Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort has been honoured with a Michelin Key at the inaugural awards ceremony for Spain on 29 April 2024. Echoing the renowned Michelin Stars for restaurants, the Michelin Keys guide directs discerning travellers to exceptional hotel experiences.
With only 97 properties in Spain receiving the distinction, the award acknowledges Anantara Villa Padierna’s unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled service and an exceptional guest experience. The Michelin Keys are conferred following anonymous evaluations by the guide’s seasoned inspectors, independent of any existing classifications or ratings. Since its inception in April of this year, the keys have rapidly established themselves as an international benchmark, guiding travellers to hotels that stand out for their distinctive concept, personality and exemplary service standards.
A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, Anantara Villa Padierna is nestled between Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona in the south of Spain, offering unrivalled access to sandy beaches, world-class culture and shopping in Málaga, and numerous golf courses, diving and sailing spots nearby. At the resort, guests can choose from elegant rooms, suites and villas with private pools, as well as enjoying exceptional restaurants, each with its own personality, a private racquet club and a thermal spa.
When it comes to dining, holidaymakers are spoiled for choice with ten diverse venues offering memorable culinary experiences that range from Japanese fusion and authentic Lebanese to Mediterranean haute cuisine and local Andalusian fare. Guests can also sample mouth-watering tapas in neighbouring towns or accompany an Anantara chef to a local market to source produce for a private cooking class at the hotel.
