Marbella Club History.
Nestled along the stunning Costa del Sol, the Marbella Club Hotel, is an iconic symbol of luxury and charm. A rural estate until 1954, when Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe transformed a rustic finca into a retreat for Europe’s elite. The prince discovered Marbella, with its warm climate and beautiful coastline, and saw the potential for a different kind of holiday destination.
It has been a favorite destination for many prominent guests (aristocrats, celebrities, and dignitaries) seeking a party destination or a hideaway on the Costa del Sol. The hotel retains its unique Andalusian-meets-Hollywood-motel style, with rows of whitewashed bungalows lining the driveway leading down to the ocean. Each area has its distinct ambiance, from breezy coastal chic to opulent drinking lounges to grand country houses.
The hotel’s success stemmed from its unique blend of elegance and informality. Prince Alfonso envisioned a haven where guests could relax in understated opulence, surrounded by lush gardens and breathtaking sea views. Over the decades, the Marbella Club expanded its offerings, adding world-class amenities like fine dining, spa services, and a championship golf course.
Today, the Marbella Club Hotel remains a beacon of timeless sophistication, preserving its heritage while embracing modern luxury. Its rich history continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the globe.
