Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella

In Marbella’s Los Monteros area on the Costa del Sol, this Kimpton-branded resort leans into the city’s 1970s “golden years” with a modern, boutique-scale feel and a strong focus on food, pools and wellbeing. The hotel has 60 rooms and suites, dressed in Mediterranean colours and textures, with thoughtful design rather than showy excess. Days tend to orbit the gardens, the main pool and the rooftop Escondido, where an infinity pool and open-air tables frame long sunsets. Dining ranges from locally sourced, contemporary plates at Jara to cocktails and casual bites across the bars, while Beach Club La Cabane by Dolce&Gabbana sits a short walk away on the sand. A full spa adds water circuits, indoor pool, sauna and hammam, and golfers benefit from nearby courses with partner arrangements; tennis and padel are covered via the on-site racket club and trainers.
