The world famous Marbella club was built as a private residence for German aristocrat, Prince Alfonso, in 1954. Since then it has become known as a haven for jetsetters and the epitome of old world glamour. Stay at this chic and sophisticated hotel and you’ll be following in the footsteps of the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn who came here to let their hair down on the sunny southern shores of Spain.

45 minutes from Malaga Airport.

Occupying a prime position between Marbella and Puerto Banus along the 'Golden Mile'.`

We love the hotel’s retro-chic aesthetic, with 131 rooms, suites and villas decorated in a light and bright Andalucian style, combining classic elegance with contemporary touches. All include a marble ensuite bathroom with separate bath and rain shower and a furnished outdoor terrace overlooking the glorious gardens or with sea views. We especially recommend the spacious Deluxe Double Beach Front Rooms, set right by the Beach Club, with terraces looking straight out at the Mediterranean. For something truly special, or for larger groups, the six bedroom Villa del Mar is hard to beat with a butler, maid, and dining staff on call, as well as a private spa therapist and personal trainer; silk carpets, collectable artwork and wood-burning fireplaces ensure timeless glamour whilst the kitchen and bar is stocked with your favourite food and drink, ensuring home-from-home perfection.

The weekend buffet at the Beach Club is legendary, popular with locals and hotel guests alike, serving fresh salads, grilled meats and fish, while the fine dining at The Grill is simply divine, set in a romantic, candlelit al fresco setting. There is also a trendy chiringuito shack down on the beach offering seafood by the water’s edge, and a stylish Art Deco-style Champagne bar. 

Bed & Breakfast

There is an expansive wellness centre, gym and classes in yoga and Pilates, and the hotel’s own golf course is 20 minutes away in the beautiful hills above the resort. Tennis fans must experience the Puente Romano Tennis Club close by, showcasing 8 clay and 2 hard courts as well as a team of professional coaches for all levels of player. There is also an equestrian centre, beautiful Botanical Gardens, and the kids’ club is just as stylish as the rest of the resort, housed within Prince Alfonso’s original villa and offering pottery and art, music and dancing, cookery and nature experiences.
