Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Marbella

Designed by Richard Meier & Partners, Four Seasons Marbella will be a destination that feels as pure and pastoral as the Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia—whitewashed with a clean-lined 21st century look. Spread over 27 hillside hectares that descend to the Mediterranean Sea, the property will include mountainside and oceanfront hotel suites with spectacular views, a spa and wellness center, low-slung buildings with terraced apartments, townhouses built around leafy courtyards, and spacious private villas surrounded by olive groves. At the Beach Club—the gregarious heart of the project—guests will find alfresco restaurants shaded by suspended canvas and breezy poolside cabanas facing the ocean. The surrounding nature is a picture-perfect backdrop to the seemingly endless and secluded beach, backed by the rocky Sierra Blanca mountains.
