Don Carlos Marbella
Marbella, Spain
Perched on the golden southern Spanish coastline, Don Carlos Marbella is an iconic landmark of Mediterranean luxury, situated just footsteps from Marbella’s vibrant centre. A symbol of Andalusian elegance since 1969, founded by the famed hotelier Conrad Hilton, it embodied the birth of luxury tourism in this region. Today, it has been thoughtfully redesigned to centre around a refined and contemporary beachfront experience, framed by beautifully landscaped gardens and stunning Mediterranean Sea views.
The resort’s 308 rooms, suites, and private residences are appointed to ensure comfort and style, many with generous terraces offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean – a rare feature in Marbella, or manicured garden vistas. From classic guest rooms to expansive suites and residences with direct pool access, accommodation is designed to suit discerning leisure and family stays alike.
The culinary scene offers a variety of experiences showcasing the flavours of the Mediterranean, from classic Andalusian dining at Los Naranjos to relaxed beachfront cuisine at Sol y Sombra and other restaurant concepts. The resort also features vibrant social spaces and two beach club experiences, including Nikki Beach Marbella and Lucia Summer Club.
Wellness and leisure are integral to the Don Carlos experience. The dedicated Don Carlos Spa is enveloped by gardens and features a hydrotherapy circuit, treatment areas, heated pools, and fitness facilities, inviting guests to rejuvenate body and mind. Sports and active pursuits are also well served, with a Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre and Padel Centre, water sports, and easy access to golf, beach culture, and the vibrant attractions of nearby Marbella. For younger guests, there is an engaging kids club for children aged 4-12.
Further facilities include tropical gardens with versatile indoor and outdoor event spaces, all set within an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication.
