Where legacy meets luxury

The History of Puente Romano

Puente Romano, one of Marbella’s most iconic landmarks, was established in 1979 as a luxury beachside resort inspired by an ancient Roman bridge that still stands within its grounds. Originally designed as an extension of the prestigious Marbella Club Hotel, it quickly became a symbol of Mediterranean elegance, attracting elite travellers and celebrities from around the world.

Over the years, Puente Romano expanded beyond its five-star hotel, evolving into an exclusive residential community featuring luxurious apartments, penthouses, and villas.
