Lodging & Experiences

It is the food, the places you stay, and the quiet moments shared around the fire.

Every detail is designed to create a complete experience that reflects the best of Spanish tradition, culture, and hospitality. Whether staying on our finca or in carefully selected mountain accommodations, comfort and quality are never an afterthought.

Finca El Encinarejo

There is something profoundly special about waking up inside the land you hunt. As first light breaks over the finca, the day begins quietly—no transfers, no rush, no sense of being moved through an itinerary. Step outside with a coffee in hand and you are already in hunting country, where red deer move through the valleys, fallow graze in the open, and the rhythms of the land set the pace for the day ahead. This connection to place is rare, and it changes the entire experience.

Life on the finca is designed around field-to-fork living and tailored, first-class service. Animals harvested are respectfully prepared and served at the table, turning each hunt into a shared meal and a story retold over good wine and long evenings. Days flow naturally into nights—fires lit, food carefully prepared, details quietly taken care of—allowing you to focus on the hunt, the people around you, and the memories being made. This is a true Spanish hunting experience: unhurried, deeply personal, and rooted in tradition, hospitality, and respect for the land.

Host — Lodge & Hospitality

The table, set by Jess

Today, my work blends the refined luxury of South African safari hospitality with the warmth, rhythm, and soul of Spanish hosting. At Encinarejo Outfitters, my focus is on creating a space that feels elegant, grounded, and genuinely welcoming — where people feel both cared for and completely at ease.

"My menus reflect this fusion of worlds — shaped by my South African roots, my life in Spain, and a deep respect for local sourcing. We use locally grown produce and ethically raised meat, including from our own property."

— Jess Hohne, Host — Lodge & Hospitality

Unforced luxury. Thoughtful detail. A lodge designed to feel like it belongs exactly where it stands.

Between hunts

The living finca

Between hunts, the same country goes on living. Iberian lynx slip through the dehesa, European bison move in the open, and the lake draws the day to a close. You don't book it or chase it—it is simply part of waking up inside the land you hunt.

Boutique Hotels in Spain's Hunting Regions

One of Spain's great, and often unexpected, luxuries is its accommodation. Even in villages with only a few hundred inhabitants, it is common to find beautifully restored historic hotels—places rich in character, warmth, and quiet elegance. These are not generic properties, but family-run establishments rooted in their landscape, where history, hospitality, and attention to detail are part of everyday life.

After a demanding day in the mountains, returning to this level of comfort becomes part of the experience itself. Boots come off, fires are lit, and the evening settles into a rhythm of exceptional food, local wine, and unhurried conversation. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, creating the perfect contrast to long stalks and physical days in the field. It is this balance—wild country by day, thoughtful comfort by night—that makes hunting in Spain so uniquely rewarding.

Whether you are staying on our private finca or in one of Spain's hidden hotel gems, you can expect comfort, character, and accommodation that fits the hunt—not the other way around.

"Some of the best hotels our clients have ever stayed in were in villages they'd never heard of."
