One of Spain’s most exclusive resorts, the beachfront Marbella Club makes for a restorative and sophisticated escape on Spain’s sun-soaked south coast. Think understated luxury and exceptional wellness facilities with easy access to Marbella’s hotspots.
Marbella Club began life in the 1950s as a modest rural farmhouse estate, when Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe transformed it into a 20-room hideaway. It soon attracted a jet-set clientele, with the likes of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn helping to cement the hotel – and Marbella – as a luxury destination. Today, it remains one of Spain’s most sought-after resorts, with a prime setting on Marbella’s glamorous ‘Golden Mile’ beachfront and countless press write-ups highlighting its credentials.
One of the Leading Hotels of the World, Marbella Club brags classic Andalusian architecture, super-smart interiors, and Mediterranean gardens with more than 400 tropical species. Its Thalasso Spa harnesses the healing powers of mineral-rich sea water, offering personalised treatments from an expert team, alongside lifestyle coaching, nutrition guidance, and a movement programme tailored to each guest.
Dining is just as carefully thought out, from healthy, chef-curated dishes to indulgent Mediterranean cuisine served in atmospheric settings. Other highlights include two palm-fringed pools, stylish rooms and direct access to sands freckled with daybeds and thatched parasols.
Families are welcome at Marbella Club, and there’s an excellent Kids’ Club with its own miniature village.
Marbella Club’s sleek spa takes a holistic approach to wellness, with a focus on thalassotherapy and harnessing the healing benefits of mineral-rich sea water. Treatments combine modern techniques with ancient methods, supported by healthy eating, regular activity, and rejuvenating therapies.
The experienced team delivers treatments designed to leave you feeling energised and uplifted. Guests also have access to an in-house nutritionist and visiting psychologist life coach.
Facilities include an indoor thalasso pool with high-pressure jets, swan-neck fountains, and massaging Jacuzzi beds. Additional amenities include treatment rooms, a beauty studio, saunas, steam rooms, a relaxation lounge, and a studio for yoga and wellness sessions.
Interiors are authentic with a contemporary edge and feature low-slung whitewashed walls and terracotta tiles in charming bungalow-style buildings.
If you’re on a wellness programme, you can look forward to extra in-room touches, such as a mini bar stocked with raw bars and coconut water. Each evening, fresh lemon slices are delivered to your room, ready for an alkalising lemon and hot water ritual to start the next day.
The hotel has a postcode on Marbella’s famous ‘Golden Mile’ beachfront, around 35 minutes from Malaga Airport. There are tennis and padel courts a 10-minute walk away, while golf fans can reach nearby courses in around 25 minutes by car. Horse riding enthusiasts, meanwhile, can drive or catch a taxi to Marbella Club Equestrian Centre in 20 minutes.
A scenic 15-minute stroll along the promenade takes you into Marbella town, and Puerto Banus, with its designer boutiques, nightspots and yachts is a 10-minute drive away.
