Curator's Note
Marbella operates on old-money time — unhurried mornings on the Golden Mile, long lunches in the Old Town, and evenings where the dress code is effortless but precise. Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe built the original Marbella Club in the 1950s and attracted a crowd that defined European leisure for half a century. That DNA persists: this is not flashy Côte d'Azur, it is quiet conviction that the Mediterranean was always best right here.
