Gran Melia Don Pepe

The modern guestrooms of Gran Melia Don Pepe come with pleasant touches such as mini Roman-style columns and furnished balconies, which look out across either the mountains, hotel gardens or Mediterranean ocean. With tennis courts, an extensive spa of multiple treatment rooms, hammams, an indoor swimming pool and more, as well as direct access to Don Pepe Beach, there’s more than enough to keep guests of all ages both entertained and relaxed during the day. Night-times here are no different, with al fresco dining, a whisky and separate champagne bar, T-bone grill and many other dining or lounge options to choose from, picking between them is usually the hardest part of the evening! Though this resort is family-friendly and operates a fantastic kids club, there are segregated adults-only areas, pools and of course the late-night watering holes, meaning that romantic getaways or relaxing breaks are on the cards. Minutes from Paco Cantos Park and Marbella Old Town, the hotel’s location is also a big plus if looking to venture into the surrounding region.
