Special Seasonal Menu: New Year’s Eve Gala
Alanda Marbella Hotel & Manuka
Located on the prestigious Golden Mile (Milla de Oro), the Alanda Marbella Hotel stands as a unique 5-star destination that redefines luxury through the lens of wellness and Mediterranean hospitality. Distancing itself from the typical excess of the Costa del Sol, Alanda offers a “slow life” philosophy, making it a sanctuary for those seeking relaxation and health-conscious gastronomy.
The culinary heart of the hotel is Manuka, a restaurant that emphasizes natural, organic, and locally sourced ingredients. It is a destination where “eating well” means fueling the body with wholesome, additive-free dishes without sacrificing flavor. For special occasions, the hotel transforms its elegant spaces—such as the poolside terraces or the grand banquet halls—into sophisticated venues that blend Andalusian charm with modern chic. Whether for a summer soiree or a winter gala, Alanda provides an atmosphere of exclusive tranquility, just steps away from the vibrant energy of Puerto Banús.
