Hacienda del Mar, Estepona
The Kempinski is gone; it reopened renovated, under a new name
In brief
A beachfront hotel at Estepona, twelve kilometres west of Marbella, with forty-five thousand square metres of gardens, three outdoor pools and its own stretch of sand. It traded for years as a Kempinski; management passed to Meliá and it reopened under its present name in July 2026 after a full renovation. Anything written before 2026 describes a different hotel.

Good to know
- It's in Estepona, not Marbella.
- There's a beach club, two restaurants and a spa on site.
- Booking sites still show it mixed up with the old record.
