Marbella's iconic beachside village resort, spread across tropical gardens on the Golden Mile and incorporating a genuine Roman bridge within its grounds. 10 restaurants and bars, three pools, a flagship Six Senses Spa, and an elite tennis academy make this one of the Costa del Sol's most complete luxury resorts.
Puente Romano Beach Resort sits on the Golden Mile between central Marbella and Puerto Banús in Málaga province, directly on the beachfront and centred around a genuine first-century Roman bridge that has been preserved within the resort's tropical gardens. The resort sprawls across extensive landscaped grounds of palm trees, bougainvillea, and subtropical plantings, giving it the atmosphere of a self-contained Andalusian village rather than a conventional hotel. The accommodation ranges from standard rooms to suites and two-storey townhouses, many with private gardens or terrace pools. Three outdoor pools are distributed across the estate. The Six Senses Spa is one of the Costa del Sol's most comprehensive wellness destinations, with a thermal circuit, hammam, and the full Six Senses treatment menu available to guests and non-residents. Ten restaurants and bars — one of the most extensive dining programmes of any resort in Spain — include El Puente, a fine dining room with innovative Spanish cuisine, a Japanese restaurant, beach restaurants, and informal tapas and cocktail venues open throughout the day. The Puente Romano Tennis Academy is world-class, with multiple clay courts and resident professional coaches hosting clinics and private lessons. A private beach club with sunbed service, water sports, and a beach bar fronts the Mediterranean. Puerto Banús, with its designer boutiques and marina restaurants, is two kilometres west; Marbella old town and the Orange Square are four kilometres east.

Tips for visiting

- Puerto Banús marina is a pleasant 20-minute walk or five-minute taxi along the beach promenade.
- Tennis clinics at the academy are popular in spring when the weather is ideal — inquire about weekly programmes at check-in.
