UNDER THE SPANISH SUN<br />
An Andalucían escape par excellence, the new Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort makes<br />
a stunning first impression. Guests arriving here are greeted by large expanses of softly undulating manicured<br />
grounds, a bucolic lake and a majestic, rose-hued palazzo-style edifice harboring more than 1,200 original<br />
paintings, sculptures and artifacts. Once checked in to any one of the hotel’s 138 elegant rooms, suites and<br />
villas—each with spacious terraces—most won’t see the need to leave the property with the array of incredibly<br />
diverse adventures on offer. For keen golfers, there’s a trio of 18-hole courses as well as an academy by onetime<br />
<strong>US</strong> Open winner Michael Campbell, while a more sybaritic experience can be had at the spa, which, inspired<br />
by Roman baths, comprises anything from a hydrotherapy circuit to a hammam and a comprehensive menu of<br />
medical beauty treatments. Just as invigorating is the cuisine: home to the newest outpost of the feted Spanish<br />
marque 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant as well as “O”, a sleek Andalucía-inflected eatery by two-Michelin-star chef<br />
Paco Roncero, among several other chic dining outlets, a gourmet meal here is best capped off at Eddy’s Bar, a<br />
living-room style establishment serving innovative cocktails by award-winning mixologist Diego Cabrera.<br />
