Marbella has long been a popular destination for holidaymakers looking to soak up some sun, sea and sand – and just a short flight from the UK. It's also a celebrity hotspot favoured by A-listers such as Eva Longoria and Simon Cowell, as well as many British reality stars including TOWIE favourites (anyone remember the phrase ‘no carbs before Marbs’?).
For those in search of an adults-only trip to rest, relax and recuperate, Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella is the ideal destination. Nestled on the beachfront in the heart of the city, it's got a chic Mediterranean vibe that makes all your troubles disappear from the second you step into the lobby. With a sparkling pool overlooked by palm trees rustling in the breeze, a host of fabulous restaurants to dine at and a luxurious spa for the ultimate relaxation, Amàre Beach is the perfect place to escape to for a long weekend or a restful week in the sun.
Looking for more of a party scene? The famous port of Puerto Banús, in all its yacht-filled glory, is just a ten minute taxi away, while for those who love to explore, Marbella Old Town is just a few minutes' walk down the promenade from the hotel.
The rooms at Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella
The light and airy aesthetic of the hotel spills into the rooms and suites. With modern white and blue decor, it feels like they're an extension of the pool and beach outside. There are a range of bedrooms available to suit any budget, starting from €188 (approx. £160) per night for the ‘I Was Here’ room, best for those who aren’t looking to spend a lot of time in bed during their Marbella trip (hello, Puerto Banús).
For couples looking for that extra bit of comfort, splash out on the ‘Oh Là Là The One’ suite (from €361, approx. £309, per night), which includes exclusive access to The One Lounge where snacks and drinks are available.
Dining at Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella
Following a restful night's sleep, hotel guests can fill up at the Mare Nostrum Restaurant, where a full buffet breakfast is served, plus fresh omelettes cooked-to-order and fluffy pancakes piled high with your favourite toppings.
There are plenty of places for dinner at the hotel, but the standout is undoubtedly Amàre Beach Restaurant, which serves up a diverse menu of Latin American fusion cuisine. From sumptuous sushi to traditional Spanish tapas, huge salads (they really are ginormous), delicious pasta and succulent meats cooked to perfection in the charcoal oven, there’s something for every palate here. With the waves lapping the shore and an expertly crafted cocktail in hand, it's the perfect place to while away the afternoon and evening, and somewhere you’ll be daydreaming about when you're back in the office.
For a more formal evening meal head to Amàre Lounge for à la carte cuisine paired with a selection of Spanish wine. Before dinner, make sure to stop by the Belvue rooftop bar to catch views of the sun setting over the Mediterranean Sea. A live DJ will set the scene as you take in the stunning scenery, and make treasured holiday memories.
The spa at Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella
The ultimate indulgence awaits at the Amàre Spa, which uses top skincare brand Germaine Capuccini. Allow yourself to drift off as the skilled spa staff buff, polish and massage you into a sense of tranquillity.
The spa offers a range of treatments from expert facials to Tibetan massages, but the real jaw-drop moment comes when you lay your eyes on the spa's wet room, with a spacious spa pool and hot tub, soft lighting and a star-lit ceiling creating the perfect ambience after a relaxing treatment. If you're visiting as a group, don't miss out on a ‘sparty’, with packages starting from €35 (approx. £30) per person.
What else can you do at Amàre Beach Hotel Marbella?
If your day isn't complete without the release of some exercise-induced endorphins, Amàre Beach Hotel boasts a fully-equipped gym, with the opportunity to also book time with a personal trainer.
In search of something slightly slower paced? Why not opt for a spot of sunrise yoga, which takes place on the pier to the front of the hotel, before you head off for breakfast?
