Precio de entrada Desde 450 € Más información → El lugar El resort ocupa un frente de playa en el Real de Zaragoza, en la Milla de Oro de Marbella, entre el casco histórico de la ciudad y Puerto Banús.
El concepto Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club es el noveno hotel de Iconic Luxury Hotels a nivel mundial y el tercero fuera del Reino Unido, tras la reciente inauguración de Palm House en Palm Beach (Florida); marca además el desembarco del grupo británico, propietario también de Cliveden House y del Excelsior Venice Lido Resort, en Andalucía. El hotel se organiza alrededor de cuatro piscinas, una de ellas infantil, jardines de inspiración andalusí y dos salones para eventos, con habitaciones repartidas entre Garden Suites, Terrace Suites con piscina o jacuzzi privados y la Royal Marbella Suite.
Gastronomía y bienestar Terraza, el restaurante principal de inspiración mediterránea, junto con varios bares distribuidos entre el lobby y los jardines. Amù Beach Club, segunda sede de la marca tras su local de Mónaco, añade una piscina infinita, restauración frente al mar y acceso directo a la playa.
Nuestra opinión Un resort de format clásico (piscinas, beach club, suites con terraza) cuya verdadera noticia no está en la arquitectura sino en la firma: es la primera apuesta de Iconic Luxury Hotels en España y en Andalucía, un grupo que hasta ahora había construido su reputación en el Reino Unido (Cliveden House) y en Florida. El posicionamiento de "slow luxury" es, por ahora, más una promesa de marketing que un rasgo distintivo verificable frente a otros resorts de la Milla de Oro; el beach club Amù, en cambio, sí es una propuesta concreta y diferenciada gracias a su filiación monegasca.

Unbelievable. The hotel itself is exceptional, from quality, vibe and attention to detail. But what I’m really leaving a review about is the team here at Gran Marbella Resort, they are all fantastic and always have a smile. The breakfast is exceptional and the restaurant for dinner blew us away. We’ve eaten at a few places in Marbella and the restaurant onsite for dinner is the best of the best. Both gyms were great and had everything you need for keeping on top of training during holiday. If you’re considering this for your stay, do it.
There are beautiful places, and then there are places with soul. Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club is one of them.
The setting is stunning, with every detail carefully considered and an atmosphere that is hard to describe and very easy to enjoy. Everything invites you to stay a little longer: the surroundings, the ambience, and that feeling of being on holiday, even if only for a few hours.
But what truly makes the difference is the team behind it all. Warm, attentive and genuinely committed to making every experience special.
It is refreshing to find places that understand that true luxury lies in the details and in how they make people feel.
Congratulations to the entire team for creating such a special destination. Without a doubt, one of those places you always look forward to returning to.
This hotel has great potential lovely building generally very polite nice staff and great swimming pools however at the moment it’s right next to a building site which starts at 7 am and is certainly not peaceful at least on one side of the Hotel. There is also a beach bar just below that has DJ nights Sundays and Wednesdays so pretty impossible to sleep until midnight. obviously this might not bother everyone .Also if you are gluten-free very few options to eat in the hotel and beach bar other than grilled seabass definitely would expect a lot more choice from a five star aspiring Hotel. Staff are very polite and try help however not quite the experience we expected.
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this resort in Marbella. From the moment we arrived, everything was simply perfect.
The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always going the extra mile without being intrusive. Every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome.
The facilities and overall product are top-notch. The pools are beautiful, well-maintained, and offer plenty of space to relax, whether you’re looking for a quiet spot or something more lively. The location is ideal, close to everything yet peaceful enough to fully unwind.
Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with great attention to detail. Housekeeping was impeccable throughout our stay.
The food deserves a special mention—excellent quality across the board, with plenty of variety and consistently high standards. Every meal felt like a treat.
Overall, it’s hard to find a single fault. This is exactly what you hope for in a luxury resort, and it truly delivers on every level. We would return without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marbella.
We spent 10 days at the Gran Marbella Resort in May. It was actually quite deceiving as the place does not match with a 5-star hotel at all as I have stayed in many hotels of that category in Spain before, and this one is definitely overpriced for what it actually offers..
The food we tested at the bar and ordered with room service was below average for freshness and quality (pasta overcooked, mussels were smelly and I didn't touch them), especially for dinner.
Breakfast buffet was also very ordinary and did not match the comments I had read from other guests, as the diversity of food was not that large especially for fruit choice (orange, watermelon, melon, papaya, kiwi, pineapple sliced every day same). They added a few strawberries twice during our stay. Mostly fit for spanish taste maybe with very salty hams, sausages and mantego cheese as the best part if your blood pressure allows to eat a lot of that. You have to order coffee every time, as they have not installed self service coffee machines and the coffee is very bitter and much worse than the Nespresso capsules I drink at home.
Service was not great either. Minimal information provided upon arrival, so we had to figure it out by ourselves. Staff do not know much of hotel details and seem to ignore clients with limited language capacity if your spanish is too poor, they don't understand.
We experienced many noise issues with electric systems at night in the room and an old phone set was beeping constantly with no clear reason and they were unable to fix it.
Outside parking is very limited and always full, unless you opt for the €30 underground parking which in the middle of nowhere in a suburban district 10 km away from downtown Marbella is unbelievably expensive. Some limited spots in the streets around, though it is not so easy to find.
Swimming pools were not heated and remained very cold around 23°-24°C making pool experience a bit... chilly. So guests just lie around the pool for sunbathing or reading mostly.
Gardens are pretty small around the pools with a few plants and trees around.
Room comfort was ok but we could hear trucks moving around very often at day as the hotel delivery platform was just below and there is a construction site just across the street.
The Beach Club is the only area with a 27°C heated pool but access is allowed for guests for a €50 fee every day. I didn't dare ask if that was per person or per room, but I am pretty sure of the answer.
So the experience was not so good for €500 room, you expect a memorable experience and at least a heated pool and good food.
