"Set right on the glittering coastline, the Puente Romano Marbella blends traditional Andalucian charm with modern luxury in its exquisitely designed guest rooms and convivial eateries."

In 1976, Puente Romano Marbella opened in Malaga, becoming one of the Spanish city’s very first luxury properties. Situated in a posh residential area between Marbella and Puerto Banus, the resort remains one of the region’s most enviable getaways. Set right on the glittering coastline, the beachfront bolthole feels more like a village than your typical resort, and the combination of traditional Andalucian charm with modern luxury creates an unpretentious (yet utterly fabulous) vibe that makes the place feel like a little slice of heaven against a jaw-dropping background of mountains, sea and sky.

Understated luxury is the name of the game in the whitewashed suites and villas that dot the resort’s sprawling grounds. You’ll have quite a few options to choose from, but across the board, you can expect picture-perfect spaces that expertly blend regional personality with sleek contemporary elegance. White, sand and taupe dominate the pleasantly neutral colour scheme; the shades and patterns of virtually every detail are coordinated to an impressive degree of perfection. Natural light floods the rooms from floor-to-ceiling windows; push them open to step out onto your private terrace, complete with cosy furniture and the smell of rosemary.

With two dozen drinking and dining venues to choose from, you may feel overwhelmed with choice, so we’ll make it easy: your first dinner at the resort should be at Nobu; a meal there is every bit as fabulous as one would expect from the master of Japanese-Peruvian fusion. You’re likely to be tempted to dine there a second time (and quite possibly a third), but the range of cuisines offered at the hotel is impressive, and you’ll certainly want to explore. Don’t pass up an opportunity for innovative steakhouse cuisine as dreamt up by Michelin-starred chef Dani Garcia at Lena, or the chance to dine on edible origami at Thai Gallery. If you’re in the mood for seafood and sangria (or just for a really killer mojito), the Mediterranean beach club Chiringuito should be next on your list. Have an authentic Italian dinner date at Cipriani (along with some excellent wine), or dine on fine Japanese cuisine at Purosushi. Wind down an evening (or begin one) to the sound of live music in La Plaza, the spirited heart of the resort.

The nature-inspired Six Senses Spa is an oasis of tranquillity, complete with a hydrotherapy pool, ice shower and three treatment rooms overlooking the ocean. If you prefer to stay busy, you can choose from family-friendly activities like pool parties and tennis. Otherwise, drop the children off at the kids’ or teen club and enjoy adults-only activities such as a barre class in the fitness centre, wine tastings, cooking classes and Flamenco lessons.
