Sep 2, 2026Review: Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club
Costa del Sol regularly attracts throngs of sunseekers who’ve come to bask on the pebble-and sand-covered shoreline and soak up the vibes of an Andalusian summer. And with the recent partial solar eclipse and the promise of full totality sweeping across the area Aug. 2, 2027, the southern Spanish region is especially en vogue. That includes Marbella, the glitzy playground dotted with boutique hotels, exclusive coastal enclaves and elevated Mediterranean dining. But even when celestial bodies aren’t putting on a show, one new property delivers a trifecta of beach, beauty and buzz, with a distinctly more relaxed take on the Marbella experience.
