This week’s Project of the Week is the W Marbella, an upcoming luxury resort in the Spanish holiday hotspot on the Costa del Sol. 

Branded residences

The W Marbella and The Residences at W Marbella are scheduled to open in 2027. 

Developed in partnership with Sunrise Inversiones 2015 S.L (an affiliate of Platinum Estates Limited), the W Marbella will be located on the pristine golden sands of Playa Real de Zaragoza, just a short drive from the energetic nightlife scene of downtown Marbella.

W Marbella will offer 200 spacious guestrooms, including 26 suites and an Extreme Wow Suite – the brand’s extravagant take on the traditional Presidential Suite. 

The hotel will feature a vibrant bar and a signature restaurant; an AWAY spa complete with a beauty salon and juice bar; FIT state-of-the-art workout facility; and two WET pool decks. 

For those looking for an extraordinary venue for their next meeting, W Marbella will provide five ultra-modern meeting rooms and a covered terrace, measuring more than 10,000 square feet, ideal for outdoor parties and events.

To complement Marbella’s social scene, the W Marbella will boast its own Beach Club with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. The Beach Club at W Marbella will open before the hotel in time for the Summer 2018 season.

Third W hotel in Spain

The Residences at W Marbella will boast 100 low-rise, condominium apartments and villas available for purchase. The W-branded beachfront Residences will offer owners access to all of the hotel’s amenities and services, including preferred reservations at the hotel’s restaurants, bars and lounges; in-residence dining and STYLE housekeeping services, as well as a private pool and the brand’s signature Whatever/Whenever service promise.

W Marbella will join the brand’s robust portfolio of 50 hotels around the globe, and the hotel’s opening will make Spain the only country in Europe to boast three W Hotels.

The W Marbella will be joining the acclaimed W Barcelona, which redefined Spain’s hospitality scene since it opened in 2009, as well as the W Madrid.
