Nestled among long-nurtured gardens that offer both beauty and privacy, Marbella Club’s lodgings range from rooms and suites to ornate Andalusian-style villas. The interiors, Jean-Pierre Martel and Kamini Ezralow styled spaces that nod to Spanish white-wash chic albeit with a contemporary edge, boast cool furnishings and considered flares of colour. The six-bedroom Villa del Mar stands apart as the resort’s flagship accommodation – an extravagant property brimming with artisanal details throughout its 6,200 square metre sprawl. Off-site, the resort maintains its own Dave Thomas-designed golf links, while on-site spa, kids club and equestrian centre – not to mention the botanical gardens in which it is all set – give plenty of reason to explore and enjoy.
