The luxe, yet laidback METT Hotel & Beach Resort Marbella will open in June 2022

Summers in Spain will look something like this.

Bodrum has long been the go-to playground for Dubai residents in search of cooler climes and pristine beaches, thereby bringing METT Hotel & Beach Resort Bodrum onto our radars. Now, following the success of its inaugural property in Turkey, Sunset Hospitality Group has revealed details of its highly anticipated second outpost that’s due to open in June 2022: METT Hotel & Beach Resort Marbella – Estepona in Spain. With uninterrupted sea views and sandy beaches, the lifestyle resort sits on the scenic Marbella shoreline on the border of the famed resort town, Estepona. It will house 253 rooms and suites, all beautifully designed with seafront or pool-facing views.

Antonio Gonzalez, CEO, Sunset Hospitality Group, says: “The METT concept and lifestyle was originally curated for those travellers of today who are looking for a place to simply have fun and celebrate life in an amazing location. After the phenomenal success of METT Bodrum, we will now maintain the brand values and experiences that makes us ‘METT’ and look forward to welcoming the residents and visitors of Costa del Sol.” Surrounded by a lush Andalusian landscape resembling a “chic contemporary cortijo”, METT Marbella will be the perfect destination for those in search of laidback luxury. From incredible dining outlets and wellness offerings to five-star accommodation, no-frills service, and design rooted in elegant minimalism, it’s all here.

With dining at the heart of the METT experience, the Mediterranean-inspired FOLIE Restaurant & Sea, which debuted at the METT Bodrum, will yet again bring waterside glamour and barefoot luxury with an open-air ambience for daytime dining, drinking and DJ entertainment, whilst Dubai favourite Lola Taberna Española will make its first overseas debut, serving Spanish tapas in its relaxed taberna-style restaurant. The property will also host KOYO – another Dubai favourite – where modern fine-dining will be paired with Japanese art and entertainment in a chic, oriental-inspired setting. Clearly, there’s something for everyone.

In addition to the outdoor swimming pool, RAISE Fitness & Wellness (a fitness brand new to the Dubai scene) will be more than an onsite state-of-the-art gym for guests, but rather, an inclusive fitness community where guests can work out solo or with the help of a trainer. And when it’s time to wind down, the menu at MOI Spa is designed to soothe, pamper and de-stress guests through traditional massages and other body treatments. METT Hotel & Beach Resort Marbella – Estepona is ideally located just 45 minutes from Malaga Airport, a convenient 14 kilometres from Marbella’s picturesque town centre and nine kilometres from the marina of Puerto Banús.
