Review

Synthesized from Forbes Travel Guide

Character and identity

Opened in July 2025 along Playa del Real de Zaragoza, one of Marbella's quieter stretches of sand, this 135-room resort leans hard into Andalusian heritage. Goddard Littlefair's interiors thread horseshoe arches, local stone and hand-cut tilework through courtyards with trickling water features that nod to traditional riads. Rooms run to a neutral Mediterranean palette with wooden accents, woven art and sitting areas; top suites add private pools or Jacuzzis. Four food and drink outlets anchor the day, from Terraza's seasonal Mediterranean cooking to the beachfront Amù Beach Club. Wellness sits at the centre, with a seven-room Spa by Champneys and a dedicated movement studio.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples and design-minded travellers who want Marbella's glamour without the Puerto Banús noise, plus wellness-led guests drawn to the Champneys spa, yoga and breathwork programme. Anyone keen on cultural immersion (olive oil tastings, flamenco, Sierra de las Nieves hikes) will find the calendar substantial.

Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting to walk to restaurants, bars and shops will find Playa del Real de Zaragoza too quiet. As a brand-new opening, expect some early-days service wrinkles, and there's no established track record to lean on yet.

Bottom line

The defining pitch here is a heritage-rich Andalusian design vocabulary paired with a serious Champneys-run wellness operation, set on a calm beach rather than in Marbella's thick of things. Book a sea-view suite, ideally with a private pool, if you're coming for stillness and the spa. Opening-rate windows through the first season are the moment to try it before pricing settles.
