The best pool in Spain is on the Costa del Sol and has recently been awarded

Few places manage to redefine the art of living by the sea like Azure Beach & Pool, the exclusive corner of METT Marbella – Estepona that has just won the award for Best Hotel Pool at the sixth edition of the Beyond Luxury Awards 2026.

The recognition, awarded during a ceremony held at the Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá in Mallorca, crowns this Costa del Sol enclave as one of the highest exponents of sophisticated hospitality in Spain.

A 52-meter oasis facing the Mediterranean

Strategically located between Marbella and Estepona, this space transforms the classic sunny day into a multisensory experience. Its impressive 52-meter-long pool, always climate-controlled at 27 degrees, structures an atmosphere designed to enjoy without hurry.

Around the water unfolds an impeccable design of loungers, Balinese beds, and exclusive cabanas with private pools that face directly to the sea. The atmosphere naturally evolves throughout the day: the stillness of the morning gives way to a vibrant social proposal enhanced with music sessions, signature cocktails, and Pan-Asian inspired bites that extend the enjoyment until sunset.

The art of understanding rest

The awards jury—made up of recognized experts in the luxury sector—has especially valued the resort's ability to merge wellness with elegant entertainment and social life.

This experience by the water is integrated into the overall concept of METT Marbella – Estepona, a refuge with 251 rooms and 27 suites that complements its offer with a varied gastronomic route ranging from the Greek essence of Ammos to the Italian flavors of Isola Ristorante and the freshness of El Bar de Lola.

With this award, the resort reaffirms its commitment to a contemporary lifestyle where luxury translates into vitality, design, and an unparalleled connection with the Mediterranean.
