A winter wedding in Marbella is a special kind of magic. The soft, cooler air, tranquil surroundings, and twinkling lights create an atmosphere that’s both romantic and enchanting. For couples seeking a one-of-a-kind experience that goes beyond the traditional summer/autumn wedding in Spain, a winter celebration at The Sanctuary Marbella is an opportunity to create something truly unforgettable. Nestled in the stunning rolling hills of Benahavís, The Sanctuary offers a luxury wedding venue that combines elegance, exclusivity, and impeccable service, all while embracing the beauty of the winter season on the Costa del Sol.
The Magic of Winter
Winter weddings offer a unique charm that’s hard to replicate at any other time of year. With cooler temperatures, the landscape takes on a distinct calmness, creating an intimate and cosy environment that’s perfect for a wedding celebration. At The Sanctuary, this sense of calm is magnified by the lush gardens, sprawling grounds, and picturesque views of the Mediterranean coastline.
For couples seeking a more personalised experience, winter is also the ideal season due to its quieter nature. Marbella, known for its vibrant summer atmosphere, transforms into a tranquil haven during the winter months. With fewer crowds and a peaceful setting, The Sanctuary offers the perfect backdrop for a lavish event with family and friends.
Stunning Winter Scenery at The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary’s stunning grounds become even more beautiful in the winter months. Imagine exchanging vows in the lush courtyard garden, where the crisp air is complemented by the warmth of outdoor heaters and the soft glow of fairy lights. Or, take your celebration inside one of our beautifully designed event spaces, featuring elegant decor, luxurious furnishings, and expansive windows that frame the breathtaking views.
The rolling hills surrounding The Sanctuary provide a mesmerising backdrop for wedding photos, while the Mediterranean Sea glistens in the distance. Whether you prefer the vibrant colours of the sunset over the water or the soft, misty mornings in the hills, our venue offers countless opportunities for stunning wedding photography that will capture the essence of your winter celebration.
Weatherproof Venue with Versatile Spaces
One of the biggest concerns for winter weddings in Marbella is, of course, the weather. The cooler months can be slightly unpredictable, but at The Sanctuary, we’ve got you covered—literally. With a range of indoor and outdoor spaces, we can ensure that your day goes off without a hitch, regardless of what the weather might bring. Our expansive yoga studio can be transformed into a cosy ceremony hall or a chic reception area, complete with plush seating, ambient lighting, and elegant floral arrangements.
The spacious living and dining areas in the main villa provide the perfect space for post-ceremony celebrations. Here, guests can mingle over cocktails or sit down to a gourmet dinner in a relaxed, elegant setting. And if the weather is good (which it is, 90% of the time!), our outdoor terrace and garden areas, equipped with cosy blankets, allow your guests to enjoy the fresh winter air without sacrificing comfort.
A Unique Experience with Tailored Decorations and Themes
The beauty of a winter wedding lies in its versatility. Whether you envision a classic winter wonderland theme or a more modern, minimalist approach, The Sanctuary can help bring your vision to life. Our team is experienced in creating bespoke decorations that reflect your style, from sparkling fairy lights and elegant table settings to festive floral arrangements and warm, inviting colour palettes.
Personal touches like luxurious blankets for guests, candlelit tables, and custom hot drink stations can be arranged to enhance the seasonal charm. Our team will work closely with you to design a wedding that’s not only beautiful but also truly unique to you.
Catering Options for the Winter Season
Winter is the perfect time to indulge in a rich and flavourful menu, and The Sanctuary’s catering options are designed to do just that. We work with top private chefs to create seasonal menus that showcase the best local produce, with options ranging from traditional Andalucían dishes to gourmet international cuisine.
Think hearty main courses paired with fine wines, cakes and pastries, and warm drinks like mulled wine or hot chocolate. Whether it’s an elegant sit-down dinner or a more relaxed buffet-style meal, we’ll ensure that your wedding feast is as memorable as the celebration itself.
On-Site Luxury Accommodation for the Entire Wedding Party
One of the unique features of The Sanctuary is our on-site accommodation, which can host up to 32 guests across our 14 luxurious bedrooms. This allows your closest family and friends to stay on-site, making your wedding more than just a one-day affair. Imagine waking up on the morning of your wedding to the sound of birds singing, or enjoying a relaxed breakfast with your guests in the villa’s elegant dining room.
With amenities such as a state-of-the-art fitness studio, yoga studio, and a private spa, your wedding party can also enjoy some relaxation and pampering during their stay. It’s not just a wedding venue—it’s an all-encompassing retreat where everyone can unwind and create lifelong memories.
