Small but fine, Rio Real Golf & Wellness Resort, Marbella
(13 October 2008)
45 km from the airport of Malaga and 3 km from the city center, embedded between the Sierra Blanca and the glittering Mediterranean sea, Marbella's single 5-star boutique hotel is situated. The Rio Real Golf & Wellness Resort, a "Small Luxury Hotel of the World", offers utmost exclusivity and intimacy already due its size, combined with the excellent service of a first class resort.
The renowned Spanish interior designer Pascua Ortega is responsible for the successful design of the 29 guest rooms and suites. With a refined combination of precious antiques and carefully arranged materials, he has created light, modern and spacious guest rooms that are divided into four categories. The names take the golf standard into account: Par superior rooms, Birdie suite, Eagle suite and Albatros suite.
Lof style
All rooms have private terraces with spectacular views on the golf course and a furnishing that does not leave any wishes open.The Eagle suites were designed by Senor Ortega in a posh New York loft style with open spaces and an extravagant whirlpool tub from which you also enjoy a free view on the golf course.The most exclusive suite is the Albatros suite with its 100 sqm living area and a superb terrace.
Haute cuisine
Dining in its pure form is celebrated at the restaurant. And while you enjoy creative Mediterranean haute cuisine in perfection, you can pursue the events on the fairways through room-high panorama windows. The well sorted wine cellar offers some of the best Spanish and international wines.
One of the three best
In 1965, the 18 holes/Par 72 course was opened. Designed by Javier Arana, the fairways wind over softly undulated terrain. Recently carried out rebuilding works included the recultivation of the fairways and greens and the renovation of the paths and of the club house. Now the course is regarded as one of the three best on Costa Del Sol that after all offers 40 splendid golf courses.
After golf activities
If you would like to play not only golf, you have loads of alternatives: Floodlight tennis matches, lazing at the pool with a drink at the charming bar, regenerating at the wellness & beauty center in Asian ambiance, surfing in the internet with the comfortable free wi-fi connection or simply relaxing by listening to the iPod in the room..
