By By Ameni Shafik On Marbella’s sun-drenched coastline, where the Mediterranean meets the golden sands of the Costa del Sol, a new address is redefining the art of the summer escape: METT Marbella – Estepona. Here, the horizon is painted in shades of aquamarine, the days move to the rhythm of sea breezes, and style feels as natural as the sun on your skin.
The resort’s aesthetic is pure coastal minimalism — open-plan suites in soft, sun-washed tones, bespoke furnishings that blend artisan craftsmanship with contemporary lines, and terraces designed for lingering over coffee or champagne as the light shifts over the water. For an intimate retreat, the Seascape Suite with Private Pool & Sea Views offers 124 sqm of pure romance: sleek indoor spaces spilling out to a private terrace, a jewel-like pool, and uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean. 
Larger groups will find their haven in the METT Suite with Private Garden & Pool — 464 sqm of seafront indulgence, complete with a private garden and a pool so inviting it feels almost cinematic. 
Yet, the true performance might happen at dinner. ISOLA, the resort’s ode to southern Italy, is more than a restaurant — it’s an experience. The evening begins with the soft glow of candlelight on rustic-chic tables, a warm welcome from a team whose attentiveness feels effortless, and the aroma of fresh herbs drifting from the kitchen. 
Handmade pastas arrive like edible works of art, each plate a celebration of authentic Italian flavours. And the finale? A tiramisu — impossibly light, impossibly rich — that lingers in memory long after the last bite.
Between swims in the infinity pool at AZURE Beach, sunlit afternoons at AMMOS with its Greek-island simplicity, and sunset cocktails at Bar de Lola, where Andalusian energy fills the night, METT Marbella is more than a destination. It’s a curated moodboard of Mediterranean living — for travellers who see escape as an extension of personal style. 
Because here, on the edge of Spain’s most glamorous shoreline, luxury isn’t loud. It’s in the details: the fold of linen on a sunbed, the perfect al dente bite of pasta, the way the sea catches the light just before evening. And like the perfect summer dress, it’s something you’ll never want to take off.
