Marbella’s many spa and wellness centres

The 300-plus days of sunshine annually are a major factor in keeping the residents of Marbella and the Costa del Sol feeling in tip-top form. All that vitamin D keeps us healthy, but there are times when even we need a boost. Since many of our overseas visitors also want to spend their vacation time taking care of their health and de-stressing, it is a good thing that Marbella is home to some of Europe’s finest spa and wellness centres, a number of which are found in the area’s five star hotels. Among the finest of these are the Marbella Club and the Gran Meliá Don Pepe, or the Villa Padierna and Kempinski hotels just across the ‘border’ in neighbouring Estepona.
