Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort

19 Best Hotels in Málaga, Costa del Sol’s Scenic Capital | Condé Nast Traveler

"Perched on a hillside about 15 minutes from Estepona and Puerto Banús, this pink palace—built in 2003 as a private labor of love and now managed by Anantara—pairs grand, art-filled interiors (including 17th–19th-century oil paintings and Greco-Roman busts) with suites and villas styled for refined comfort. I noted the strong focus on golf (surrounded by three world-class courses), one of Andalusia’s largest spas, nine diverse dining options, and the resort’s theatrical, heritage-inspired décor that aims to evoke centuries of grandeur." - Marta Sader
