Club Med Magna Marbella, nestled at the foot of the Sierra Blanca Mountains, will open its doors to guests on August 3, 2019.

The property will feature five swimming pools, including a family waterpark and adult-only Zen Zone, children’s clubs and offer activities from hiking, archery and tennis, to petanque (boules), flying trapeze and trail running.

Club Med is also introducing padel tennis and a meditation area within the resort’s grounds.

The new resort is located around a 20-minute walk from Marbella’s city centre, a one-hour drive from Gibraltar, Ronda and Malaga or a two-hour journey from Grenade, Seville and Cadiz.

Plans for Club Med Magna Marbella were released ahead of the all-inclusive resort operator placing its summer 2019 programme on sale on October 2.

Club Med is offering a 15% early booking discount, which applies across 26 resorts for the first two days of next year’s holidays going on sale.

The deal will be available on all departure dates, with children under six also able to stay for free without any exclusion dates.

Estelle Giraudeau, managing director of Club Med UK and Northern Europe said: “We cannot wait to reintroduce the Club Med brand to Spain and know our customers in the UK market will love Club Med Magna Marbella which is situated close to both beautiful beaches and the bustling city centre.

“Perfect for a fun family summer holiday or a luxurious city break, Club Med Magna Marbella really does have something for everyone.”
