Casa la Concha is the perfect choice for those who want to sunbathe on Marbella's pristine beaches, or just simply hanging out with the in-crowd of the Golden Mile district. It's a charming family-owned property offering a romantic and relaxing holiday on the Costa del Sol. Five tucked-away cottages in Marbella make for a unique experience, enriched by the artsy décor and personal hospitality.

The facilities

Enjoy the pool, or go further afield for the beach, spa or golfing. A personal shopper, personal trainer, or massage therapy can be arranged on request. Horse riding facilities are nearby and golfers have a vast selection of golf courses. Hammocks are dotted around the garden and there is a lounge area by the dramatic blue-tiled pool.

The health and beauty treatments in the spa include expert massage by Fadi Mouawad. Manicure, pedicure, shiatsu and therapeutic massage can all be arranged. Enjoy breakfast by the pool or on the Arabian patio in the morning and in the afternoon savour a cocktail in the lounge area overlooking the sea. Light meals of omelettes, salads and fruit are also available. Let the Casa La Concha staff know in advance for lunch and early dinner options.

The rooms

Each of the five private cottages at Casa la Concha are individually decorated with the Andalusian spirit- lots of light, space and colour. There are six spacious double rooms, two with their own terrace and three hidden cottages independent of the main building. Each room has a private patio and en suite bathrooms, while three have a fire place. All of the rooms come with a holistic appeal of comfortable fabrics, warm colours and bohemian objects.
