Marbella opens public information for a five-star hotel

The Marbella City Council has opened for public review the implementation of a five-star hotel on plot 11 of polygon 5, on the Ojén road (A355), according to the announcement published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga on October 15, 2026. The file is disseminated under the number Edict 3823/2026, within the city council announcements section. The publication opens the consultation process for residents, holders of affected rights, and promoters interested in the project.

The Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga includes the announcement in its section 2, reserved for the province’s city councils, with the literal heading “Public information for the implementation of a 5-star hotel on plot 11 polygon 5 ctra. Ojén A355 in Marbella.” The edict is issued by the Marbella City Council, the local government responsible for processing the hotel implementation within its municipal boundaries.

Public information is the procedure by which an administrative file is made available to any person—and specifically to interested parties—before its final resolution. The bulletin summary does not detail the period for filing objections, the resolving body, nor the planned surface area or buildability: these details appear in the full text of the edict and on the notice board of the Marbella City Council.

A five-star hotel next to the Ojén road

The announcement precisely identifies the location of the project: plot 11 of polygon 5, on the Ojén road, identified in the edict as “ctra. Ojén A355,” within the municipality of Marbella. The declared category is five stars, the highest in the hotel classification system.

Location: plot 11 of polygon 5, Ojén road (A355), Marbella.
Intended use: implementation of a five-star hotel establishment.
Procedure: public information prior to the resolution of the municipal file.
Official reference: Edict 3823/2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga on October 15, 2026.

Urban planning background in the municipality

The announcement adds to a series of urban planning files from Marbella that the provincial gazette has been publishing in recent weeks. On August 28, 2026, the public information for the land redistribution project of sector URP-RR-5 “Río Real Golf 2nd phase” appeared (Edict 3339/2026); on September 7, the delimitation of phases for the urbanization project of sector URP-AL-1 “El Barronal” (Edict 3440/2026); and on October 8, the urbanization and external charges project for sector URP-RR-7 “El Pinar” (Edict 3648/2026).

Added to this are other announcements from the same city council collected by the bulletin, such as the call for 14 Administrative positions (Edict 3342/2026), the modification of the call to fill 34 General Administration Assistant positions (Edict 3582/2026), and the composition of the Marbella Zonal Electoral Board for the 2026 General Elections (Edict 3968/2026).

Who is affected and what can be alleged

Residents and property owners in the vicinity of the Ojén road, who may appear as interested parties in the proceedings.
The local tourism sector, due to the effect of a new higher-category hotel capacity in the area.
Developers and companies interested in the implementation, who must adjust their project to the resolution of the Marbella City Council.
Administrations and agencies that must provide reports on the proceedings prior to approval.

The public information process is not equivalent to an authorization: it is the moment when the file is displayed so that allegations and observations may be submitted. The subsequent resolution corresponds to the Marbella City Council, which must assess the allegations before deciding on the implementation.

The relevance of the announcement is twofold. For local residents, it marks the formal start of a project that could alter the environment of the Ojén road. For the municipality, it confirms the investment pressure on the luxury hotel segment in Marbella, in a context where the provincial bulletin lists a series of urban development proceedings in various sectors of the municipal district.
