Manchester United are living a life of luxury after heading to Marbella for warm-weather training during the Premier League’s winter break.
United’s squad are staying in the five-star Kempinski Hotel in the luxury beachfront resort of Estepona near Marbella, as they train on Spain’s Costa del Sol ahead of their clash at Chelsea next Monday.
The hotel boasts the £2,000-a-night Suite del Mar, an exclusive luxury suite with a 180 degree view overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
The Suite del Mar has its own private terrace fitted with sunbeds and outdoor furniture as well as a Jacuzzi, and a private dining area for up to 12 guests.
Guests are welcomed with a bottle of champagne upon arrival and are treated with everyday free refills of the mini bar soft drinks and spirits, while they can also enjoy a lavish breakfast buffet each day.

The suite accommodates up to four people with separate living room and bedroom, a king-size bed, marble bathroom, walk-in wardrobes, wifi internet and flat-screen TV with satellite channels. There is also butler service on request.
United players will have access to the hotel’s three outdoor swimming pools, gardens and a spa, as well as fitness studio with free fitness activities and tennis courts. The spa features a sauna, steam room, indoor pool and six treatment rooms.
The Kempinski also has a buffet restaurant and three further restaurants, offering a range of Mediterranean cuisine, with guests able to enjoy a drink on the terrace or at the poolside snack bar.

The hotel, which is 20 minutes from Marbella itself, is a five-minute drive from the centre of Estepona and five-minute walk from the Laguna Village shopping centre, offering several restaurants, beachclubs and clothing boutiques.
There are also plenty of golf courses in the area, which is bound to go down well with many of United’s players during their down time from training.
