Aristocratic Grandeur in the Costa del Sol
A tranquil oasis surrounded by the rolling foothills of the Sierra Bermeja, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort is one of Europe's most distinctive luxury sanctuaries. Conceived in the style of an Italian Tuscan palazzo, this 5-star haven is recognized as a true "museum hotel," adorned with more than 1,200 original Roman statues, classical sculptures, and museum-grade master paintings carefully curated across its marble galleries and cypress-lined courtyards.
The resort features 125 palatial accommodations spanning spacious deluxe rooms, palatial terrace suites, and standalone multi-bedroom private villas with private heated swimming pools. Among them is the famed Villa Obama, chosen by First Lady Michelle Obama and Sasha Obama during their 2010 stay in Spain.
