Hotel Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club

August 6, 2026 · Edward Leos

Set along the sun-drenched shores of Spain’s Costa del Sol in Marbella, Hotel Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club is a new five-star luxury beachfront retreat that reveals a quieter, more refined side of Marbella.
Blending Andalusian heritage with modern slow luxury design offers direct beach access and sweeping views across the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains, all within easy reach of Old Town Marbella and nearby villages.
Designed by Goddard Littlefair, its 135 spacious rooms and suites, with a private terrace or balcony, draw on Moorish-inspired architecture, from horseshoe arches and intricate zellige tilework to jali windows, natural stone and sunlit courtyard spaces, softened by earthy tones of terracotta, sage and ochre.
Guests can move seamlessly between three outdoor pools, landscaped gardens and the shoreline, while the Spa by Champneys, the brand’s first European outpost, offers a dedicated wellness sanctuary with treatment rooms, thermal facilities and a holistic studio.
Culinary experiences offer Mediterranean flavors with Andalusian influence, from all-day dining at Terraza to the vibrant Amù Beach Club, where oceanfront lunches, sunset cocktails, live music and an infinity pool create a lively social hub.
The Lobby Bar and Garden Bar provide more relaxed settings throughout the day, perfect for grabbing a morning coffee or a nightcap.
Hotel Gran Marbella’s commitment to sustainable, locally rooted practices and thoughtfully designed event spaces ensures the resort feels equally suited for tranquil escapes, social gatherings and coastal celebrations.
