How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Waking to the soft shimmer of Mediterranean dawn at Don Carlos Marbella, the light slips through palm fronds and filters across cool terracotta tiles. Outside your window, the sea is a brushstroke of silver, unhurried and endless.
Hotel Don Carlos stands directly on Marbella’s premier beach, its elegant façade opening into almost five acres of lush tropical gardens. It marries the relaxed rhythm of Costa del Sol with a quiet, confident sense of place. Walk here at sunset when the piña coladas are sweet, the light is just right, and the moment feels calibrated for memory.
Rooms frame the sea or the mountains with floor‑to‑ceiling glass that invites both into your waking and dreaming hours. Each space offers soft linens, mid‑tone wood, and subtly patterned soft furnishings. Don Carlos Residences raise the experience with private pool and detailed service—the kind of attentive detail that never intrudes.
Los Naranjos delivers Mediterranean cooking grounded in local provenance. Be sure to try the desserts accented with citrus grown steps from the table. Nikki Beach Marbella occupies one of Marbella’s finest white-sand shores, refreshed with a new bar, re-imagined pool deck framed by stylish cabanas and lounge zones, plus a DJ booth at its core for sound-tracked afternoons.
Don Carlos Spa is a calm counterpoint to the sea. The spa menu is concise but well-curated—massages, facials, body rituals. After a signature session, lounged by the spa’s quiet pool, lulled by birds and palms. Fitness options include tennis on nine flood-lit courts in the gardens.
The Rafa Nadal Tennis Center offers seven clay courts and two glass-walled Rebound Ace padel courts, all set for serious play. Training programmes are inspired by the Rafa Nadal Academy, with coaches focused on technique, movement and match strategy. Sessions use the Wingfield system to track performance in real time, helping players fine-tune their game. There’s a pro-shop stocked with Babolat and Nike equipment, plus a small exhibition on Nadal’s career—a quiet nod to the champion behind the center’s philosophy.
And when the day draws to a close, light fading through the palms and the sea darkening to indigo, you’ll think back to that first quiet moment at Don Carlos Marbella: the hush of morning, the scent of salt and citrus, the sense that time had briefly slowed.
