The world-famous hotel chain W is set to launch a brand new luxury 5 star resort in Marbella. Expected to open in 2021, the W Marbella Resort will occupy a stretch of beach at Real de Zaragoza at a rumoured cost of around 300 million euros.
The W Marbella is further testament to how strongly tourism in the area is increasing and is projected to increase. It shows a real confidence in the Costa del Sol moving forward and this is something we can see with some of the other stunning property developments we currently have available and the interest in those developments.
W hotels form part of the Starwood-Marriott consortium that has a portfolio of over 60 hotels worldwide. In fact, the group are making further investment in Spain with the opening of W Madrid in 2019 making a total of 3 in this country including the existing W Barcelona.
The fabulous project has been brought to life through a collaboration between the W chain and Platinum Estates investment group.
A recent article in The Guardians stated that the hotel will have 200 rooms and feature a bar and signature restaurant along with a spa, beauty salon and juice bar, workout facilities and more than 10,000 square feet of terraces. There will be conference facilities too meaning business can be conducted in stunning surroundings. W Marbella is set to have its own beach club that is projected to open in Summer 2018.
Town planning is underway and a statement issued by Marbella Council stated this investment is of major importance for the town, and is part of the authority’s efforts to make Marbella a preferential destination in the tourism sector “to attract investment which improves the well-being of our citizens and creates wealth and employment”.
According to plans the luxury hotel will be no more than three storeys high and whilst the resort covers around 151,000 square metres the buildings will only occupy around a third of that space making for a stunning oasis on the Marbella coastline. The dunes themselves will be protected to a depth of 150m.
