La Zambra Resort: The Celebrity Hideaway on the Costa del Sol
There was a time when Lady Di decided to escape the royal life and seek refuge in a legendary resort on the Costa del Sol, where she often spent long summer vacations. Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones were also frequent guests, and in one of the rooms, Joaquin Sabina was fine-tuning the details of his album "Hôtel Dulce Hotel." Among the many remarkable places, only one could bring together all these celebrities in a magical setting, nestled in the white villages of Mijas. The old and iconic Byblos hotel, a jet-set reference in the 80s and 90s, has been renovated in a unique Andalusian style and is now known as La Zambra. This five-star resort, located in the province of Malaga, offers more than just a stay; it promises a true experience.

This mythical place, tucked away in the Andalusian foothills of Mijas, just 10 minutes from the beach, and situated between the cultural city of Malaga and the luxury lifestyle destination of Marbella, offers an unforgettable escape. The golden sun and the orange-scented breeze invite guests to explore the 196 rooms and suites of La Zambra, each with its own private terrace.
This Gran Luxury resort is now an extension of Andalusian essence, with its pastel tones, secret courtyards with whispering fountains, and a tranquility only disturbed by the splashes of the pool. The tall palm trees in the courtyard, surrounded by high walls covered with blooming bougainvillea, invite one to gaze up at the vastness of the Spanish blue sky.
La Zambra not only offers a paradisiacal setting; it also stands out as a premier destination, having been awarded a Michelin Key in its first edition in 2024. This recognition attests to the exceptional level of service, comfort, and unique experience the resort offers its visitors, further cementing its position as one of the most exceptional hotels worldwide.
