Hotel Positioning
5-star Luxury resort.
Development Strategy
La Zambra is the reborn of an Andalusian icon and is meant to become a reference once again for luxury, elegance, and refinement in La Costa del Sol.
LA ZAMBRA
History & Story
In May 1986, French investor Jean Veyssade Guy opened the Byblos hotel, which became one of the most famous destinations in Costa del Sol back in the 80’s & 90’s. The hotel was the culmination of a life devoted to luxury, glamour and hospitality, and during its golden age, the hotel welcomed a multitude of personalities and members of royalty. Those days are long gone but what made and makes this place so unique and sought after has endured and still beckons. Today, La Zambra is a place tucked away from the teeming crowds of Marbella. A secluded hideout for those who want to disconnect and be whoever they want to be. For those ready and eager to discover those hidden but not-yet-forgotten stories and create some of their own. Driven by the free spirit of a dance that gives it its name, La Zambra is the new favourite place for the discerning guest. For those looking for a place to unwind and let their hedonistic souls find a new home. Where luxury is reinterpreted, rooted in the authenticity of the Spanish culture and Andalusian heritage.
