💆♀️✨ The Best Luxury Spas in Marbella are much more than simple wellness centres: they are destinations in themselves, designed by renowned architects and managed by the world's most prestigious firms.
Marbella has positioned itself as one of the great wellness destinations on the Costa del Sol, where self-care is an essential part of the travel experience. These sanctuaries are not just places for relaxation, but immersive environments with impeccable attention to detail, where every element —from ambient lighting to relaxing aromas— invites you to disconnect.
Luxury is lived in balance: suites with natural light, corners that invite you to breathe and an atmosphere where the Andalusian soul is expressed through art and self-care.
At The Sun Places we present a selection of the most exclusive spas in the area so you can plan your wellness retreat during your stay in our Luxury Apartments in Puerto Banús, right in the heart of the Marbella Golden Mile.
When is the best time to enjoy the Best Luxury Spas in Marbella?
📅 The Best Luxury Spas in Marbella are open all year round.
The best time to enjoy them is during the mid-season (April-June and September-October), when the weather is mild and there are fewer tourists.
In winter (November-February), the spas are a perfect refuge from the cool weather, with their heated swimming pools, saunas and Turkish baths.
In summer (July-August), we recommend booking treatments early in the morning or at sunset.
Typical opening hours are from 10:00 to 20:00. Day passes (without accommodation) usually cost between 80 and 200 euros.
The Sun Places recommends booking at least two weeks in advance, and we can handle all the logistics for you.

💪 Health benefits of a good spa and massage
Enjoying the Best Luxury Spas in Marbella is not just a pleasure: it is an investment in your health. Numerous scientific studies support the benefits of therapeutic massage and thermal circuits.
- It reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) by up to 30% after a single session, according to a study from the University of Miami. It increases serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters associated with happiness and well-being
- It improves blood and lymphatic circulation, which accelerates muscle recovery and reduces inflammation. It relieves chronic back, neck and joint pain, especially in deep tissue massages
- It promotes restorative sleep by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. It strengthens the immune system by reducing systemic inflammation
- And on a mental level, it reduces anxiety, improves concentration and provides mental clarity. In addition, thermal circuits (sauna, Turkish bath, hot tubs) help eliminate toxins, open pores, improve skin elasticity and relax muscles.
At The Sun Places we believe that luxury is also about taking care of yourself, and that is why we encourage you to include a spa session in your itinerary.
