Beginning life as an unassuming finca in the 1940s, the Marbella Club Hotel is now a grand resort with a prime beachfront location. Throughout its history, royals, celebrities and sporting heroes have passed under its whitewashed archway and fallen in love with it.
Villas have between two and five bedrooms and are perfect for families who are looking for their own private space. The larger villas are fitted with modern kitchens and very suitable for independent families. You’re only a five-minute drive from the colours and cobbles of Old Town.
The resort features a range of recreational facilities. 20 minutes from the hotel, putt your way around the 18-hole golf course – taking in the views of the mountains and the Med between holes. There’s also a beach club, water sports, a modern equestrian centre and a holistic studio. Relax in the 800-metre-squared state-of-the-art spa, including a seawater pool, Osmanic steam baths, saunas and a full range of beauty treatments.
Take advantage of a bar-side view as mixologists showcase the art of cocktail making at the on-site summer bar. Sample an international menu at the popular MC Café, or opt for local, seasonal cuisine at the Grill.
Children are very welcome, with a range of activities tailored for them. They can practice flamenco at the dance studio and music room, try their hand at pottery, tend to the vegetable garden and much more.
Located within the extensive hotel gardens, the colonial-style two, three, four and five-bedroom villas are ideal for private family stays. Each villa has a private garden, a spacious living room and light, airy bedrooms. These include en-suite bathrooms with Iranian marble floors and a double vanity, a bathtub with massage jets and a separate shower.
Inspired by traditional Andalusian architecture, the uniquely designed Grand Villas include additional amenities and an extra element of exclusivity, with four, five or six bedrooms. At 1,200sqm the five-bedroom Villa Anil has an ample terrace with views to a private garden with pool and barbeque dining area. One can reach the garden by passing through the main living room with floor-to ceiling windows that allow natural light to flood in, as well as a lovely fireplace.
The villa also has an entertainment area with a cinema room furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs, as well as an English Billiards table. This area is complemented by a fitness room equipped with elliptical machines and a sauna adjacent to a massage or treatment room. The villa also includes a fully equipped kitchen.
