A beloved holiday destination in Costa del Sol in Spain, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella Resort has been honoured with a MICHELIN Key at the inaugural awards ceremony for Spain on 29 April 2024. Echoing the renowned MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys guide directs discerning travellers to exceptional hotel experiences.
With only 97 properties in Spain receiving the distinction, the award acknowledges Anantara Villa Padierna’s unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled service and an exceptional guest experience. The MICHELIN Keys are conferred following anonymous evaluations by the guide’s seasoned inspectors, independent of any existing classifications or ratings. Since its inception in April of this year, the keys have rapidly established themselves as an international benchmark, guiding travellers to hotels that stand out for their distinctive concept, personality and exemplary service standards.
Being awarded a MICHELIN Key is a testament to Anantara Villa Padierna’s dedication to excellence in hospitality. For 124 years, the MICHELIN Guide has been directing travellers to the finest experiences, and we are excited for the resort to be part of this new chapter. Our inclusion in this esteemed list is an honour and a reflection of the unforgettable experiences we provide to our guests.Jorge Manzur, General Manager of Anantara Villa Padierna
