Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort

A fantastic trip. Really enjoyed the hotel & the facilities. Room was beautiful & attention to detail to really top!

We have recently been to Anantara Villa Padierna and our stay there was exceptionally marvelous. The location and views are ideal and the weather makes the best of them. The room was comfortable and we had a really nice sleep. The staff was very professional and friendly with us, we would like to congratulate Beatriz for her kindness and work with the children at the Kid’s Club. Our experience in the Spa was quite relaxing and worth going. Having lunch at La Pergola was definitely a good choice, we personally recommend the Sandwich Club they serve. We enjoyed a lot our time there and we will consider returning back in another occasion.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it quite impressive. The breakfast was particularly noteworthy, and the staff at the reception were helpful. However, I found the sushi restaurant to be a bit pricey, and the bar was average. The restaurant with a garden view didn't meet my expectations for a meal. On a positive note, the room service offered good food at a reasonable price of 10 EUR for delivery. Overall, I would consider returning in the future.

Receiving the Michelin Key underscores the Anantara Resort’s unique approach to hospitality, where the experience is thoughtfully crafted to leave a lasting impression. La Veranda, with its serene gardens and refined culinary offerings, becomes a canvas where tradition and innovation intersect. The award serves as a quiet testament not just to excellence in design or cuisine but to the subtle artistry of creating moments that resonate long after they pass.

A beautiful hotel with a serene vibe and an amazing pool – perfect for unwinding. As a Centurion member, we had booked a Junior Suite with Lake View, but it felt more like an attic room with no terrace, which was disappointing. We were told that no upgrade was available, despite one of the benefits of Centurion status being an upgrade where possible. Given how quiet the hotel was during our stay, we seriously question whether this was truly the case. Fortunately, we were later offered a different suite in a quieter building with a lovely terrace – a good solution, but not the expected upgrade. Overall, the hotel is very peaceful, which we appreciated. However, poolside service could be improved – you have to actively look for staff if you want to order something, which doesn’t quite align with a five-star experience. The pool restaurant menu was also rather unremarkable and uninspired – not what you'd expect from a hotel of this level. The hotel is a stunning setting for weddings. We stayed from Tuesday to Friday and enjoyed the calm, but by Friday they were already setting up for a weekend wedding. If you’re coming for peace and quiet, we’d recommend avoiding weekends. All in all, a beautiful place with potential – but not quite the level of service or dining you’d expect at this tier.
