The Marbella Club Introduces ‘Wholeness’: A New Era of Holistic Wellbeing Rooted in Nature and Renewal

The Marbella Club has always been a place to pause, breathe and enjoy the beauty of the everyday. Under the helm of its second-generation owners, it has gracefully evolved into a place that captures the timeless character of an Andalusian village alive in technicolour and light—bougainvillea-lined paths, white façades, sun-kissed courtyards and hand-painted details.

Set across 90,000 square metres of botanical gardens and deeply rooted in the Mediterranean way of life, the hotel now introduces Wholeness — a renewed approach to wellbeing anchored in an ancient Chinese principle that gently supports the journey towards balance between relaxation and action. Its aim: to cultivate deep serenity and a revitalised, more vibrant sense of energy.



Coined “A Year of Wholeness”, 2025 will introduce a series of curated experiences each month, designed to inspire inner calm, physical rejuvenation and emotional clarity, while welcoming new spaces initially introduced during its 70th anniversary in 2024, that naturally expand the wellbeing offering the Marbella Club is known and loved for.

At the heart of this new chapter is the Herbal Spa, located within the Finca Ana Maria, the newly acquired land adjacent to the property that has been built into an interactive nature-led platform of gardens and communal spaces in collaboration with renowned French institute Deyrolle. 
The new, dedicated spa is home to four signature rituals — Jardín de Flores, to bloom and glow; Alma Mediterránea, for vitality and detox; Cura de Aloe, to flow and smooth; and Ritual del Descanso, to relax and soothe. Designed as an opportunity for self-care beyond the traditional seawater treatments offered at the Thalasso Spa, the rituals bring together floral exfoliations, olive oil–infused detox wraps, concentrated aloe serum massages and herbal soaks, using a variety of medicinal herbs, plants and flowers grown within the finca, carefully selected for their therapeutic properties.

             


With the help of onsite practitioners, guests can also craft their own retreat within the finca, a chance to spend the day practising yoga in the shade, enjoying a picnic by the Heritage Garden and soaking in the afternoon sun by the pool.

Nearby, the new Ice Bathing & Sauna Cabin offers a private thermal experience for two, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the La Concha mountain. 

To support this more intentional way of living, the hotel also welcomes Luminaries in Bloom — a new visiting calendar of leading wellness experts from around the globe. From mindful movement to aquatic therapy, energy healing, and Human Design, the residencies offer guests an opportunity for deeper self-discovery through a spectrum of healing modalities. Featured Luminaries include:

Meanwhile, El Olivar by Chef Andrés moves to the Finca Ana María pool with a spontaneous and informal way of tasting the colours of the gardens, while the El Olivar Lab focuses on utilising the micro-ecosystem that is Finca Ana Maria, incorporating all 300 hundred varieties of fruits and vegetables on offer into an opportunity for upcycling, pickling, fermentation or drying in line with the hotel’s longstanding commitment to responsible eating.
