Introducing ME Marbella, the Costa del Sol’s New Icon of Avant-Garde Luxury

ME by Meliá has made its highly anticipated debut in Andalusia following a €20 million renovation, establishing a new standard of contemporary luxury on the Costa del Sol. Strategically located between Puerto Banús and Marbella’s historic Old Town, ME Marbella brings the brand’s signature architecture, innovative beach club concept, and a Mediterranean-inspired culinary programme to one of Spain’s most coveted destinations.

Designed by Adriana and Álvaro Sans of ASAH Studio, the ME Marbella celebrates the essence of Mediterranean architecture through bold, organic forms, natural textures, and a colour palette inspired by ochres, whitewashed lime, and the blues of the sea. The property features 200 rooms, including 24 exclusive suites, each offering views over the Mediterranean, Sierra Blanca mountains, or lush interior gardens, alongside high-end amenities and spaces crafted for rest and reflection.

ME Marbella is more than a hotel. It serves as a cultural and sensory hub, hosting live music, art installations, wellness rituals, and curated experiences that connect guests with Marbella’s vibrant spirit. At its centre lies Oasis, a striking beach club with an indoor beach, inviting visitors to enjoy sunsets, rhythmic beats, and immersive atmospheres.

Dining has been curated in partnership with Pont Hospitality. La Terraza Del Med presents locally sourced Mediterranean dishes designed for slow enjoyment, Solana offers a social experience around live flame cooking, and Barlume combines inventive cocktails with authentic regional cuisine.

The property’s lifestyle approach extends to exclusive experiences, including private studio visits with artists, electric llaüt boat excursions to explore underwater landscapes, and visits to Spain’s first underwater winery. In a nod to style and identity, ME Marbella has partnered with Lacoste to produce the hotel’s team uniforms, blending sport-chic elegance with functional design.
