Welcome to
The Curvy
Here at the curvy we pride ourselves in making you feel as welcome as possible in a warm, homely, relaxed environment whilst recovering from your surgery. The aim was to create a space where patients can interact and share their process of recovery in order to feel at ease in a foreign environment. The hearty atmosphere adds warmth to the already pleasant temperatures of Marbella. Located only 5 minutes from the town center, The Curvy is a short car journey from Marbella’s plentiful amenities including the famous beaches and intriguing Old town.
Facilities
Food
Pool
The Curvy offers full board, all inclusive prices which means that guests will be able to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout their stay. Everyday you will be offered a list from which you can choose the following day’s breakfast. If you are particularly immobile the first day after your surgery, the breakfast and lunch can be served to you in your room. We find it important for our patients to try to get up and move around, so we urge them to try to eat socially once they feel able to. Dinner will be prepared and left in the kitchen for you to heat up when you’re hungry.
All guests are welcome to use the pool at any given time but please be very aware of the post-operative instructions given by the doctor as your healthy recovery is more important than a quick dip.
Beverages
