Hard Rock Hotel Marbella puts you in the Puerto Banus postcode – one of southern Spain’s most glamorous marinas. You’re close enough to stroll to the waterfront superyachts, restaurants and late-night bars, yet set back just enough for a breather when you need it. The beach is also within easy reach, while Marbella’s old town and promenade are a quick taxi ride away for a change of scene.

From breakfast buffets with show-cooking to late-night cocktails backed by a live DJ, the food and drink scene here keeps the tempo high.

Show Cooking Restaurant Sessions is the main buffet venue, serving breakfast and dinner with live cooking stations and a mix of international and Mediterranean dishes – the usual spot for Half Board guests.

Nayane is the à la carte restaurant for dinner, perfect when you want to dress up and linger over plates with a more creative twist (reservations and supplements may apply depending on your board).

For drinks and lighter bites, there’s the laid-back Eden Pool Club Bar by the water, GMT +1 Lobby Bar for cocktails and pre-club drinks, and Suena Chido snack bar for casual daytime grazing between sunbathing sessions.

A smart dress code may apply in selected venues. Restaurant opening times, menus and whether meals are buffet or à la carte can change with season and occupancy – check the latest info on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.
