexible privacy levels to the central patio and adjacent spaces.
The existing Andalusian patio, one of the hotel’ s original and essential elements, is enhanced with more lush vegetation, simplified architectural features, a Mediterranean material palette, and a central sculptural water element that becomes the focal point.
The pool area is reimagined with a topographyinspired design, where a warm white backdrop enhances the refreshing natural turquoise tones of the water. Multi-level platforms blend in organically, creating a vibrant and colourful atmosphere with a vintage, chic vibe that invites relaxation. Nestled on one of these platforms, the Costa Club Pool Bar stands out with its terracotta tiles and latticework. A wooden pergola filters the light, casting playful shadows that evoke the essence of an authentic Mediterranean retreat.
