History & Story
A tranquil oasis surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Costa Del Sol, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace has much to offer – a mild climate all year round, three world-class golf courses and a private sun-soaked beach club.
Surrounded by rolling hills, the palace is a peaceful retreat from the bustle of Marbella and Puerto Banus, yet close enough to indulge in the nightlife and shopping of those popular destinations. Nearby delights also include charming white villages perched on mountainsides and the ancient magnificence of Ronda.
A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this iconic “museum hotel” is decorated with 1,200 diverse works of art placed tastefully throughout the luxurious facilities and in the 125 beautiful spacious guestrooms, suites and pool villas. An exquisite setting for any celebration, Anantara Padierna Palace boasts a location for every occasion: six indoor venues, stunning terraces and a magnificent outdoor amphitheatre.
Named the Best Spa in Spain by the World Spa Awards 2022, Anantara Spa draws from its surroundings and offers a menu of wellness experiences infused with native ingredients. Across 2,000 square metres, the spa features Roman baths and a heated indoor pool for water-themed therapies. Other world-class facilities include a seasonal kids club and a racquet Club with tennis and paddle courts. Just five minutes from the sparkling sea, guests enjoy easy access to the hotel’s private beach club.
Across eight diverse dining destinations, elevated gastronomic experiences include fresh seafood at the Beach Club, Japanese haute cuisine at 99 Sushi Bar, Lebanese classics at Olà Beirut, Italian delights at La Loggia, authentic Andalusian fare at La Veranda and signature cocktails designed by expert mixologists. Guests can explore mouth-watering tapas in the neighbouring towns, or visit the local market to source products for a private cooking class at the hotel.
