El lugar

Junto a la playa de El Padrón, en primera línea de mar en Estepona, a unos 20 minutos de Puerto Banús y 30 de Marbella.

El concepto

El edificio abrió en 1999 como Kempinski Hotel Bahía, bajo el patrocinio del aristócrata Alfonso de Hohenlohe, y fue el primer hotel de cinco estrellas de Estepona, con todas sus habitaciones orientadas al mar. Tras cerca de un cuarto de siglo bajo esa bandera, Meliá Hotels International adquirió y renovó el hotel en menos de un año, conservando buena parte de su carácter original —incluidas cerca de 130 obras cerámicas, dibujos y lienzos del artista alemán Stefan Szczesny, que pasó cuatro años trabajando junto a estos muros—, y lo reabrió en julio de 2026 como Hacienda del Mar, primer establecimiento de la nueva marca de lujo The Meliá Collection en la Costa del Sol y quinto hotel de lujo del grupo en Andalucía. La propiedad se extiende sobre unos 45.000 metros cuadrados de jardines.

Gastronomía y bienestar

Cuatro espacios gastronómicos: Neguri Beach Club, centrado en cocina mediterránea de mar con espíritu de club náutico; Burladero, con una relectura contemporánea de la cocina andaluza y producto local; Almenara, dedicado al desayuno; y Umbral, el bar del lobby. El MAIA SPA suma seis salas de tratamiento, piscina climatizada cubierta, sauna finlandesa y baño de vapor, junto a tres piscinas exteriores.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Dream — Hacienda del Mar Has Stolen Our Hearts We are currently mid-stay with two more days to go, and I already feel the need to write this review because a place this special deserves to be celebrated in real time. From the moment we arrived, Hacienda del Mar set a standard that, quite frankly, we weren’t prepared for. The grounds are immaculate — lush, manicured, and utterly stunning. Every corner of this property has been cared for with genuine pride, and it shows in every single detail. The front desk team deserves a special mention. Helpful, warm, and genuinely attentive — they made check-in seamless and have been responsive every time we’ve needed anything. That kind of service is rarer than it should be. Teresa, Juan, and the entire front desk team at Hacienda del Mar were an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, it was clear they genuinely cared — every request was handled with a smile, whether it was making restaurant reservations, arranging airport transfers, or resolving any issues that came up. In all the hotels we’ve stayed at, we’ve never experienced service quite like this. Other hotels could learn a thing or two from this team. They set the bar high, and they make it look effortless. And then there’s the guest experience manager Abel Lopez — an absolute standout. It’s one thing to run a beautiful hotel; it’s another to personally greet guests the way he does. His presence is felt throughout the property and his warmth is completely authentic. You can tell the entire team takes their cues from him, and it elevates the whole experience. The pools are simply gorgeous — heated and pristine, the kind you never want to leave. We’ve spent hours by the water soaking up the Estepona sun, completely at ease. As for the food — honestly, it’s too good. We’ve been blown away at every sitting. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It rivals standalone restaurants we’ve dined at across Spain. Two days left and we’re already dreading the goodbye. Hacienda del Mar is one of the finest hotels we have ever stayed in — full stop. If you’re considering it, stop deliberating and just book. You won’t regret a single moment. — A very happy (and already nostalgic) guest

A wonderful property with some exceptional members of staff. Food quality is remarkable also. Estepona is definitely worth a visit and so is a great Beach complex with many restaurant options 10 minutes away by foot (the hotel recommended Mar de Sazzon and it was great). Very happy with our choice.

Our time at Meliá Hacienda del Mar was absolutely spectacular. The resort is stunning, but the highlight of our trip was definitely Helvia. She is an absolute gem—warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. Helvia consistently went above and beyond with a smile, making us feel incredibly welcome and pampered throughout our entire stay. Outstanding service in a beautiful paradise. We can't wait to return!

Really good hotel. The service is really good, the room cleaning is excellent. The breakfast is good, although the buffet choice is limited, but you always can order from the menu. The swimming pool is amazing, lots of green area! Very chill to spend the whole afternoon just lying there. Kids club is amazing, my son is still taking about going to the kids club those days. one recommendation will be opening the window often, as there is newly painted area. Will be good for allergic travelers. Amazing hotel, will repeat for sure.

A great, but somewhat old hotel that’s still being upgraded day by day! My small family of three (wife and 10 months old daughter) spent 10 days here last week of April. We had a lovely time at the hotel and would absolutely recommend it. I must also add that our first two nights were a bit troublesome as we first got a room without the terrace we had asked for and in the next room the aircondition was not fully working and it became pretty hot during the night (although the outside temperature was not high). However, our issues was dealt with properly by Abel (and Olaf) who gave us an amazing room for our remaining 8 days. So an extra thanks to both of them. Abel also made sure my wife’s 32 year birthday was taken care of with cake and sparkling wine, thanks a lot for that! I would also like to emphasize the impressive work of the house keeping staff, very thorough and frequently which made our stay with a baby much easier. If I should put my finger on something else, it would be that the half board does not offer a buffet option, but rather a menu that you chose between 2 alternatives for each course. This is something that would be nice to know beforehand! All in all, a very good experience! Would come back. 4,5/5 stars.
