The sister hotel of Puente Romano, this luxury Marbella beach hotel is set along the shore of the Golden Mile.
Once the private residence of Prince Alfonso, the hotel is made up of 35 luxury bedrooms, 80 suites and 14 Andalusian-style villas, set in acres of stunning, subtropical gardens.
The seafront Thalasso Spa, an 800-square metre wellness centre, features a Hammam, indoor seawater pool with Jacuzzi beds, steam rooms and Finnish saunas, and 12 fully-equipped treatment rooms, some with sea views. There’s also an outdoor garden pool surrounded by sun loungers and another one with a small Jacuzzi.
Dine in style on the romantic terrace, with candelabras in the trees and classic French cuisine, or enjoy a drink in the open-air hotel bar in the shade of orange trees. There’s even an art-deco champagne room with caviar on-hand.
Unlike other Marbella beach hotels, Puente Romano has more of a luxury village-style feel rather than a typical resort vibe thanks to its abundance of open-air courtyards and botanical gardens dotted around the complex.
Suites offer features like ocean-facing Jacuzzis on your personal sun terrace and your very own in-room sauna, while villas offer an exclusive home-from-home experience (albeit probably a little fancier thanks to the private pools and stylish rooftop solarium).
You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options, whether you have a craving for fresh, flavoursome Thai food, or you love the idea of relaxing on the seafront with a glass of bubbly and the finest seafood. There’s also a laid back beach bar that’s perfect for sipping sangria while watching the sun set.

What could be more luxurious than unwinding on your private terrace with your very own designer bar, whirlpool bath and Bali bed.
Enjoy refreshing cocktails by the pool overlooking the sea, sample Japanese cuisine at the sushi bar or try traditional Andalusian fare – the star of the show is the delicious roasted meat with the famous Gorrotxategi family techniques. If you feel like splurging, there’s also a sophisticated oyster, caviar and champagne bar in the hotel lobby.
Continue the relaxation in the resort’s spa and flit between the Turkish bath, sauna and Scotch shower, or take a dip in the outdoor pool and catch some rays on the Bali beds. Bliss.
