5* Marbella retreat near the beach

Soak up the glitz and glam of Marbella from a recently renovated base near the beach - includes breakfast and parking

• Idyllic setting: Facing the shimmering Mediterranean with a dramatic Sierra Blanca mountain backdrop, and exactly halfway between Marbella’s old town and the glitz of Puerto Banus, Alanda Marbella Hotel is perfectly located for exploring the best of this legendary destination. This calm, respectful place embraces the region’s Moorish heritage; its white buildings are set in landscaped, palm-filled gardens, where you’ll also find a large outdoor swimming pool.

• Exquisite dining: The breakfast buffet at Aceituna Restaurant is especially extensive, while La Pérgola serves up Italian delights alongside grilled meats and fish for lunch and dinner. Then there's 100% organic Manuka, with its variety of plant-bases dishes. Don’t expect late-night pool parties, as the hotel serves no alcohol in its bar or restaurants - ideal if you truly want to relax and recharge with freshly squeezed juices and mocktails.

• Blissful spa R&R: If you're looking to envelope yourself in utter relaxation and calm, look no further than the luxurious spa. Here, you'll find a heated pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, and steam bath. For a head-to-toe pampering, you can book an open-air massage at the beach club, or if keeping active is more your bag, there's a fully equipped gym on site. You're also a short walk from the beach, where you can enjoy a scenic stroll.
