Austria-based medical wellness resort operator Lanserhof Group has announced plans to open a new health destination near Marbella in Spain.

The property will mark Lanserhof’s fourth European resort and join its portfolio of destinations located in Lans (Austria), Tegernsee and Sylt (Germany), as well as clinics in London and Hamburg.

The 24,000sq m resort will feature 70 rooms and high-end wellness facilities as well as medical equipment and services. In addition, Lanserhof will aim to operate it at the highest sustainability standards.

The upcoming Lanserhof outpost will be located within the renowned Finca Cortesin resort, which is centred around an award-winning hotel and a golf course.

For this project, Lanserhof has partnered with AltamarCAM, a global asset manager specialising in private markets, and Spanish real estate investment group Inbest-GPF.

The two companies will invest more than €100 million (US$105.4 million, £86.8 million) in the development of a state-of-the-art building.

"From the North to the South – following the recent opening of our location in Sylt, we’re excited to extend our presence into Southern Europe," said Dr Christian Harisch, Lanserhof CEO.

"This is an exciting time for the group as we strive to expand our offerings and provide more people with access to our world-class health services.

“We look forward to working with AltamarCAM and GPF Capital in this opportunity to extend our expertise further throughout Europe.”

Following the recent signing of the transaction in Madrid, and upon completion of the licensing phase, construction is set to start in mid-2024 and the doors to Spain's first Lanserhof are expected to open in 2026.
