La Fonda Heritage Hotel

Marbella

From $349/ night

Three 16th-century buildings on Plaza de Santo Cristo, now Andalusia's first Relais & Châteaux hotel, with a rooftop bar.

Marbella is known for its glamorous beach clubs and marinas, but its old town, the Casco Antiguo, is something else entirely: whitewashed lanes, flower-filled balconies and small squares shaded by orange trees. Plaza de los Naranjos sits at its heart. This is where Marbella's most characterful small hotels are.

Where to stay

The old town is the place for atmosphere, restaurants and evening strolls. The Golden Mile, west towards Puerto Banús, is home to the larger luxury resorts and beach clubs.

Good to know

Marbella has around 320 days of sunshine a year. Málaga airport is about 45 minutes away by car.
