Don Carlos Marbella, Marbella, Spain

• Five-star style and service: Escape to the sun and beaches of Marbella at Don Carlos Marbella.

Don Carlos Spa is a sanctuary of serenity, embraced by lush tropical gardens and designed to help you reconnect with what truly matters. The 1,600 square metre wellness area is a heaven of soft aromas, natural light, and elegant materials.

• Delectable dining: The saying goes, “no carbs before Marbs,” but here, you’ll want to indulge. Your hotel showcases the best of Marbella's gastronomic diversity, from authentic Spanish classics to internationally inspired creations - think local cuisine at world-class standards. There are ten restaurants and bars, including the chic Nikki Beach with its signature all-white style, the family-friendly Lucía Beach Club, and Manero to savour fine tapas.

• Wellness and activities aplenty: Stay active and energized during your stay at the Rafa Nadal Tennis Center, a privileged setting featuring seven clay courts framed by lush tropical gardens. Take a refreshing dip in the sea at the beach club or enjoy a round of golf at one of the nearby courses, or perhaps you prefer a yoga class (fees apply). At the beach club, a DJ keeps the atmosphere lively, and there's even something for the little ones: the kids’ club features both indoor and outdoor areas, including a brand-new splash pool for endless fun.
