ME Málaga

Contemporary Málaga is climbing upward. ME Málaga positions itself as a new social anchor on the Costa del Sol, with 128 rooms, 14 junior suites and eight suites overlooking the city’s historic centre. Architecture and interiors by Asah Studio reinterpret southern Spain through light, stone and contemporary art rather than nostalgia. The lobby sets the tone with original works by Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, alongside a large-scale mural by artist Marina Anaya. Upstairs, the rooftop terrace has quickly become a city fixture, pairing an infinity pool, live music and wide views across Málaga’s rooftops. A collaboration with Lacoste sharpens the look, from staff uniforms to the hotel’s sport-chic confidence.

Barcelona Pool House

Barcelona Pool House sits above the city, literally and temperamentally. Opened in 2025, Soho House’s third Barcelona address occupies an early-1900s Catalan mansion on Avinguda del Tibidabo, in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, a residential neighbourhood of embassies, old money villas and wide pavements. The house still shows its bones: restored frescoes, gold-edged vaulted ceilings and original patterned floor tiles across four floors. Life centres on the garden pool and a restaurant that moves between Mediterranean comfort and Japanese precision. A second Soho Health Club anchors the offer with a gym, spa, vegetarian café and Lazy Lab for LED therapy, PEMF mats and IV infusions. It’s a slower, more composed take on Soho House, designed for daylight, recovery and long afternoons rather than late nights.

Soho Farmhouse Ibiza

Soho Farmhouse Ibiza occupies Cas Gasi, an 1880 rural estate outside Santa Gertrudis that long operated as a low-key boutique hotel before Soho House took over. The finca sits inland, roughly 15 minutes from Ibiza Town and the airport, surrounded by orchards, kitchen gardens and working farmland rather than beaches or clubs. The property is members-only, with rooms spread across the estate instead of stacked in a main building, many with terraces, outdoor bathtubs and garden access. There are multiple pools, a Technogym-equipped indoor–outdoor gym, yoga decks and a hillside spa offering IV drips and lymphatic drainage. Food comes from two kitchens: the all-day clubhouse and the evening Farmhouse restaurant, with produce pulled straight from the gardens. The message is clear: this is Ibiza for people who already did Ibiza.

Oku Andalusia

Oku Andalusia sits in Cádiz province, not Málaga, and that distinction matters. This is Atlantic Andalusia, where the light is sharper, the wind stronger and the mood less polished. It is Oku’s first mainland European hotel, built around the brand’s pared-back, design-led idea of slow luxury but without the incense-and-infinity-pool theatrics. The architecture stays low and horizontal, tuned to the landscape rather than competing with it. The crowd skews adult, international and intentionally off-season-minded. Days revolve around long lunches, sea air and wellness without spiritual posturing. Nights are quiet, social and unforced. This is not a resort for ticking boxes – it is for travellers who actively chose Cádiz over the Costa del Sol and know exactly why.

Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club

Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club is a Marbella hotel that deliberately avoids the town’s louder impulses. Opened in July 2025, the 135-key property sits directly on Real de Zaragoza beach, one of the longest and least developed stretches of coastline east of the city. Part of Iconic Luxury Hotels, the resort is spread across five low-rise buildings organised around tiled courtyards, water features and shaded walkways that reference Andalusian domestic architecture rather than grand resorts. Rooms range from garden-facing doubles to suites with private pools, but the social centre is the beach club, designed as a nod to Marbella before mega clubs and velvet ropes. Dining moves between Terraza and beachfront Amù, a Champneys spa is set to follow, and the real luxury here is scale, privacy and direct access to the sea.

Son Ermità

High on a private ridge in northern Menorca, Son Ermità is what happens when Vestige hotel group strips luxury back to its bones. This former rural estate offers just ten rooms, all set within an 18th-century house originally built around a small hermitage. Silence is the point. So is space. From the twin pools, the view runs to Monte Toro and the wild coastline beyond Cala Pilar. Interiors lean Palladian without nostalgia: original beams, antique pieces, restrained contemporary art. Brisa, the restaurant, draws on Menorca’s French past with local fish, garden produce and discreet technique.

Aethos Mallorca

Set high above the Mediterranean on the cliffs of Cala Fornells, Aethos Mallorca marks the brand’s first Spanish outpost. The 61-room hotel is designed by Ballesteros Drusetta, who took cues from the island’s natural palette – olive green, almond blossom pink, terracotta and local stone – translated into a restrained, tactile architecture. Four rooms feature outdoor bathtubs, while the Tower Suite opens to panoramic sea views. Life revolves around Onda, the restaurant, a rooftop listening bar, an infinity pool and a spa with a holistic wellness focus. Sustainability is built into the structure through ecological materials and low-impact systems.

Son Molí Country House

Son Molí Country House sits five hectares deep in Mallorca’s flat interior, minutes from the airport yet pointed firmly away from the island’s beach churn. The former manor, later a girls’ school, reopened in May 2025 as a 22-room agritourismo under Swedish owner Mikael Hall, whose Can Bordoy in Palma set the tone for restraint over rustic cosplay. Rooms are spread between the main house and garden pavilions, with seven categories and no room 13. Chef Lucía Cárdenas cooks nightly tasting menus shaped by the orchard, nearby sea and Balearic tradition, alongside Andrés Benítez of Botànic fame. Wellness here means yoga by the pool, tennis, long walks and little else.

SLS Barcelona

SLS Barcelona makes its European debut on the waterfront of Port Fòrum, opening an urban resort that refuses to blend into the skyline. The 471-room property rises with an undulating façade – an homage to Mediterranean waves – conceived by Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos, while interiors from Aime Studios, Avroko and Rockwell Group layer playful opulence over sleek modernism. Oversized headboards, mirrored-glass partitions and warm timber accents riff on natural light and sea views, granting nearly every room a private balcony or terrace. SLS Barcelona features three pools, including an adults-only rooftop plunge, alongside a spa and state-of-the-art fitness centre. Six dining and nightlife concepts stitch together a miniature resort of their own. Lora, set around a wood-fired grill, serves coastal-inspired Mediterranean dishes. L’Anxova Divina spills onto a sunlit terrace with briny anchovy tapas and croquetas, while Deluxe shifts from café to lounge for all-day sipping.

Royal Hideaway Corales Villas

Set above Costa Adeje’s golf greens, with the Atlantic in front and volcanic ridges behind, Royal Hideaway Corales Villas opens in March 2025 as a deliberately low-key counterpoint to Tenerife’s resort sprawl. The 139-key property sits on the island’s so-called Royal Road and mixes suites with kitchens, swim-up access and private infinity pools with two- and three-bedroom villas designed for long, unhurried stays. Architecture by Leonardo Omar Arquitectos and interiors by K-Studio lean into restraint rather than spectacle, using local stone, sliding glass walls and a palette drawn from nearby Teide National Park. Dining centres on Bonfire’s open kitchen and Crater’s island-by-island tasting menus, while a compact spa, yoga patio and panoramic pool keep the focus on calm.

The Palace

Madrid has plenty of grand hotels. Only one has lived several lives before breakfast. The Palace reopened in March 2025, after a two-year restoration that strips away nostalgia and replaces it with precision. Built in 1912 at the urging of King Alfonso XIII, it was Europe’s most technically advanced hotel, the first in Spain with a bathroom and telephone in every room. Picasso stayed while designing ballet sets, Hemingway drank martinis by the bar and Mata Hari checked in before history caught up with her. Architect Lázaro Rosa Violán restored colour, proportion and confidence rather than chasing trends. The rebuilt glass dome, reassembled from 1,875 panes, anchors the hotel once again.

Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol

Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol brings a fresh take on Andalusian luxury, where whitewashed villa-style suites meet sweeping Mediterranean views. This flagship Fairmont resort features 213 rooms, including 47 private villas with secluded pools, echoing the charm of a traditional Andalusian village. Michelin-starred chef Benito Gómez leads the culinary offering, which ranges from refined dining to a beach club where DJs set the evening rhythm and espetos are grilled over open flames. The 1,800-square-metre spa, the only one in the region with panoramic sea and mountain views, offers hammam rituals, hydrotherapy, and treatments by Bastien Gonzalez. With championship golf courses at its doorstep, this is Costa del Sol at its most exclusive.
