THE ASH & KEY COLLECTION
Puerto Banús · Marbella
ME Marbella
Design, pool days and a sociable Marbella address.
WHY IT BELONGS HERE
A contemporary base with energy of its own.
ME Marbella suits a visitor who wants the hotel to contribute to the social side of the holiday. Contemporary interiors, garden and pool spaces, and the proximity of Puerto Banús create a stay that can move easily from a slow morning to an evening out. Its current identity is distinct from the former Meliá Marbella Banús, so the new rooms and dining programme are the useful starting point for planning.
We would choose it for a couple or friends who appreciate design and like to keep restaurants and the marina within their plans. The premium ME+ categories add another layer of service, but the sensible comparison is between the space, outlook and benefits you will actually use. A garden suite, a balcony over the pool and a larger two-bedroom arrangement answer quite different needs.
A good match if…

Think about your priorities.
Check the room's relationship to the pool and entertainment areas if quiet afternoons or early nights are important.

YOUR ROOM, YOUR WAY OF STAYING
Choose the space that suits you.
What we would consider
A junior-suite label does not always mean a separate bedroom: some published categories are the same size as an Always ME room. Ask for a floor plan when privacy matters. For ME+, request the benefits attached to your specific rate, including any transfer, parking or reserved-lounger arrangements; these should not be assumed from the name alone.
| Category | Published size | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|
| Always ME | 35 m² | A balcony room; compare the standard outlook with the Oasis-view version. |
| Superior ME+ Junior Suite Oasis View | 35 m² | Pool outlook with the ME+ service offering. |
| Extra ME+ Junior Suite Private Garden | 40 m² | An outdoor garden connection for guests who value time outside the room. |
| Extra ME+ Junior Suite | 47 m² | A larger junior-suite option with garden outlook. |
| Beyond ME+ Suite | 70 m² | Additional space for a longer stay. |
| Exclusive ME+ Two Bedroom Suite | 95 m² | A two-bedroom choice for guests sharing the trip. |
Published areas may include outdoor space. Confirm the exact layout, occupancy and inclusions for the room offered.
Everyday comforts
The published room offering includes contemporary technology, rain showers and private outdoor space in several categories. Our priority would be a layout that feels comfortable for the way you travel, with enough storage and privacy if you are staying more than a weekend.
BEYOND THE ROOM
Time well spent.
Fitness
The hotel lists a gym for keeping up a training routine. If a specific piece of equipment or class matters, ask before arrival rather than relying on a general fitness label.
ME+ planning
The premium service is most useful when it simplifies the details that matter to you. We would compare the complete package with a standard room plus the few extras you actually want.
The marina and beach
Allow time to explore Puerto Banús and the coast beyond the hotel. It is a useful way to decide how close you want to be to the shops, restaurants and evening activity during a longer stay.
AT THE TABLE
Make a meal of the occasion.
Oasis Grill and Oasis Pool Club
The current restaurant line-up includes fire-led dining at Oasis Grill and a pool-club setting for food, drinks and music. Choose the mood you want, and check the programme for your dates.
La Neta
The hotel's Mexican restaurant offers another reason to remain on site for an evening. We would balance that with an outing to the marina, keeping the stay varied without planning a long drive every night.

Worth knowing
The positive accounts do not mean every guest values the experience equally: value-for-money scores are lower than comfort in the public review breakdown. Compare the complete rate and included services, and use reviews of the current ME operation rather than assuming older Meliá Banús accounts describe it.
Selected public guest accounts, paraphrased and checked on 26 October 2026. These individual experiences are not a representative survey or a promise of the same stay.
Our takeaway
A good fit for design and social energy, with the premium tier chosen for practical benefits rather than the badge.
