Marbella Club Hotel

A royal retreat since Prince Alfonso made this fig-surrounded finca his holiday hideaway in 1947, the Marbella Club has hosted Grace Kelly, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn over the years. Along with the usual hedonistic staples (including a beach club and super spa), the Costa del Sol classic has its own 18-hole golf course, stables and pier. The Andalusian architecture includes self-contained villas tucked away in the grounds, and there’s a traditional Malagan chiringuito serving seafood on the shore.
