Resort description
Anantara Villa Padierna Palace 5* is located in a quiet green area near Marbella, among hills, gardens and golf courses. The mild climate of the Costa del Sol, the large number of sunny days and the ability to spend a lot of time outdoors make the resort a comfortable choice for relaxation, rejuvenation and wellness programs.
Anantara Villa Padierna Palace is suitable for those who want to combine premium accommodation, medical treatments, stress reduction and weight management programs. This is not a highly specialized medical center, but a luxury wellness resort with medical consultations, aesthetic and wellness treatments.
Medical centers
Anantara SPA Medical Center
Anantara Villa Padierna Palace has a 2,000 m² wellness complex — one of the largest in Europe, built surrounded by quiet gardens and hills of Andalusia. The center’s philosophy is rooted in Thai wellness culture. The word Anantara itself is translated from Sanskrit as “infinity” — a reflection of the idea of continuous harmony of body and mind.
The heart of the complex is the Aromatic Spa Circuit, a thermal route with 4 steam aromatherapy rooms, a sea salt hammam, Greek and Finnish saunas, a dynamic heated pool, a contrast pool, a flotarium and a laconium. The complex features 12 individual treatment rooms and specialized hydrotherapy areas.
Available programs and procedures:
| Slim & Detox Programme | The patient undergoes a thermal circuit, lymphatic drainage and detox massages, body contouring (LPG), underwater hydromassage, personal training and dietary recommendations with healthy nutrition menus. |
| Golf Programme | Includes a special massage for golfers (shoulders, lower back, shoulder blades), deep tissue massage, warming with Thai herbal compresses, a thermal circuit for joint and muscle recovery, a personal training session with a trainer and functional diagnostics of physical condition. |
| Healthy Programme | Thermal circuit, aqua therapy, signature body massage with a foot cleansing ritual, salt scrub and wrap, facial treatment, light yoga or aqua aerobics classes, nutritional recommendations. |
| Anantara Signature Massage | A signature blend of essential oils combined with rhythmic movements stimulates blood circulation, promotes deep relaxation and restores energy flow along the meridian lines. |
| Anantara Signature Journey | A complete immersion in the Thai philosophy of “Nam Jai” (“heartfelt care”). It begins with a ritual foot cleansing with frangipani and hibiscus scents — a tradition symbolizing a new start. Next is a restorative massage with chosen oils, ending with an express facial treatment. |
For body treatments, classic and specialized massages, seaweed treatments and wraps, as well as instrumental procedures are available: INDIBA Treatment (restoration of cellular metabolism, skin elasticity and microcirculation) and LPG Endermologie (body contouring and skin smoothing).
The facial care line includes high-tech Elemis BIOTEC Tech Facials with microcurrent, cryotherapy and LED technologies, as well as rituals from the brands Valmont and Biologique Recherche.
Visiting the thermal areas is not recommended for patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, allergies and chronic conditions. Pregnant women are advised to consult a doctor before starting any procedures.
