Marbella · Andalusia · Spain
Where you stay in Marbella is part of the experience, not just a base. We match you with a hotel that fits how you like to travel — a garden resort on the beach, a whitewashed village of suites around its own plaza, or a Nobu hotel within it.
01Where to stay
Distances are in a straight line to the old town.
Marbella’s Golden Mile runs along the coast between the town and Puerto Banús, its resorts set in gardens that reach down to the beach. For a stay by the sea, with the town and the marina on either side.
A Nobu hotel within Puente Romano on the Golden Mile, with Nobu's restaurant and bar, an adults-only pool for its guests, and the resort's beach and spa.
Suits Couples and friends who come for the evenings as much as the days — dinner at Nobu, then La Plaza — and families too, with connecting rooms and the resort's kids' club.
A five-star resort on the Golden Mile's beach, with rooms, suites and villas in subtropical gardens, a Beach Club, a Thalasso Spa and a Kids Club.
Suits Families above all, with a Kids Club open every day of the year and villas with private pools; and couples who want the beach and the gardens more than the town.
A whitewashed village of suites on the Milla de Oro's beach, with a Six Senses Spa, a tennis club and more than twenty restaurants and bars.
Suits Families, with interconnecting suites, La Casita Kids Club and a lounge for teenagers, and couples and friends who want restaurants and nightlife a short walk from their suite.
Another area to consider
The old town grew around the Plaza de los Naranjos, laid out after the town surrendered to Ferdinand the Catholic in 1485, with the walls of its Moorish castle nearby and the Avenida del Mar’s bronzes by Salvador Dalí between it and the sea. None of our featured hotels is in the old town; tell us if you would like to stay there.

Marbella’s old town lies a short way back from the sea, with the Milla de Oro, its Golden Mile, running west from the town along the coast towards Puerto Banús. The map shows our featured hotels and the Plaza de los Naranjos.
