I had a fantastic stay at Anantara Villa Padierna! The property is stunning, with beautiful surroundings that made for a peaceful and luxurious experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed. The restaurants on-site were a delight, offering delicious food and a great atmosphere. Whether you're looking to relax or explore the area, this hotel is a perfect choice. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the region!

Absolutely fabulous. A luxury hotel with a friendly staff and wonderful food offerings. The spa and golf are also exceptional. Book a stay here and you won’t need to leave the premises (nor will you want to!) A completely different vibe to the luxury resorts down on the golden mile. Relaxation at its best.

One of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels we have ever stayed in, like walking into a dream! Special thanks to the lovely Carlotta from guest services who even provided us chocolate covered strawberries in the room. We could not find fault with any aspect of our stay as the staff went above and beyond to make sure guests were comfortable, even preparing a special tomato salad on the bar terrace area for my mum and moving heaters to keep us warm. Food at the sushi restaurant and fine dining restaurant was also extremely good (although here was our only small issue as both restaurants initially gave us tables in a separate smaller room or a table in the entryway to the restaurant, saying there was no other space; when we offered to eat quickly they would change our table to a better one which we then got to keep for the night, but I think they generally keep the good tables for more frequent guests. They also charged us twice for a main course at the fine dining restaurant but I think this was an honest mistake). The breakfast was also extremely nice and beach area was fine, although note that they don't have the beach club open every day of the week. Overall a dream of a stay and we cannot wait to return!

Having lunch at the bar of Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort was nothing short of disappointing. For an incredibly bland and shockingly subpar club sandwich, we were charged nearly €30. We asked for extra chicken on both club sandwiches, which came at an outrageous additional cost of €12 per sandwich, totaling €24—and yet there was barely any extra chicken. The chicken burger? It felt like something you’d grab from a vending machine after a night out, surrounded by rowdy tourists. The fresh juice was €9 per glass, and a simple espresso was €6. The quality, compared to the price, was absolutely laughable.
We brought this to the staff’s attention, and while they were understanding and graciously adjusted the bill, the food was far beneath what you’d expect from a five-star hotel. Truly one of the worst meals I’ve ever had, and frankly, a disgrace.

Stunning Palace, perched on a golf course with beautiful rooms. We had a small suite overlooking the golf course. The highlight for me was the Sunday breakfast. Probably one of the best breakfast I have seen in the hotel considering that I’m travelling the world extensively..
farm to table section with avocado and tomatoes - scrumptious 😋
Bakery section - so delicious.
My only little complain is the coffee. There is not enough baristas so people had to wait a long time for coffee, to solve the problem they have small sections of Nespresso which addresses the immediate need for caffeine.
The properties, a little bit remote from the rest of the action .
