The Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort occupies a peaceful estate in Los Flamingos, on the heights of the Costa del Sol, between Benahavís, Marbella and Estepona. Designed in the spirit of a Tuscan palace, the resort is surrounded by gardens, a lake and three golf courses. Its galleries, lounges, rooms and outdoor spaces house more than 1,200 works of art, while a Roman-inspired amphitheatre reinforces its theatrical, monumental character.

The property currently brings together 125 rooms, suites and villas, spread between the main building and more private residences. The accommodations combine classic furniture, rugs, wood panelling, travertine bathrooms and original works of art. Some categories feature a terrace with views over the gardens, lake, mountains or golf courses, while the one- and two-bedroom villas offer generous living spaces and, for several of them, a private pool.

The Anantara Spa is one of the resort’s key highlights, with more than 2,000 m² dedicated to well-being. Its circuit includes a heated indoor pool, cold plunge pool, sea-salt hammam, Greek and Finnish saunas, aromatic steam baths, a floatarium and ten treatment rooms. Guests also benefit from a fitness centre, a racket sports club, an outdoor pool and immediate access to the Flamingos, Alferini and Tramores courses.

The culinary offering brings together several restaurants and bars with varied identities. La Loggia highlights Mediterranean cuisine with Italian influences, while 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant offers a contemporary take on Japanese gastronomy. La Pérgola accompanies days by the pool, and By the Sea Beach Club serves fish, seafood, paellas and local specialties facing the Mediterranean. Private experiences, Andalusian cooking classes and bespoke dinners round out the gastronomic experience.

Why choose this journey

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace is particularly well suited to travellers seeking a truly ultra-luxury resort—peaceful and spacious—without being cut off from Marbella and Puerto Banús’ key addresses. Its palatial architecture, gardens and significant art collection give it a more distinctive personality than a classic seaside resort. Golf enthusiasts have three courses directly around the estate, while the vast thermal spa makes it possible to plan a stay entirely devoted to relaxation and well-being. Couples will appreciate the terrace suites, pool villas, private dinners and the romantic atmosphere of the gardens. Families benefit from connecting rooms, large villas and seasonal activities, while the beach club brings the Mediterranean within minutes. The Roman amphitheatre, chapel, terraces and lounges also make it a remarkable address for weddings, private celebrations and high-end corporate events.
