The luxury tier
Luxury hotels in Spain
Some of the best hotels in Spain do two things at once: a proper city stay and a proper spa. Barcelona, Madrid and Seville carry the grand urban houses; Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Ibiza, Menorca and Mallorca carry the coast; Tenerife runs year-round warm.
Every hotel on this page is five-star or from a recognised luxury group, and each has cleared our checks on spa depth and guest scores. Choose one and we build the trip around it — flights from home, the treatments, and the food worth planning your evenings around.

Good questions
Which part of Spain is best for a luxury spa break?
For winter warmth, Tenerife and the Canaries hold their temperature when the mainland cools. For a coast-and-spa week, Marbella and the Balearics have the deepest five-star inventory. For a short city break with a serious spa attached, Barcelona, Madrid and Seville are the strongest.
Can I do a luxury Spanish break in a long weekend?
Yes — the cities and the Costa del Sol are inside a short flight from most of the UK, so two nights works comfortably. Our planner shows you the real time away, including the journey, before you commit.
Is it more expensive to book through Retreat48?
No. You pay the booking partner's normal price. We're paid a commission by the partner, and it never affects how we rank stays.
