The charming allure of Marbella never fails to draw visitors. For decades the Costa Del Sol has welcomed the creme de la creme of high society from Grace Kelly and her husband Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as Audrey Hepburn.
Even King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia was known to frequent Marbella regularly up before his death in 2005
With some of the best weather the Mediterranean has to offer and the world’s most beautiful beaches, the Spanish destination has recently upped the ante by welcoming a new luxury lifestyle hotel to its coast.
Enter the Mett Hotel & Beach Resort Marbella. Situated in the resort town of Estepona, the Mett brings a new offering to the Andalusian hotspot. The Mett Hotel & Beach Resort, owned by Dubai-based group Sunset Hospitality, made its way to the Spanish Isles last year following a hugely successful debut in Bodrum in 2021.
The Stay
Encompassing the ‘lifestyle property’ concept for which Mett has become known for, the five-star hotel features 249 rooms and suites which frame the hotel’s central pool, with many boasting uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Blending traditional Spanish architecture and interiors with modern elements, all of the rooms feel airy and spacious embodying a true sense of escapism. All of the accommodation offerings range from deluxe double rooms to sizeable two-bedroom suites with their own private pools.
Cleverly designed in its signature U-shape, every area of the resort is easily accessed no matter where your room is situated.
The Dining & Lifestyle
The Mett comes complete with a variety of restaurant offerings, including Isola Ristorante Italiano and Greek restaurant Ammos, plus vibrant beach club Azure Beach.
By way of its main gastronomy offering, Isola takes centre stage. It’s where a buffet breakfast with a la carte options for guests is served in its spacious venue with indoor and outdoor seating. For guests seeking a relaxed dining setting for dinner, Isola is the place to go on the resort. With a selection of Italian classic dishes and an extensive wine menu, it’s the ideal spot to end an idyllic day. The GRAZIA team suggests going just before the sun sets for an extra ambience.
Lunch-wise either opt for a relaxed sit-down meal at the resort’s Greek and Mediterranean restaurant Ammos. Described as bringing “Greek chic” to the Andalusian coast, Ammos brings it back to basics when it comes to flavours and it’s evident in its offerings, from fresh fish to hero Grecian dishes including orzo pasta and souvlaki.
For the sun-worshippers and permanent poolsiders, Azure Beach will be your best friend at the Mett Resort. With a variety of luxurious sun loungers and double sun beds, relax poolside in complete serenity and choose from a curated pan-Asian menu with sharing-style dishes. There’s also private cabanas for added privacy and an extra luxurious experience.
The Location
While the location of the Mett is slightly out of the way from the hustle and bustle of Marbella, a drive 30 minutes down the road will bring you to the heart of the old town. And if you’re looking for a night out on the town, just 20 minutes away, lies the likes of Dubai’s very own Gaia restaurant, Coya, Nobu and more.
But for those looking to simply escape to the coast and enjoy an all-encompassing beach holiday, the Mett has everything (and more) right at your finger tips.
Complete with a variety of restaurant offerings, including Isola Ristorante Italiano and Greek restaurant Ammos, plus vibrant beach club Azure Beach, as well as a the Moi Spa, everything you could want and more is within arm’s reach for the ultimate getaway.
The Journey
For those in the UAE, there’s direct flights with Etihad from Abu Dhabi to Malaga, making the journey easy and simplified.
So, when are you booking?
