"The iconic Byblos Hotel has been reborn as La Zambra Resort: an effortlessly luxurious escape with fabulous dining, one of the region’s largest spas and a dozen golf courses within fifteen minutes’ driving time."

Situated in the Andalusian foothills between Marbella and Málaga is La Zambra Resort: a tranquil Costa del Sol escape with a storied past. What was once the iconic Byblos Hotel – a true legend of the 80s and ‘90s, beloved by royals and rockstars alike – has been reborn. Brilliantly revitalised yet retaining a uniquely timeless air, La Zambra pays homage to its roots as its legacy is carried onward into the future.

Guests’ first impression of La Zambra is a homage to the past: the property retains the memorable blue towers and white façade of the Byblos Hotel. Within, though, extensive renovations have been carried out to great effect. Understated luxury is the guiding principle throughout, and every space feels designed to induce feelings of clarity and calm. Sanctuary-like rooms are elegant in their simplicity, intentionally designed and devoid of any superfluous distraction. Within, the spaces are set in pale, warm neutral shades, complemented throughout by ample use of organic...   Show more

Guests’ first impression of La Zambra is a homage to the past: the property retains the memorable blue towers and white façade of the Byblos Hotel. Within, though, extensive renovations have been carried out to great effect. Understated luxury is the guiding principle throughout, and every space feels designed to induce feelings of clarity and calm. Sanctuary-like rooms are elegant in their simplicity, intentionally designed and devoid of any superfluous distraction. Within, the spaces are set in pale, warm neutral shades, complemented throughout by ample use of organic materials. Natural light floods the interiors from enormous windows, and all of the property’s 196 accommodations, notably, enjoy their own private outdoor spaces.

A quartet of venues for drinking and dining await guests at mealtimes, and while each has its own distinct ambience, all are a celebration of Mediterranean and Andalusian cuisines. Begin the day with breakfast at the laid-back Palmito, which utilises local ingredients in its Mediterranean cuisine for all meals of the day. The outdoor La Bartola (which is open in high season only) is a perfect spot for a midday snack or a light al fresco lunch. For dinner, Picador is outstanding: be sure to make a reservation in advance to experience this reinvented tapas restaurant, where you can enjoy mouthwatering dishes like duck breast lacquered with Frigiliana honey and corn. Later on, Bamboleo is as much worth a visit for the creative cocktails as it is for the ambience, especially when there’s live music playing.

Spanning 2000 square metres, Mood Spa is one of the largest spas in all of Costa del Sol and is well worth a visit for a yoga class and an indulgent treatment or two. Wellness is certainly a highlight of the resort, as is golf: there are no fewer than twelve courses located within a fifteen-minute drive, and the scenery is spectacular. With direct buggy access to Los Olivos and Los Lagos, La Zambria is a veritable golfer’s paradise.
