A PLACE TO BE TOGETHER IN MARBELLA
A family holiday is about time together, new discoveries and moments that stay with you long after you return home.
At Don Carlos Marbella, every generation can discover their own way to enjoy the Costa del Sol. From tropical gardens and pools to sport, gastronomy and experiences beside the Mediterranean, the hotel sets the scene for family holidays where every day can bring something new.
While younger guests discover a world created just for them, adults have time and space to unwind and enjoy the holiday too.
A world of their own
DON CARLOS KIDS
A space where children can play, explore and let their imaginations run free as they enjoy a holiday of their own. While they discover, create and have fun, the whole family can find its own rhythm.
A world of creativity and adventure designed for children aged 4 to 12, with creative activities, games, nature and shared moments where every young guest can feel part of something special.
Just outside, the children's pool and Splash Zone, with its iconic slides, bring water into the adventure, giving the whole family a place to enjoy time together beneath the sun.

Young players, great passions

Sport is part of the family holiday too. The Rafa Nadal Tennis Center offers intensive tennis programmes for children aged 10 and over, as well as private lessons. Learning, improving technique, sharing the court and, above all, enjoying the game bring young players closer to the sport in a professional and stimulating environment.
Some of the best stories begin with a racquet in hand. While children train and have fun, the whole family can make tennis part of their holiday at Don Carlos Marbella.

The pleasure of gathering at the table

With options for every moment of the day, these are spaces to gather, share and turn a meal into one of the highlights of the holiday.
