Marbella
A breakdown in a 900-person fishing village: how Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe's faulty Rolls-Royce accidentally created Marbella.
From the CommunityPerfectly placed in the heart of Spain’s golden mile is the Puente Romano Marbella hotel. Originally built by the Royal Prince in 1974, it later was purchased and transformed into a hotel that continued to serve the elite.
The resort offers every luxury, most prominently its Tennis Club. Opened in 1979, the club’s eight clay courts, two hardcourts, and four padel courts have hosted matches and tournaments between the highest-tier pros while also helping up-and-comers master backhands and serve up aces.
The hotel’s first special event, appropriately, was the wedding of Swedish tennis legend Björn Borg. Shortly after the nuptials, Borg became the director of the Puente Romano Tennis Club and offered open invitations to many of the world’s top competitive players—Serena Williams, Boris Becker, John McEnroe, and Henri Leconte among them.
The tennis club hosts an annual Marbella Tennis Open, attracting professional big shots in short shorts from around the world, and enabling guests to witness top-shelf tennis matches surrounded by picturesque mountains and the Mediterranean. The Tennis Club continues to hold court and receives fitting attention for the diversity of its tournaments, including events like women’s wheelchair tennis and the fabulous World Padel Tour (WPT).
Whether you’re visiting the Puente Romano Marbella to marvel at legit tennis legends or enjoy a fresh take on the game by taking in a spot of padel tennis, you’re guaranteed a smashing experience.
