An Insider's Take
'Nestled between the Sierra Bermeja mountains and the sparkling Costa del Sol coastline, Grand Hotel Las Dunas is a refined Autograph Collection retreat where Andalusian elegance meets genuine beachfront luxury — just minutes from the charming "Garden of the Costa del Sol," Estepona.' What's Special?
  • As part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, Las Dunas is independently spirited yet globally connected — earning Marriott Bonvoy points while delivering a deeply local Andalusian experience.
  • The hotel sits directly on Playa del Cristo, one of Estepona's most pristine Blue Flag beaches, offering guests immediate access to the Mediterranean.
  • Estepona itself is famously known for its stunning Street Art Murals — over 50 large-scale works painted across the old town, making it an open-air gallery unlike any other on the Costa del Sol.
  • The property features lush, tropical garden landscapes reminiscent of a private Andalusian estate, creating a secluded oasis feel despite its prime coastal location.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Request a room with a direct sea view and wake up to panoramic Mediterranean sunrises — then spend your morning strolling Estepona's flower-lined old town streets before the crowds arrive. The town's famous orchid murals are best photographed in the early morning light!
Don't Miss
  • Estepona's Old Town (Casco Antiguo) — A beautifully preserved Andalusian village just minutes away, bursting with bougainvillea, whitewashed walls, and vibrant street art.
  • Puerto de Estepona — The lively local marina offers fresh seafood restaurants, boutique shopping, and stunning sunset views over the Strait of Gibraltar.
  • Day Trip to Gibraltar — Only 45 minutes away, spot the famous Barbary Macaques and enjoy a unique cross-cultural experience at the tip of Europe.
