Hotels for the spring bank holiday 2026 in Marbella, Spain

Reborn as a players’ destination, Marbella is gilded with old-school glam. The Costa de Sol’s classiest joint is looking spruce, its avenidas made over with palm trees and marble pavements. Go for the exclusivity of the boutiques, the rat-pack appeal of the casinos, and the unashamed glitz of the nightlife, but don’t miss the old town, with the Plaza de los Naranjos at its heart.
