The sprawling property comes across as the most luxury and idyllic spanish village imaginable.
Over the years the Marbella Club has managed to keep its original spirit alive as it has gracefully expanded to become one of the most iconic luxury resorts in the Mediterranean.
Conde Nast Traveler, January 2025There's nowhere more romantic, nor out-and-out fun, than the Marbella Club.
Tatler, January 2025Most strikingly, the Marbella Club retains the atmosphere of a princely residence, rather than a commercial hotel — within the resort’s gates are acres of manicured tropical gardens, and the rooms are scattered among a number of low-slung buildings, the more exclusive villas hidden away behind private gardens and pools.
Michelin Guide, July 2024Against the backdrop of the Sierra Blanca Mountains and Rock of Gibraltar, guests are transported in time at this legendary property. What was once one of Europe’s most famous celebrity beach haunts in the 1960s and 1970s still attracts an alluring crowd with its lush gardens and tranquil design.
Travel + Leisure, July 2024Over time it has evolved from a string of Californian-motel-inspired lodges into a rarefied village anchored by the beach. Yet despite it's growth, it has maintained the intimacy of a member's club.
Conde Nast Traveler, February 2023From its humble beginnings, the Marbella Club has certainly flourished into a beautiful being. It still serves as a glamorous playground for children and adults alike, with Prince Alfonso's joie de vivre still very much alive.
