When planning a destination wedding in Southern Spain, choosing the right venue is everything. If you’re dreaming of panoramic views, Andalusian elegance, and complete privacy, Cortijo Bravo offers something truly special.
One of the reasons we love recommending this venue to our couples is its flexibility: you can choose a beautifully curated one-day wedding celebration or enjoy full exclusivity of the estate for four unforgettable days.
Let’s explore both options.

A Stunning One-Day Wedding Celebration
For couples who want an elegant yet relaxed celebration, Cortijo Bravo offers the perfect setting for a one-day wedding experience.
Your day typically flows beautifully:
✨ Outdoor ceremony overlooking the mountains and Mediterranean coastline
🥂 Cocktail reception on the terrace as the sun begins to set
🍽️ Al fresco dinner under the Andalusian sky
💃 Evening dancing 

The venue’s whitewashed architecture, landscaped gardens, and sweeping views create a romantic backdrop without needing excessive décor. Golden hour here is truly magical — perfect for timeless wedding photography.
A one-day celebration works wonderfully for couples who have guests staying in nearby Nerja, Torre del Mar, or Málaga, while still enjoying the charm and intimacy of a countryside estate.

Four Days of Exclusive Use – A True Destination Wedding Experience
For couples wanting more than just a wedding day, Cortijo Bravo offers exclusive use of the entire estate for four days.
This option transforms your wedding into a full destination experience — relaxed, intimate, and beautifully immersive.
What Four-Day Exclusivity Means
✔️ On-site accommodation for close family and friends
✔️ Time to decorate and personalise the space
✔️ Multiple events across days
✔️ A stress-free wedding morning
Many of my couples choose this option because it allows them to slow down and truly enjoy time with loved ones who have travelled from abroad.

How a Four-Day Wedding Could Look
For couples dreaming of more than just a wedding day, Cortijo Bravo offers a beautifully designed four-day exclusivity package, allowing you to transform your celebration into a full destination experience.
This option is perfect for couples travelling from abroad who want meaningful time with their closest family and friends — without feeling rushed.

What’s Included in the Four-Day Package

• Four nights in a double room on a bed & breakfast basis
• Exclusive use of the hotel and swimming pool
• Exclusivity runs from the first night until departure at 12pm
• Please note: the first day of exclusivity is for accommodation only

Having the estate privately reserved means you and your guests can truly relax and enjoy the Andalusian surroundings together. 

🍷 Welcome Dinner or Cocktail Evening
One of the highlights of a destination wedding is gathering everyone together from the start.
The package includes:

• One welcome dinner or meal (cocktail-style or tapas)
• Drinks included for 1 hour 30 minutes (water, beer and soft drinks)

This is a wonderful way to set the tone for the celebrations ahead.

🔥 Additional Dinner (Your Choice of Day)
You may also choose:

• A barbecue or traditional Spanish paella meal
• Drinks included for 1 hour 30 minutes (water, beer and soft drinks)

Many couples choose to host this poolside for a relaxed, informal gathering before the wedding day.

Wedding Day Included
The promotion includes  the least expensive Wedding Menu for your reception meal or dinner.
Should you prefer an alternative wedding menu, the price difference will simply be added to your final bill — allowing flexibility while maintaining transparency.

Bar & Service Requirements During Exclusivity
To maintain service standards during your stay, the venue requires:

• An Open Bar or Cash Bar must be contracted on at least one day of the exclusivity period, as well as on the wedding day.
• Minimum bar consumption

​Important Notes About Exclusivity

• Exclusivity includes hotel and pool access only.
• The restaurant remains open to the public unless a private service has been contracted.
• Additional services can be arranged to create full privacy for specific events.
• Minimum 42 people with accommodation - maximum 21 occupied rooms
• Minimum guests attending the wedding 50 people or equivalent invoicing

As your wedding planner, we help coordinate these details in advance so there are no surprises and everything flows seamlessly.

Why Couples Choose the Four-Day Experience
A multi-day wedding allows you to:
✨ Spend quality time with guests travelling internationally
✨ Host multiple styled events (welcome dinner, pool party, farewell brunch)
✨ Enjoy a relaxed wedding morning on-site
✨ Create a true “wedding holiday” atmosphere
Instead of one single day, your celebration becomes a shared experience.
