Nine-course tasting breakfasts and Michelin-starred chefs. Chic low-lit libraries straight out of an interiors catalogue. A guest book featuring everyone from Walt Disney to Penélope Cruz.
These are just some of the highlights of a stay at El Fuerte, a 66-year-old iconic seaside hotel right on Marbella’s beachfront — and the latest in a string of chic new properties helping to redefine the Golden Mile’s Brits-abroad stereotype thanks to a five-star, £30 million makeover. No package holidays here. Instead, think £350 helicopter rides, glamorous old world lounge areas and private terraces with hot tubs featuring the best views in town.
