What is your secret, what would you highlight about your spa?
Without a doubt, I would highlight its privileged location: a true oasis of beauty and wellness.
Situated on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, is Las Dunas Hotel Health & Spa *****GL, the first address among the health hotels in the area.
Between Estepona and Marbella, just a few minutes from the elegant Puerto Banús and only 15 minutes by car from the old town of Marbella, this majestic hotel specializing in nutrition and dietetics with Mediterranean inspiration is among the most glamorous on the Costa del Sol.
Las Dunas Hotel Health & Spa *****GL is synonymous with comfort, elegance, and avant-garde design.

The most demanded treatment
Our most popular treatment is undoubtedly the Manual Underwater Massage, an excellent ally in weight loss.
It is an individual bath that allows you to perform a sophisticated form of classical massage in water. Through a pressurized water jet and directed at all times by a therapist. It promotes relaxation, releasing muscle tension. It is the perfect choice to combat cellulite and reshape the figure; it improves blood circulation and activates lymphatic circulation, eliminating toxins and relaxing the muscles in depth.
It is also worth mentioning our star wrap:
The Mediterranean Peeling and Body Wrap. It renews the texture of the skin and refines it. Its illuminating effect restores your skin's natural hydration and transforms and remineralizes your body. Perfectly combinable with any of the facial treatments in our menu of services to enhance its beautifying effects.
About the exclusive treatments of our menu
For our most demanding guests, we have designed two experiences of true luxury and well-being:
- To enjoy as a couple: Spa Suite: A true sanctuary for relaxation, a special Suite designed to have 2 personal therapists for relaxing treatments of 50 min, with Jacuzzi or for couples who want to share a luxurious therapeutic experience with sauna included.
- Ekilum Private Spa: The only private spa exclusively for groups on the Costa del Sol. This state-of-the-art private SPA is designed for those who wish to disconnect and relax in an intimate atmosphere with friends or loved ones, and enjoy a place reserved for exclusive use.
In addition to the spa, they also offer numerous specialized health programs. Could you tell us more about your proposal?
We are immersed in times of change and renewal. The mental health of the population worsened during the pandemic caused by Covid19.
Based on the growing worldwide epidemics of stress, sleep deprivation and overexposure to electronic devices, it makes sense for spas to analyze how they can incorporate mental wellness interventions into their services.
Traditional wellness activities, such as meditation, yoga, exercise and good nutrition, can help mental health.
Some benefits of the spa for physical and mental health are: helping with sleep problems, reducing stress, improving cardiovascular health, fighting diabetes, eliminating toxins, increasing self-confidence...
Wellness is the star experience. Vacations can become a time to improve our life and fitness in different ways: doing pilates, practicing yoga, mindfulness, losing weight, detoxing, fitness training, enjoying spa treatments... or simply improving our health.
