What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The look is relaxed yet refined: terracotta tones, Andalusian touches, and generous suites with sea-facing terraces.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Quiet residential villas surround the estate. The beach is a short walk, and Marbella's old town is a fifteen-minute drive west.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature geometric headboards and vivid ceramic tiling, while upper suites step out onto furnished balconies facing the coast.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater outdoor pool sits among pine trees, flanked by timber pergolas and daybeds in the central gardens.
The spa
Saltwater fills the 33-degree indoor hydrotherapy pool, set alongside a Finnish sauna, a hammam, and Codage Paris treatments.
Gym and racquet club
The gym looks out onto garden lawns, and the racquet club has outdoor tennis and padel courts facing the sea.
Dogs stay too.
Azul Lounge Bar
Blue fluted ceramic wraps the curved counter, where the lounge serves aperitif vermouths, tapas, and late cocktails.
At the table
Jara serves regional Andalusian dishes on garden terraces, and Escondido pours cocktails on the rooftop at sunset.
How it began
Banker Ignacio Coca opened the property in 1962. During the seventies, its lounges drew film stars, musicians, and European royalty.
