Best Luxury Hotels in Spain

The Gran Hotel Miramar has brought 5-star glamour back to Malaga capital, the birthplace of Picasso. Opened in 1926 by Alfonso XIII, the hotel has been completely restored and the new interior design is different for each floor being decorated in a different style, these being either Arabic, Mediterranean or Modernist. Book one of the extraordinary signature suites, the Crown Suite (with a circular bed!); or the Royal Suite with its exceptional and expansive private, sea-facing terrace. This hotel is situated in the heart of the city of Malaga, so there are plenty of shops and museums within walking distance.

Experience serene luxury at La Zambra Resort, a 5-star property in Mijas, set in the Andalusian foothills between Málaga and Marbella and close to Fuengirola. Once known as the Byblos Hotel, this iconic resort has welcomed royalty and rock stars since 1986. Indulge in the Costa del Sol’s largest spa and wellness centre, relax by three beautiful pools, and enjoy exceptional Mediterranean cuisine at any of our four restaurants. The resort features carefully restored Andalusian architecture, charming courtyards, and original stone fountains, all framed by scenic mountains and renowned sunsets. Each room offers a private terrace, and a complimentary breakfast is included with every stay. Immerse yourself in authentic local experiences, from Flamenco performances to olive oil tastings.

H10 Croma is Malaga’s latest city-centre hotel, a strikingly contemporary structure, paying homage to the creative and cultural heritage of this vibrant Andalucian city. The hotel offers guests elegant light-filled rooms that reflect a modern Mediterranean vibe, a gym, meeting rooms, a relaxed lobby bar, tapas bar, and a signature rooftop restaurant, with a terrace, plunge pool and yes, certainly some of the best views of the city! Malaga is the city that everyone is talking about. For its culture, galleries, and boho arts scene; the gastronomy from fine dining to beachside seafood; and of course, the best climate in Europe. This could be the ideal hotel for your next city break.

Located beside the ocean, NH is also a short walk to the Naval Museum and Roman Theatre. Its 100 rooms offer views of either the sea or the city, many with balconies, some interconnecting and all decorated in a signature wenge brown and white colour palette. Rooms are categorised as either Standard, Superior, Superior XL rooms or Junior Suites – all of which have climate control (much needed in this part of the world), bathrobes and a minibar. The hotel’s Cibus Gastrobar overlooks the main square and specialises in gin and bite-sized Mediterranean tapas. A healthy, European-style buffet breakfast is served daily.

Just steps from the Mediterranean coastline, the St. Regis Mardavall Majorca Resort is a top choice for those who want quick access to beautiful beaches. From their basic rooms all the way up to diamond suites, the decor is lavish yet tasteful. The full spa and fitness facility is among the best on the island, and it serves as a place where guests can completely unwind and relax in paradise. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the four courses as well as a golf academy, which is where you can perfect your swing or get advice from a professional golfer. Dining is exceptional, and guests can dig into gourmet cuisine at Aqua or indulge in some tapas with cocktails by the pool.

Back in the 16th century, this mansion house on the Passeig de Colom was the home of a nobleman. Now restored as a boutique hotel, it riffs on minimalism, making the most of local wood and stone in the decor. Rooms come with welcome cakes and chocolates and Nespresso coffee machines, some with views of the port. Dine on tapas dishes in the restaurant or on the rooftop terrace (where you’ll also find its two open-air pools). Take light night drinks in the monochrome cocktail lounge and have a tinkle on its grand piano — snacks and pastries are provided here during the afternoons.

This 5 star Ushuaia Beach Hotel is synonymous with the best music and clubbing on the island, in fact, it’s the hotel that defined the Ibiza party scene. Located just 15 minutes from the airport at Playa d’en Bozza beach, this adults-only hotel offers 415 luxury rooms and suites across The Ushuaïa Club and Ushuaïa Tower. The resort has three outdoor pools, with sun loungers and Bali beds while the three on-site restaurants mean you never have to leave the resort.

This is the ultimate luxury hotel for those seeking one of the best clubbing experiences on the island.

Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza is right on the legendary Playa d’en Bossa, an easy 15-minute transfer from the island’s airport. The Hotel captures the all-American buzz of the Hard Rock brand and fuses it with the warmth and friendliness of Ibiza hospitality. So, expect some sparkling Rock Star treatment, like Valet Parking and private VIP private check-in. There are almost 500 guest rooms, from Deluxe rooms to swim-up suites; and a striking Spa. TATEL Ibiza Restaurant is the hotel’s theatrical and flamboyant signature restaurant that really rocked. Think great cocktails, and gourmet food, all set to live DJ sets. Service is professional, yet with the Hard Rock Edge, a young and dynamic team that makes sure guests have a great evening.

Just along from the Palace, is the White Island resort. It’s slightly bigger than its sibling in terms of accommodation with 430, versus 410, bedrooms. As the property is set beside the island’s longest beach on one side and overlooking the Ses Salines Nature Reserve on the other, you can opt for a seafront suite with your own jacuzzi. It offers many similar facilities as the Palace, such as a Zentropia Spa, kids’ activities at the mini club and junior club, a total of ten places to eat and drink and freeform pools fringed with palm trees.

This takes joint place (with its fellow Grand Palladium) as the largest all-inclusive hotel on the island. The family-friendly Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa Ibiza is found in Playa d’en Bossa in Ibiza, alongside a seemingly endless stretch of white sand, close to Ibiza’s best nightclubs. Stay active on the tennis courts, archery field and beach volleyball court, take an exercise class or swim in the four freshwater pools (one of which is beside the sea). Relax at the Zentropia Spa & Wellness Centre and be entertained with a night at the onsite theatre. Eat at the four à la carte restaurants (including three show cooking restaurants and one on the top terrace) and drink in six bars. Guests can also access the facilities at its sister property Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa Ibiza.

Guests can enjoy a 5-star luxury experience here at the Ibiza Gran Hotel which is just a short walk from the Port of Ibiza, however, with so much to do and experience at the hotel, it’s unlikely guests will want to venture too far.

The Casino de Ibiza is also integrated with the hotel, where guests can take their chances in the games room, at the poker table or on the slot machines – all set in beautifully designed architecture and a glamorous ambience. Rooms and suites are spacious with lots of little details, for that personal touch, and boast picturesque views of the Mediterranean and Ibiza town. The food and drink experience here is second to none, with exquisite and varied dining options served throughout the day; from a light bite by the pool to a more formal and artistic experience at the Michelin Star La Gaia by Óscar Molina. Guests will enjoy a truly indulgent experience at every level.
