Hotel Puente Romano - Marbella

Located in Andalusia’s ‘Golden Mile’ between Marbella and Puerto Banús, the Puente Romano is where the stars spend their holidays. Come and experience the star treatment for yourself. With former guests including Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor and Antonio Banderas, this is the place to enjoy the best of the Costa del Sol. The complex is arranged as a village of traditional-style villas surrounded by lagoon swimming pools and precious subtropical gardens, which cascade down to a private beach club on the Mediterranean Sea. You can also imagine yourself as a tennis star at the professional tennis club, whose clay courts have hosted ATP events. Golfers, meanwhile, can head to the hotel’s own club, the Marbella Club Golf Resort, set in the hills overlooking this prestigious resort.

Relax around the hotel’s 3 swimming pools, 2 of which are heated in winter, where you will find a free towel service and pool-side bars. You can also lie back on a sun lounger with a refreshing drink from the beach club at the property’s own private Mediterranean beach. While you relax, children can play at the supervised kid’s club or in the children’s pool. Stay in shape with a trip to the complex’s high-tech gym facility, where you can enjoy a professional class in pilates, aerobics or yoga, or a session in the sauna or Turkish bath. Then, head to the thalassotherapy centre at the adjacent Marbella Club for a session of pampering – treatments include anti-stress, aromatherapy, facials, massages and other beauty treatments. You can even try horse riding at the equestrian centre located at the hotel’s golf resort.
