Villa Padierna Marbella (Golf & Spa), Benahavís

Experience the best of the Costa del Sol – golfing, relaxation, sun and delicious cuisine – at this exclusive, palace-style hotel.

Styled as a Tuscan palace, the Villa Padierna lies in the hills just outside the upmarket resort of Marbella. It is surrounded by the prestigious Flamingos Golf Club and its own exquisite gardens. Relax with a stroll through these grounds or with a session in the hotel’s state-of-the-art spa centre.

The property is set just 1 km from the beaches of the Costa del Sol. From its mountainside setting you get a magical view across the water to Africa, and a spectacular sunset most evenings.

The hotel’s thermal spa centre covers 2,000 m² and features 12 treatment rooms, 6 steam baths and 2 saunas. After a relaxing session here you can cool off in the heated indoor swimming pool. You can also dive into the splendid outdoor pool and take advantage of the warm Andalusian sunshine.

Other unique features found on the property include a Roman-style amphitheatre and a wedding chapel. These are found in the extensive gardens, filled with ornate flower beds and charming fountains and ponds.

Inside the building you can take in the timeless charm of classic Tuscany. Here you will find elegant columns, sculptures and inviting fireplaces.

Look out over the golf course, gardens, pool and Roman amphitheatre from your guestroom. Rooms are divided into 3 wings: Villa Padierna, Linares and the Amphitheater, with some enjoying access to their own balcony. All have Frette linen bedding on feather beds, fully stocked refreshment cabinets and sitting areas with cable TV. Each one also has a large Travertine bathroom with a bath and separate rain shower, as well as a separate WC with bidet.
