The hotel is located within two hours of most Andalusian cities, like Seville, Granada or Cordoba, and is just a short ferry ride away from Tangier, Morocco.

Madrid, the capital of Spain, with a population of 4 million people, is situated 613 km away from Marbella-Estepona, only 2.5 hours away by train.

CLIMATE

Marbella-Estepona claims to have the best weather in Europe, with more than 320 sunny days per year, and it has a Mediterranean climate with soft variations in temperature.
Summer days normally start in late April, with the hottest temperatures – around 32°C (90°F) – reached in July and August. Winters are mild, with an average temperature between 10ºC (50°F) and 19ºC (66.2°F). Spring is considered the beginning of summer, and autumn the end, since both are very pleasant.
