5-star beachfront hotel on Marbella's seafront promenade
Amenities
The hotel offers three outdoor swimming pools, including a rooftop infinity pool with sea views and a heated indoor pool for colder months. Guests have access to a 4,000-square-meter garden, a well-regarded spa with Clarins treatments, and a fitness center overlooking the ocean. A sky bar serving mixology cocktails and a concierge team that coordinates restaurant bookings and day trips are available on site.
Dining
On-site restaurants feature menus by Michelin-starred chefs, with the Levante restaurant and the beachfront Soleo offering fresh seafood and fine cuisine. The breakfast buffet includes oysters, cava, and a made-to-order omelet station, with a separate 'Selected' area for guests who book that tier. A coffee house on site and a snack bar by the pool provide lighter options throughout the day.
Rooms & Suites
Rooms are designed by Chilean designer Jaime Beriestain's studio and include categories like Junior Suites with partial sea views and Double or Twin Rooms with terrace. Some rooms feature a private balcony with jacuzzi, while others have a soaking tub and separate shower. All rooms come with Molton Brown toiletries and daily turndown service.
Wellness & Spa
The spa and wellness center offers Clarins treatments, a steam room, sauna, and a relaxation area with heated loungers. Guests can book massage therapies, use the solarium, or join yoga classes on the terrace. The spa also provides a heated indoor pool and a spa lounge for post-treatment relaxation.
Family & Children
The hotel provides a kids' club, board games, and an indoor play area, plus babysitting services upon request. Three pools include a dedicated children's pool, and the beachfront is just across a small road with direct hotel access.
