4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Marbella

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Marbella is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices are typically lower. For those keen to explore the city’s key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows you to enjoy budget-friendly experiences such as visiting charming cafes, indulging in the local dining scene, and discovering the marina. With its rich history and cultural offerings, Marbella provides great value for money for travellers looking to soak up its unique charm without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals in Marbella, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on luxury hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, which could lead to great savings on hotels. Additionally, use the Smart Shopping tool via the app to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can act quickly if prices drop or new rooms become available, making your last-minute getaway even more appealing.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay at a hotel in Marbella. If you're after something a bit different, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
