Tell us about the resort – what makes Marbella Club so special?

Situated directly on Marbella beach, Andalucía, the MC Club provides an idyllic location for those that enjoy beach life with glorious weather and serene ocean views.  More like a village than a resort, the MC club provides a plethora of activities for the health-conscious traveler who also enjoys being treated like an A-list celebrity.  Marbella Club also provides an unrivalled children’s club with unbelievable toys, games and classes – it’s one of the best I’ve seen. Parents can drop their children off and make the most of the club’s facilities with the comforting knowledge that they will not be bored. The long beachside promenade in front of the resort is also a great spot for walking or running.
