Resort description
Costa del Sol is the coast of the province of Malaga. Here there are more than 300 sunny days per year, a mild subtropical climate and long sandy beaches. In this region between Marbella and Estepona, on the first coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, is located the Grand Hotel Las Dunas, Autograph Collection 5*.
This exclusive boutique resort was founded in 1996, and in 2026 underwent a complete renovation. Today it is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection — a brand that unites independent boutique resorts with a high standard of service.
Grand Hotel Las Dunas accepts only adult patients. The main wellness concept of the resort is stress reduction, anti-aging care and emotional state stabilization. Sea air saturated with negative ions, Mediterranean sun and a natural saltwater pool enhance the effect of the treatments at the resort’s medical center.
