About Us

Mi AlmaZara: my roots

My name is Esperanza (though many know me as “Hope”), and this is my story.

After more than 20 years in executive roles at major companies, I reached a point when I realised I had already lived more years than I had left ahead of me. That was when I decided to step out of my high heels and walk barefoot… and my steps led me here.

This is no ordinary story. It’s a story of dedication, perseverance, trust, passion and support.
A personal project inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai, it took 10 years to come to life. Today, it has grown into something with a life of its own.

Why Mi AlmaZara?
Mi: Because the moment you say it, it becomes yours.

Alma: Because it’s the essence of everything.
Zara: Because it’s short for Zarauz, where my roots lie

What people say about us

  • This is a wonderful boutique hotel, which provides peace, tranquility, serenity, and sustainability. The setting is quite spectacular. While the breakfast is excellent, the gastronomical dinner experience is not for everyone. …
