Marbella, Costa Del Sol, Spain

Dining is a real highlight here. Start the day with generous buffets and live cooking at Restaurant Alhambra, serving international favourites and Spanish flavours for breakfast and dinner, with kids’ menus and highchairs available.

By day, the laid-back Bar Tartesos doubles as a pool bar and snack spot, ideal for something light between swims. Evenings can begin in the elegant Lobby Bar, where you’ll find a refined cocktail list and premium drinks.

Down on the seafront, the stylish Chambao Beach Club is the hotel’s showstopper: an à la carte restaurant and bar serving Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine for leisurely lunches and dinners with uninterrupted sea views (seasonal opening, not usually included in All Inclusive).

A smart-casual dress code may apply in certain venues and facilities or opening times can vary by season; supplements may apply depending on your chosen board. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The hotel’s outdoor spaces are made for lazy Costa del Sol days.

• Main outdoor freshwater pool with a spacious sunbathing terrace, sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols.
• Outdoor children’s freshwater pool (usually open mid-April to late October), set beside the main pool so families can stay together.
• Complimentary pool towels, meaning more room in your suitcase.

A short walk brings you to the sandy beach, where you can unwind to the sound of the waves or head to Chambao Beach Club for something more upbeat. Facilities at the beach and opening dates for pools may vary by season.

Stay as active – or as relaxed – as you like:

• Air-conditioned gym with cardio equipment and a free-weights area (min. age 16yrs, typically open 08:00–21:00).
• Pilates and yoga sessions to stretch out after a day on the beach (programmes may vary).
• Spa Sensations offering massages and tailored treatments (min. age 18yrs, usually 10:00–19:00; charges apply).
• Beauty treatments for an extra touch of Marbella glamour (extra charge).

Evenings bring a relaxed entertainment programme, particularly in summer:
• Regular live music across the season (roughly March–October).
