A Bold New Landmark Between Puerto Banús and Marbella’s Old Town

ME by Meliá, the luxury lifestyle brand from Meliá Hotels International, has made its long-anticipated Andalusian debut with the opening of ME Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Perfectly located between the glamour of Puerto Banús and the historic charm of Marbella’s Old Town, the hotel marks a new chapter in the evolution of Mediterranean luxury.

Renowned architects Adriana and Álvaro Sans of ASAH Studio led the design of ME Marbella, transforming the property into a visually striking space that pays homage to Mediterranean architecture. The building has been reimagined with organic forms, clean lines, and natural materials such as lime, stone, and textured plaster. The color palette draws inspiration from local elements: earthy tones from the mountains, crisp white lime, and calming sea hues—all contributing to a harmonious blend of heritage and modernity.

200 Rooms and 24 Luxury Suites with Panoramic Views

ME Marbella features 200 rooms, including 24 exclusive suites, each designed to provide a sanctuary of style and comfort. Guests can enjoy sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea, the Sierra Blanca mountains, or the hotel’s tranquil interior gardens. Every room is equipped with high-end amenities, offering a refined balance of functionality and sophistication.

Oasis Beach Club: The Social Heart of the Hotel

At the center of ME Marbella’s lifestyle concept is The Oasis, an innovative beach club that includes an indoor beach—designed to blur the lines between indoor elegance and outdoor energy. This space serves as a social hub where music, culture, wellness, and design converge. Guests can expect curated DJ sessions, artistic exhibitions, and immersive wellness programs that capture the spirit of modern Marbella.

Curated Dining by Pont Hospitality

In collaboration with Pont Hospitality, a leader in lifestyle gastronomy, ME Marbella introduces three signature culinary concepts:
La Terraza del Med: A serene space serving seasonal Mediterranean cuisine crafted with locally sourced ingredients.
Solana: Centered around open-flame cooking, this restaurant offers bold flavors in an inviting, earthy setting.
Barlume: A chic and vibrant bar delivering inventive cocktails alongside Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Each venue has been designed not just as a place to eat, but as an experience that embodies the brand’s creative and social DNA.

Style Meets Identity: Lacoste-Designed Uniforms
As part of ME by Meliá’s commitment to design-driven branding, the hotel has partnered with iconic fashion house Lacoste to create stylish new uniforms for its staff. The collaboration reinforces the brand’s fusion of fashion, lifestyle, and service, bringing a fresh and elegant aesthetic to the guest experience.
