Kukutana means 'meeting place' in Swahili. It is a family project born from the desire to share Doñana National Park, a little-known corner of Spain filled with wildlife (from migratory birds to deer, wild boars, and the Iberian lynx) and home to Europe’s longest virgin beach. The newly-restored 6 bedroom farmhouse (just 50 mins from Seville) has been opened for private hire. Kukutana is somewhere you can forget about the rest of the world and experience many new things. A hidden gem of Southern Europe.
