Nobody is a foreigner in Marbella because this cosmopolitan city is home to residents from 137 nationalities. And if we had to mention a place that embodies the essence of this glamorous corner of Spain, it would be the Marbella Club Golf Resort & Spa, a charming blend of tradition and modernity in a natural paradise on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Guests can enjoy the most exclusive luxury in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere steeped in lush gardens.The history of the Marbella Club begins in the 1940s, when an eccentric Spanish aristocrat, Ricardo Soriano, Marquis of Ivanrey, fell in love with the pleasures of Mediterranean life, and acquired a large estate not far from what is now Puerto Banus. Over the years, the property became a luxury hotel and a meeting place for the international jet set. The Arab and European aristocracy and celebrities of the moment, like Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery, to name just a few, spent countless holidays at Marbella Club. Today, it is a large luxury 5-star hotel with a spa, sumptuous suites, magnificent villas, restaurants and an excellent golf course.
The different accommodations available at the Marbella Club Golf Resort & Spa are built in the style of typical whitewashed Andalusian villages, with beautiful surroundings and amidst subtropical gardens that shelter birds and flowers throughout the year thanks to the balmy weather.
