Hacienda del Mar, a member of Meliá Collection, has officially opened its doors in Estepona, marking the arrival of Meliá’s luxury offerings on the Costa del Sol. The hotel, set against the Mediterranean, is surrounded by 45,000 square meters of gardens, providing a destination that embodies tradition, gastronomy, and wellness, designed to immerse travelers in the essence of Andalucía and Mediterranean lifestyle.
With 131 rooms and suites characterized by spacious designs, natural materials, and sea or garden views, Hacienda del Mar offers an environment that encourages relaxation and a sensory experience for visitors. The establishment is fully integrated within the Estepona landscape, a municipality known for its picturesque flower-decorated streets and Mediterranean identity, inspiring this new luxury enclave.
Culinary offerings are a cornerstone of this project, with highlights including Neguri Beach Club, emphasizing seaside dining with white designs and open architecture; and Burladero, which creatively reinterprets traditional Andalusian cuisine with local ingredients. Almenara, the breakfast space that blends architecture and nature, and Umbral, the lobby bar for relaxation, complete the culinary vision.
Wellness is another focal point, with the MAIA SPA featuring treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room, and heated indoor pool, promoting a philosophy that honors Maia, the goddess of fertility and health, offering innovative treatments for immediate and lasting well-being.
Hacienda del Mar also caters to corporate events with six meeting rooms totaling 580 sq. m. with natural lighting and adaptability for various formats, presenting a unique value for vehicle showcases and exclusive environments.
Gabriel Escarrer Jaume’s words encapsulate the vision for this opening: “The opening of Hacienda del Mar, part of The Meliá Collection, is a step forward in our commitment to expanding our luxury brands in Spanish destinations with such inspiring identities as the Costa del Sol. With The Meliá Collection, we aim to enhance the luxury hotel offerings in the area and provide unique accommodations that connect travelers with the destination’s essence, and Estepona is the perfect setting for this.”
The launch of Hacienda del Mar reinforces Meliá Hotels International’s luxury portfolio presence in Andalucía and consolidates its growth strategy focused on high-value brands. The project proposes authentic experiences that allow guests to discover Estepona and the most genuine Andalucía from a unique luxury perspective, where attention to detail, connection to local culture, and wellness culminate in memorable stays.
