Hotel facts

Located directly on Marbella’s legendary Golden Mile, Marbella Club Hotel is one of the most iconic luxury resorts in southern Europe. Originally founded in the 1940s as the private residence of Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, the property helped shape Marbella into an international luxury destination and remains deeply woven into the area’s identity.

Rather than feeling like a traditional resort, Marbella Club has the atmosphere of an elegant Andalusian village by the sea. Whitewashed buildings, lush subtropical gardens and winding pathways create an environment that feels timeless, intimate and effortlessly sophisticated.

This is old-world Marbella at its absolute best.
