Marbella Club
Marbella, Spain
Sea air, mountain views, and a prime spot on Marbella’s Golden Mile, set in pine groves away from the bustle, creates a microcosm for slow-paced living at Marbella Club. The hotel calls on guests to move intentionally, nurturing the important things in life—”family, community, laughter, and togetherness.”
The classic Andulsian look and feel of Marbella Club is home to 115 rooms and suites, 17 villas, and six totally private Grand Villas that range in size from three-six bedrooms, making them perfect for special family trips. Residences are spread across a beautiful 60-year-old garden where nothing is taller than the trees. The hotel sits right by the ocean with a seawater swimming pool, six restaurants, and a thalassotherapy spa.
The story
Marbella Club is one of the most notable and well-known hotels in Europe, coveted for its lush gardens, slow pace, and unparalleled reputation among the jetset. The hotel started life in the von Hohenloe family as their humble Mediterranean hideaway, then known as Finca Santa Margarita. In 1954, Prince Alfonoso purchased the hotel and the rest – as they say – is history. Marbella Club went on to become synonymous with stars of music, film, and sport.
Your stay
Villa del Mar is the hotel’s “beachfront jewel in the crown,” favored by celebrities and stars the world over. Whispering fountains meet sprawling living areas both inside and out, with traditional Andalusian patios, eclectic art, and sea-facing terraces. It’s the ultimate place for entertaining and celebrating.
How to spend your time
If you’re called to leave the hotel’s seawater swimming pool, six restaurants, wellness center, and never-ending gardens and wellness amenities, teeing off at the hotel’s world-class golf course or spending the day at the stables is never a compromise. After a day on the go, book lunch at the famous Beach Club where you’ll often find co-owner, Count Rudi, waiting to strike up conversation.
