Birthdays at HierbaBuena
A milestone birthday at a cortijo in Almería
A long dinner under the stars, old friends, good wine and a house that is yours all night.
Years worth celebrating
For the birthdays people remember
Some birthdays do not fit in a restaurant. Forty, fifty, seventy: a life celebrated with family and friends around one table.
At HierbaBuena the whole house is yours. Music, toasts and a table with no closing time, in a place that invites you to stay until the next day.
How the night unfolds
From aperitif to the stars
A celebration that begins at sunset and lasts as long as you wish, within the house rules.
Sunset
Aperitif
Guests arrive with the last light and the porch fills with glasses and embraces.
Evening
Dinner
A long table, the menu you have chosen and toasts that have waited years.
After dinner
Cake and memories
Candles, old photographs and moving speeches by the fire.
Late night
The house aglow
Music carries on at a gentle volume, and those staying over have the house a few steps away.
The house, yours alone
Everything you need to know
Every celebration is different, but some things never change once you step through the cortijo’s door.
4 bedrooms, 8 guests
Those you choose can sleep at the cortijo and live the celebration from beginning to end.
Pool, garden and porch
Outdoor spaces for every moment of the day, from first light to the last lingering meal.
Catering your way
Bring your own suppliers or choose from those we recommend, who already know the house.
Music welcome
Music is part of the celebration, always at a volume that respects the house and its surroundings.
A conversation, not a price list
Length of stay, dates and terms are discussed in private, shaped around what you imagine.
House rules
A celebration the house remembers fondly
Celebrating at HierbaBuena means celebrating in a house with a history. These few rules keep it that way.
Agreed guest list
The number of guests is agreed in advance and kept throughout the celebration.
Music with respect
There is music, at a volume that looks after the house, the neighbours and the quiet of the countryside.
The house as your own
We ask you to treat the cortijo as you would the home of a friend who lends it to you.
Clear timings
Arrival, the end of the party and departure are agreed together before the day.

Those who were here
What they tell us afterwards
My fiftieth was exactly as I dreamed it: my people, a beautiful table and the whole night ahead. Nobody wanted to leave.
We celebrated my father’s eightieth with the whole family. Watching the grandchildren run through the garden while he told stories was priceless.
