THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT
Don Carlos Resort & Spa
Fourteen floors of Don Carlos Resort & Spa rise ten kilometres down the coast from central Marbella, close enough to Playa de Artola that the outdoor heated pool feels almost redundant once you notice the beach starts right outside. The 308-room property pairs full conference and business facilities (a conference hall, a business centre, a library) with a sports roster many beach hotels skip entirely: a gym, tennis and paddle courts, table tennis, volleyball, and its own Rafa Nadal Tennis Center, a name you will not find attached to the resort next door. Families get a kids club, a playroom, a children's pool and family rooms; couples get the Don Carlos SPA, with sauna, steam room, solarium and massage treatments, plus buffet breakfasts, à la carte dinners at Los Naranjos and poolside lunches at Sol y Sombra. It suits people who want the whole machine running, golf tee times or spa treatments booked ahead, a gala dinner slotted into the calendar, staff who answer in English, Spanish, German, Russian, French or Turkish. It suits less anyone hoping for a quiet, three-room address where nobody else is in the lift; this is a 308-room, 14-floor operation and it reads like one. The extras stay itemised rather than folded into the rate: parking runs 27.50 EUR a day, an airport transfer is 95 EUR one way, and pets stay for 90 EUR a night, worth knowing if the dog is coming too. Check-in starts at 3pm, check-out is noon, and late arrivals after 10pm are asked to call ahead. What stays with you afterward is less the scale than the courts carrying Rafa Nadal's name. Don Carlos Resort & Spa is a 308-room, 14-floor resort ten kilometres from central Marbella, by Playa de Artola, with its own Rafa Nadal Tennis Center. It suits families and tennis players wanting the full resort machine running, not those chasing a small, quiet address.

Originally a fixture of Marbella's golden era, the hotel has been reimagined by designer Jaime Beriestain, whose Andalusian-inflected interiors fill the property with light and character. The result is a beachfront address that guests describe as something felt and lived in rather than simply visited, carrying its history into a contemporary five-star setting.
