The Roman Baths overlooking the Guadalmina Golf Course
The Roman Baths of Las Bóvedas, located in the Guadalmina area (San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella), are one of the most remarkable archaeological sites on the Costa del Sol. This thermal complex, built between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, was part of the ancient Roman city of Cilniana and is considered one of the best-preserved examples of its kind in Spain.
The building is notable for its unique architecture: a central space surrounded by seven interconnected vaulted rooms, covered with high domes and vaults. Inside, the Romans enjoyed cold, warm, and hot baths thanks to an advanced underground heating system (hypocaust), as well as areas for rest and socializing.
Today, visitors can stroll among its ancient walls while contemplating the unique contrast between history and landscape: the ruins are located beside the river and very close to the sea, overlooking the Guadalmina golf course. This setting creates a special experience where past and present merge. An ideal place for those seeking to discover the more cultural and authentic side of Marbella, beyond the sun and the beach.
