Castillo de Monda rises from the hills of Andalusia like a dream spun from centuries of legend and light, a fairytale fortress whose weathered stone walls glow in the golden hour, where the scent of orange blossoms drifts through vine-clad courtyards and the distant Mediterranean shimmers beneath a canvas of flamingo-pink skies.
Castillo de Monda + Marbella
Here, love stories are etched into archways and courtyards, whispered by the breeze that dances through ivy-woven balconies and the ancient oaks guarding hidden passages. As you step through the iron-clad gates, you leave the world behind and enter a realm where time slows to the rhythm of your heartbeat, where every detail, from sunlit terraces and ornate fountains to rustling olive groves, becomes part of your own timeless romance.
Castillo de Monda offers an array of versatile spaces to suit every style of celebration. Exchange vows beneath an open-air loggia framed by Moorish arches or in the intimate courtyard kissed by moonlight, then wander through frescoed halls and candlelit galleries before arriving at your reception. With 29 individually styled bedrooms accommodating up to 70 guests, and space for celebrations from as few as 20 to grand gatherings of 150 plus, the castle combines boutique intimacy with the freedom to dream big. Exclusive use of the property means you and your loved ones have the fortress, its enchanting salt-water pool, lush rooftop garden and shaded terraces all to yourselves for an unforgettable weekend of revelry.
Our culinary team, led by Chef Jaap Schaafsma, crafts bespoke menus that marry international fine-dining techniques with the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean. Sourced from local markets and kissed by the sun, every ingredient, from garden-fresh heirloom tomatoes to hand-picked herbs, becomes part of a personalised gastronomic journey. Choose from plated service beneath vaulted ceilings, lively family-style feasts under the stars, or interactive stations that delight the senses and tell the story of your love through flavour.
Service at Castillo de Monda is as seamless as it is attentive. Your dedicated wedding planner will guide you through each decision, from floral design and lighting to entertainment, while our discreet, highly trained staff ensure that every moment unfolds without a hitch. Whether arranging fireworks over the valley or orchestrating a surprise serenade at dusk, we take pride in transforming your vision into an enchanting reality.
Just 30 minutes away from Malaga International Airport, this exclusive mansion with its stunning surrounding landscape creates a perfect setting for your big day, with no sound curfew you can party into the night. Suppliers can be recommended or you are free to choose and hire your own.

How do you manage the wedding day timeline?
A smooth wedding day relies on precise timing. After your initial planning meetings, we draft a comprehensive timeline that maps every moment, from guest arrivals and ceremony start time through to the final dance. We factor in vendor setup, photography sessions, speeches, meal service and entertainment transitions, and we build in buffer periods for any unforeseen delays. Once finalised, this timeline is distributed to all key suppliers and your wedding party. On the day, your wedding coordinator serves as the master of ceremonies, gently keeping everyone on schedule and adjusting in real time should anything run ahead or behind.

We handle all contract negotiations, deposit payments and final balances, confirm delivery and setup requirements, and manage timings. In the lead-up week, we conduct detailed run-through calls or site visits with each vendor to finalise logistics. On the wedding day, we oversee vendor arrivals, setup and breakdown, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
