METT Marbella Estepona, Spain

Mornings break soft and silver over the Mediterranean; palms shiver, parasols bloom, and the first espresso steams in the ocean light.

At METT Marbella–Estepona, sun-chasing days spill from sandy beach to statement pool decks and lantern-lit terraces.

With 249 rooms and suites, this tropical-leaning resort pairs barefoot ease with a social, seaside rhythm.

What Makes It Special

• True beachfront address with seamless drift between sand, pool, and terrace dining
• Showpiece pools & cabanas designed for long, languid afternoons
• Easygoing, flavor-forward kitchens—grilled seafood, bright Mediterranean plates, wood-fired aromas
• Wellness flow—spa treatments, gym, and sunrise stretch sessions with sea breeze
• Day-to-night vibe—golden-hour DJ sets and cocktail-forward bars (seasonal)

A Day at METT Marbella–Estepona

Morning

Barefoot walk on the shore; breakfast of ripe figs, Greek yogurt, and warm pan con tomate while the sea winks silver.

Afternoon

Claim a cabana at the main pool; saltwater dip, then a citrusy spritz and grilled prawns. A siesta in cool, linen-bright rooms; eucalyptus drifting from the spa.

Evening

Sun melts to copper; you slide into a terrace table for sea bass, lemon, and olive oil that tastes like sunshine.

Night

Low-slung beats, candlelight on the water, and a moonlit stroll back along the boardwalk.

Insider Tips for METT Marbella Estepona

• It skews adult, social, DJ-by-the-pool. Expect loud music many hours a day; weekends are the liveliest.
• The resort is not walkable to old towns/ports. Plan on taxis (drivers usually arrive in ~5 min) or rent a car. Alternative: grab the on-site e-bikes and ride the seafront promenade toward Estpona.
• Beach is lovely but pebbly in the surf—pack water shoes.
• Only one pool side gets afternoon sun—staff can point you to the “sunny” side.
