Hotel Facilities
Marbella Club sits within 42,000 square metres of subtropical gardens on the Golden Mile, with two outdoor heated swimming pools, direct beach access and a Beach Club open year-round. The 5,000sqm Kids Club runs daily activities for ages 4-14 — gardening, cookery, water sports and flamenco among them. An equestrian centre 20 minutes away in Benahavís offers horse riding and dressage, and the Dave Thomas-designed 18-hole golf course is a 20-minute shuttle from the hotel. Tennis and paddle courts are at sister resort Puente Romano — 14 courts in total, a short walk along the beach. A botanical garden with 300+ plant varieties, art gallery, shopping gallery, barber shop and beauty studio complete the grounds. Daily complimentary wellness activities are included for all guests.
Wellness Facilities
The 800sqm Thalasso Spa draws on seawater therapies — a dynamic seawater pool, osmotic steam baths, saunas and 12 treatment rooms, with personalised programmes for relaxation, detox and rejuvenation guided by the resort's multidisciplinary wellness team.
The Holistic Studio hosts yoga, meditation and movement sessions alongside naturopath consultations and interactive cookery classes — the nutritional counterpart to the spa. A fully equipped Technogym gym and Pilates studio sit alongside, with personal training available throughout the stay.
Dining
El Patio is the heart of the Clubhouse — an all-day Andalusian courtyard for coffee, long lunches, aperitifs and after-hours cocktails among jasmine-scented vines, as beloved by Marbella locals as by hotel guests.
El Grill is the resort's legendary fine dining restaurant — silver service, candles on the outdoor terrace and time-tested recipes over a crackling fire, continued by the same family across generations.
MC Beach takes its cue from Málaga's traditional chiringuito — blues and whites, sardinas al espeto and sangria-fuelled lunches right on the sand.
The Beach Club is the resort's sun-splashed daytime destination, its palapa-inspired design recalling 1950s Acapulco with tropical greens, coral hues and al fresco lounging from morning to evening.
Rudi's is the Bohemian lounge — champagne, backgammon, tapas and live music in an intimate homage to Count Rudi, the Club's most cherished host.
Summer Bar opens each evening in a jasmine-scented orange grove, where the piano plays and the night unfolds at its own pace.
La Bodega celebrates the wines on the list through private tastings and a cherrywood library — pre-booking required.
El Olivar at the Garden Pool is the resort's quiet hidden gem — garden-inspired healthy lunches by Wellness Chef Andrés Ruiz in an intimate poolside setting.
El Obrador is the resort's artisan bakery and deli, open for slow mornings, afternoon merienda and everything delicious in between.
El Olivar by Chef Andrés is the resort's quietly brilliant farm-to-table restaurant — garden-inspired healthy lunches created by Wellness Chef Andrés Ruiz using produce from Finca Ana María, the hotel's own estate with 300+ seasonal varieties. Set beside the adults-only pool and open to guests aged 16 and over.

A Leading Hotels of the World member, it combines a Thalasso Spa, 10 dining venues, a 5,000sqm Kids Club and 320 days of Costa del Sol sunshine with the kind of warm, personal atmosphere that larger resorts rarely achieve.

El Olivar is open to guests aged 16 and over.
Is Marbella Club suitable for families?
Marbella Club is one of the most complete family resorts on the Costa del Sol. The 5,000sqm Kids Club runs daily activities for ages 4-14 year-round — from gardening, cookery and flamenco to water sports and arts and crafts. Two outdoor heated pools, direct beach access and family-friendly dining at MC Beach and the Beach Club give families plenty of space. The resort's open, village-style layout means children have room to move freely while parents can use the spa or enjoy the beach independently.

Guests have access to 14 tennis and paddle courts at sister resort Puente Romano, a Dave Thomas-designed 18-hole golf course 20 minutes away in Benahavís, an equestrian centre and water sports, alongside a fully equipped gym and year-round outdoor movement sessions at Finca Ana María.

It is open to guests aged 16 and over and sits apart from the resort's main dining buzz, making it particularly well suited to couples and solo guests wanting a quieter meal alongside the wellness offer.
When is the best time to visit Marbella Club?
Marbella Club is open year-round and the Costa del Sol's 320 days of sunshine make it a destination that works in every season. The beach, pools and outdoor spaces are at their best from May to October, with July and August the warmest and most social months. Spring and autumn bring quieter stays with warm temperatures, and winter visits are mild with the Thalasso Spa and full dining offer available throughout.
