The best pet-friendly hotels and resorts in Marbella

Our favourite pet-friendly hotels and resorts in Marbella

Travelling with a pet should not mean compromising on the quality of your stay. Marbella has several stylish hotels and resorts where pets are genuinely welcomed, from lively lifestyle hotels near Puerto Banús to peaceful retreats surrounded by gardens and golf courses. We have selected the properties that combine an excellent hotel experience with a convenient approach to guests travelling with their pets.

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella immediately stands out for having one of the most generous pet policies in the area. Nobu Hotel Marbella offers a very different experience, placing guests and their pets in the heart of the Golden Mile’s dining and social scene. Boho Club is another favourite of ours, especially for travellers who prefer a smaller boutique setting surrounded by Mediterranean gardens.

Pet policies can differ considerably between hotels. Some welcome pets without an additional accommodation fee, while others apply limits based on weight, the number of animals or the selected room category. We therefore recommend informing the hotel before arrival and confirming the latest conditions when making your reservation.

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella is one of the most pet-friendly luxury hotels in the Marbella area. The hotel welcomes pets that can comfortably fit inside its lift, without charging an additional accommodation fee. Its colourful interiors, spacious communal areas and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere make it an attractive choice for a modern stay. Guests can also enjoy several restaurants and bars, a spa, swimming pools and access to the nearby La Cabane beach club. It is our top recommendation for travellers looking for a luxury hotel with a particularly welcoming and uncomplicated pet policy.

Nobu Hotel Marbella

Nobu Hotel Marbella welcomes pets while offering direct access to the lifestyle and facilities of Puente Romano. Its rooms and suites combine Japanese-inspired design with private terraces and a calm, contemporary atmosphere. Guests are close to Nobu restaurant, the adults-only Nobu Pool, Six Senses Spa and the restaurants and evening venues around La Plaza. The location on the Golden Mile is also convenient for walks towards the beach and the surrounding residential areas. The hotel recommends contacting its team directly for the latest details about its pet policy before booking.

Hard Rock Hotel Marbella

Hard Rock Hotel Marbella offers a dedicated pet-friendly programme called Unleashed. The programme is designed to make dogs feel part of the hotel experience and includes pet-focused services and an in-room canine dining menu. The hotel’s energetic atmosphere, swimming pools and location close to Puerto Banús make it especially suitable for couples and friends looking for a lively stay. Additional cleaning fees and rules apply, and these can vary depending on the season. Guests should review the current agreement carefully and register their pet with the hotel before arrival.

Boho Club

Boho Club is a stylish boutique resort surrounded by gardens on Marbella’s Golden Mile. The hotel welcomes pets as part of its relaxed and inclusive approach to hospitality. Its rooms, suites and private bungalows provide a more intimate alternative to Marbella’s larger beachfront resorts. The gardens and private terraces make the property particularly appealing to guests who prefer additional outdoor space. It is an excellent choice for a peaceful, design-led stay with easy access to the beach, Puente Romano and Puerto Banús.

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort offers a dedicated experience for guests travelling with their pets. Its Pawsh Retreat can include a pet bed, food and water bowls, a toy, waste bags and other useful accessories. The palatial resort is surrounded by gardens and golf courses in Benahavís, a short drive from Marbella. Its spacious setting is especially attractive for guests who want tranquillity, wellness and plenty of room away from the busier coastal areas. Specific rules apply regarding leaving pets unattended, so these should be reviewed with the hotel before arrival.

The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa

The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa provides a peaceful pet-friendly stay in the hills above Marbella. The hotel currently welcomes one dog per room, subject to a maximum weight limit. Its green surroundings and position beside La Quinta Golf & Country Club make it well suited to guests who enjoy space and a quieter atmosphere. The resort also offers restaurants, swimming pools, a large spa and convenient access to Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús. It is a good option for guests travelling with a smaller dog who prefer wellness and golf to Marbella’s busier social scene.

Linda Boutique Hotel

Linda Boutique Hotel is an intimate pet-friendly option in the heart of Marbella old town. The hotel offers a small collection of individually designed rooms, with larger suites that welcome families and guests travelling with pets. Its central position places visitors within walking distance of restaurants, boutiques, historic streets and the beach. This makes it a practical choice for guests who want to explore Marbella on foot rather than stay inside a large resort. We recommend confirming the most suitable room category and any additional costs directly with the hotel before booking.

Rio Real Golf & Hotel

Rio Real Golf & Hotel is a small boutique property located beside its golf course to the east of Marbella. With only 30 rooms, it offers a quiet and personal atmosphere surrounded by greenery. Pets may be accepted on request, although conditions such as size limits and access to shared areas can apply. The location is well suited to travellers who prefer golf, tranquillity and easy access to the beaches east of Marbella. As the full pet policy is not always published clearly, we recommend confirming all conditions directly before reserving a room.

Conclusion

Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella offers one of the most flexible and clearly communicated pet policies in this selection. Nobu Hotel Marbella and Hard Rock Hotel Marbella are better suited to guests who want restaurants, entertainment and a livelier atmosphere, while Boho Club provides a more private and design-focused experience on the Golden Mile.

Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort is an excellent option for space, wellness and a carefully prepared pet experience. The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa works particularly well for guests travelling with a smaller dog, while Linda Boutique Hotel is ideal for exploring central Marbella on foot. Rio Real Golf & Hotel offers a quieter boutique stay, but its latest conditions should be confirmed directly.

Before completing any reservation, tell the hotel the type, breed, size and number of pets travelling with you. It is also important to ask about additional fees, permitted room categories, restricted restaurants and pool areas, and whether a pet can remain alone in the room. Confirming these details in advance will help ensure a comfortable and relaxed stay for both you and your pet.
