Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort

This was my second time visiting this incredible hotel. The service was just as incredible as the first time in December 2023. My biggest highlight was seeing the same staff, with the same smiles and most wonderful service. For me it's the service that stands out at this hotel, and thats the true luxury. The staff are the nicest people, and I would recommend this hotel any day. I'll be back for sure. Also this hotel definitely competes way above Europe standards and definitely a globally excellent hotel. Having traveled across Europe and to many other countries this is a personal favorite for sure.

We stayed here for two nights for our anniversary, and this property is truly a dream come to life. From the moment we entered the majestic driveway and saw the stunning golf lawns, we knew our stay would be special—but the hotel exceeded every expectation. The staff upgraded us to a beautiful room for our anniversary and made us feel genuinely cherished. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail were flawless. Room service was exceptional, the valet service was absolutely worth it, and every interaction felt personal and thoughtful. The spa facilities were a complete indulgence—the hammam, salt bath, and heated pool were such a treat that we barely wanted to leave the hotel for our planned activities. It truly felt like living inside a palace, wrapped in comfort, luxury, and care. The property itself is so stunning that it becomes an experience in its own right. We had the most magical two days here. Anantara Villa Padierna Palace sets a standard far above typical European luxury and is easily one of the best hotels to stay at in Europe. A stay here is pure joy, and we left wishing we could’ve stayed much longer.

We had a wonderful experience at Anantara Vila Padierna Palace. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, very elegant and peaceful, with stunning surroundings and excellent service throughout our stay. The room was spotless, the facilities were top-class, and the atmosphere felt truly luxurious and comfortable- relaxing! A special thank you to Antonio Pineda , who was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful — always making sure everything was perfect and making us feel genuinely welcome.

We stayed at Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort in two rooms on the third floor. The property is stunning, elegant, and beautifully maintained. However, we did occasionally notice the smell of smoke in the hallway between our rooms, which took away slightly from an otherwise wonderful stay.|Breakfast was amazing, offering an impressive variety of delicious options each morning. The pool area was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for relaxing. And the SPA was exceptional. I genuinely loved the facilities and treatments; it was one of the highlights of our stay.|My only real complaint is the SPA’s hours, which are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. While understandable, I wish they would open earlier or stay open later. During a vacation, those are the hours you are often out sightseeing, and it would be wonderful to enjoy the spa either before heading out or after returning from a long day.|Overall, the resort is beautiful and offers an outstanding experience, with just a few adjustments that could make it truly perfect. We still had a fantastic stay and would happily return.

A very pleasant stay. Very helpful personnel. Comfortable hotel, exquisite breakfast offer. A nice spa (but why bathing suits in the saunas)? Golf literally from hotel backyard. Great courses. An interesting variety of restaurants, tasty food (loved crêpes Suzette). Missed a shoehorn in the room (maybe it just wasn’t replaced).

We have spent one week in paradise. All aspects of this hotel are perfect: it is situated in a fantastic area with beautiful landscapes, the staff are friendly and always prompt to serve the guests, and the restaurants offer excellent food. The breakfast is the best I’ve seen so far, with a wide variety of fruits, juices, and other fresh, high-quality options. The hotel has a private area on the beach, with everything you need to enjoy a wonderful time by the sea. I especially loved the excellent seafood options. In the bars and restaurants, you can enjoy great music and professional singers. In summary, my family and I had a fantastic time at Anantara! It is a very good choice for enjoying the Costa del Sol.

We stayed there for two nights and it was truly magical! We had drinks at the bar and spent the mornings at the breakfast table for quite some time. Taking in the beautiful views and enjoying the best service! We also enjoyed the spa which is a definite must! We did all the circuits. It was a really nice experience overall! Enrique at the parking service was our favourite staff member!

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace is truly a luxurious retreat. Every corner reflects elegance and richness, and the staff are exceptional — friendly, attentive, and professional. The room and bathroom were among the largest I’ve ever seen, beautifully decorated with contemporary style and a modern touch. The amenities exceeded my expectations, and the spacious terrace offered a stunning view of the landscaped gardens. Breakfast was delicious, with thoughtful details from the open-air serving area to the warm smiles of the waiters. The facilities — including the pool, spa, and golf course — are outstanding and perfectly maintained.||Warm thanks to the Anantara management and team for such an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be back soon!

This place is kind of what you'd get if you crossed Lady Penelope's secret hideout with a honeymoon setting that Europe's chicest young royals might run to. Villa Padierna is a Ritz Carlton property set amidst the Flamingo golf course that was built in the style of a Tuscan Villa. So convincing is the décor with antique furniture, paintings and cool marble interiors it's easy to believe you're in Italy! Only 112 bedrooms ensure that the grounds and public areas feel incredibly exclusive. Beautiful event rooms are enhanced by a purpose-built outdoor amphitheatre for 400 people and 20 private villas. Definite princess potential as you sleep in sleigh beds, lounge in white fluffy robes and bathe amidsy white marble under chandeliers. The lobby and general areas were hushed - we kind of felt like we were a bit too plebby to be there so kept to ourselves, but the gardens and fountains were genuinely lovely to walk in. 5 star to the maximum, but bring your best manners and luggage.
