A new era begins with Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club, a five-star resort where contemporary design intertwines with the most refined Andalusian essence. Located on the serene Real de Zaragoza beach, the resort offers 135 rooms and suites, a beach club inspired by the French Riviera, Mediterranean haute cuisine, and the first European spa from the renowned British wellness brand Champneys. This new opening marks the arrival of Iconic Luxury Hotels in Andalusia, consolidating its commitment to slow luxury: a way of understanding relaxation centered on conscious disconnection.
The culinary experience is designed to complement every moment of the day with a versatile and sophisticated offering. La Terraza, the resort’s main restaurant, offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu with dishes such as linguine with seafood in garlic and lemon sauce or tuna à la malagueña. For more relaxed moments, the resort features the Garden Bar, surrounded by lush vegetation, serving cocktails with an Andalusian soul such as the Gran Rebujito or the Besos Español; the Lobby Bar offers an intimate setting for leisurely aperitifs; and the Pool Bar offers a fresher, more relaxed experience by the pool.
The space also includes Amù Beach Club, originally from Monte Carlo and destined to be one of the hotspots of the summer. Thoughtful design, intuitive service, and an immersive atmosphere invite you to linger. Every detail is conceived to reflect effortless luxury, crowned by the exclusive Signature Tableside Moment, a ritual that transforms hospitality into a spectacle. Open to both guests and the general public, its opening in August 2025 promises to become a new social hub on the Costa del Sol.
Wellness, the cornerstone of the project, is articulated through the partnership with Champneys, a British brand with almost a century of experience. Its first spa in Europe outside the United Kingdom will be located within the Amù Beach Club facilities and will offer exclusive treatments, a conscious movement studio, and personalized relaxation programs. The wellness offering is complemented by four outdoor pools and a 24-hour gym.
For Iconic Luxury Hotels, this resort represents a statement of intent. “Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club represents a new chapter for Iconic Luxury Hotels. It is our first foray into Andalusia and a firm expression of our commitment to timeless and curated hospitality. This resort is more than a destination: it is a celebration of Mediterranean culture, design, and well-being. It is an oasis in the heart of the Costa del Sol,” says Francisco Macedo, the group’s Senior Vice President of Asset Management.
With hotels such as Cliveden House, Chewton Glen, and the Hotel Excelsior in Venice, the addition of Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club to the Iconic Luxury Hotels portfolio reinforces its international expansion under a philosophy that combines heritage, design, and operational excellence in exceptional locations.
