Few famous faces of the modern era have sought out solace and seclusion so assiduously as the woman who (once upon a time) would have been queen.<\/p>\n
One of Princess Diana<\/a>\u2019s favourite spots was behind the vertiginous walls of the Byblos Hotel, secreted away in a sliver of idyllic Andalusian countryside, midway between Malaga and Marbella.<\/p>\n Sister hotel to the Byblos in St Tropez, it blazed a brief hedonistic trail through the tail end of the 20th century. Following a \u00a335 million restoration, a very different iteration of the property has appeared. It has been renamed La<\/a> Zambra and exudes a zen-like peacefulness. Sunlight and shadows dance off geometric pools and a subtle sprinkling of fountains conjures up a modernist invocation of a Moorish palace.<\/p>\n The acclaimed minimalist Majorca-based, father-and-son design team, Esteva I Esteva, has created a sophisticated contemporary property of 197 spacious rooms looking out over either the Robert Trent Jones-designed golf courses or the Sierra Nevada<\/a>.<\/p>\n Three restaurants, overseen by Iker Gonzalez Ayerbe, a former ambassador for Basque gastronomy, deliver modern Iberian cuisine, incorporating exceptional tapas.<\/p>\n
