Waldorf Astoria is bringing a new level of luxury to Marbella. The globally renowned hotel brand, part of Hilton, has announced its first project in Spain, with an expected opening in 2029. The development represents an investment of approximately 220 million euros and will transform the historic Marbella Golf Country Club into a world-class resort combining luxury residences, hospitality, and golf.
Luxury Living and World-Class Amenities
The resort will offer 120 hotel rooms and suites alongside 120 branded residences, providing private home comfort with access to five-star services. Guests and residents will enjoy a redesigned golf course by Robert Trent Jones Jr, fine dining including the signature Peacock Alley restaurant, a 750-square-meter spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and wellness and fitness facilities. Meeting and event spaces, including a grand ballroom, will complement the luxurious lifestyle experience.
Golf at the Heart of the Experience
Golf is central to the project, with the existing course upgraded for modern play and sustainability while maintaining its classic design. The resort will attract both serious golf enthusiasts and lifestyle-focused buyers, creating a unique combination of sport, leisure, and luxury living.
Boosting Marbella’s Real Estate Market
The arrival of Waldorf Astoria is a strong signal of confidence for Marbella’s property market. Luxury branded residences have historically driven higher property values in surrounding areas and continue to attract international buyers seeking lifestyle, prestige, and long-term investment potential. The resort also increases global visibility for Marbella, attracting year-round tourism and new investment opportunities.
A Landmark Development
Waldorf Astoria Marbella is more than a hotel. It is a landmark that blends world-class hospitality, premium residences, and golf culture, reinforcing Marbella’s position as one of Europe’s most desirable destinations for luxury living and investment. The project clearly signals that Marbella’s real estate market is entering a new era of growth, quality, and international appeal.
