Drop-off
Private driveway off Calle José Meliá; the driver stops at the covered entrance.
At the start of the Golden Mile, on foot from the centre
Don Pepe stands where the centre of Marbella ends and the Golden Mile begins, on the beach at La Fontanilla. The entrance is a private driveway off Calle José Meliá, a side street from the coast road, and the covered porch has room for several cars, which matters when a group arrives at once. From the hotel, the Paseo Marítimo runs east to the marina and the Old Town, an easy walk, and west towards the beach clubs of Nagüeles. Guests get the convenience of the town without giving up gardens and a large pool area.
Arriving for a wedding, a conference or a family stay
The hotel hosts weddings and company events, so we often bring several vehicles to the same porch within a few minutes of each other. If your group lands on different flights, tell us the flight numbers and we stagger the pickups so nobody waits in the terminal for the others. Journey time is around 45 minutes on the AP-7; the driver takes the Marbella exit and reaches José Meliá by the coast road without crossing the centre.
