The Marbella Club

The Marbella Club is not a misnomer. Although anyone who can afford it (and that's a pretty limited group) can stay here, it's clear from the moment you arrive that many of the people here seem more comfortable than just regular guests. That's because the resort has been drawing wealthy Europeans and their families for decades. Many actually grew up coming here for holidays throughout the year. This, plus the lush tropical gardens that surround and fill the resort and hide it from the outside world, gives it an unmistakable and well-deserved air of exclusivity. Besides the beach, there is a new 18-hole golf course, a Thalassotherapy spa, fine dining, a great poolside bar, paddle tennis and, at night, some of the best discos and nightclubs in Spain. The only drawback to the place is that making a left turn out of the club's entrance, which fronts onto a busy motorway, requires skill, patience and split-second timing.
