Dining
International and Mediterranean cuisine menus at three restaurants feature locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Edge Skybar offers gorgeous views blended impeccably with innovative craft cocktails.
Le Marché – Inspired by an Arab souk, this innovative buffet with Mediterranean influences, artisan dishes, and authentic local recipes using ingredients sourced locally.
Levante – Centered on healthy cuisine, the chef uses fresh products available that day when the dish is prepared. The poolside atmosphere is inspired by breezes off the Strait of Gibraltar along the coast of Andalusia.
Soleo Marbella – Enjoy stunning Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a touch of fusion and uninterrupted sea views, with a design that transports you to the elegant dining room of a classic steamship.
Edge Skybar – Highly recommended for impressive views of Old Town and Sierra Blanca, this lounge offers cutting-edge mixology and lively music.
Activities at El Fuerte Marbella
Home to Renaissance-era whitewashed buildings and flower-draped balconies, the Old Town of Marbella was the old Medina with its typical Arabic infrastructure of narrow streets and a maze of narrow, winding streets. Plaza de los Naranjos draws visitors with orange trees, the 15th-century Ermita de Santiago church, and restaurants with terraces that serve traditional dishes like gazpacho and meatballs. A stroll along Avenida del Mar reveals a long, narrow plaza dotted with palm trees and bronze sculptures by Salvador Dalí.
Swimming pools, an indulgent spa with a Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, pool, sauna, water therapy circuit, massage services, and a variety of dining options will keep you engaged at the hotel, but the real attraction is right across the street at Marbella’s seafront promenade and the wide range of restaurants and shops in nearby Old Town.
San Luis Castle – The remains of the great San Luis Castle are located on the grounds of the hotel. This historic location has been designated as a Cultural Heritage Site.
Golf – Tee times can be arranged by the concierge at 15 golf courses in the area
Kids Club – Supervised activities will keep little ones occupied while adults enjoy the spa, golf, or tours of the area
