Dining, pools and the beach
Dining & bars
A few venues take reservations, the rest are walk-in
Club Med official and review sources support all-inclusive meals and drinks with two principal dining venues; exact bar count should be verified against current resort map.
Pools & waterplay
With waterslides
Official Club Med materials emphasize a lagoon pool, Zen pool and family water-play areas; exact pool count varies by source.
The beach itself
This is an inland Marbella resort in the Sierra Blanca foothills; beach access requires transportation.
- Caveat: Water conditions vary through the year
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at Club Med Magna Marbella
All 5 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms |
|---|---|---|
| Superior Room | Not published | 1 bedroom |
| Superior Room - Balcony | Not published | 1 bedroom |
| Family Superior Room | Not published | 1 bedroom |
| Deluxe Room | Not published | 1 bedroom |
| Suite | Not published | 1 bedroom |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
Where else to look

- Booking.com (opens in a new tab)

- Tripadvisor reviews (opens in a new tab)
Same stay on every channel. Book wherever it comes out cheapest, whether or not we earn on it. Some of these are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
