Private healthcare provision in Marbella has been strengthened with a significant new expansion. Hospital Quirónsalud Marbella has opened a new surgical block and enlarged its Day Hospital, adding more space for operations, recovery and treatments that do not require an overnight stay.

The new area forms part of the hospital’s wider development plan and is already operational. In total, it includes four new operating theatres, ten recovery stations and ten individual Day Hospital rooms, increasing the centre’s capacity for surgical procedures and outpatient care.

Four new operating theatres to increase surgical capacity

One of the most important additions is the opening of four operating theatres equipped with advanced technology.

The expansion gives the hospital more space to organise surgical activity and improve the way patients move through the different stages before and after an operation.

Alongside the theatres, the hospital has also created ten recovery stations, designed for monitoring patients immediately after certain procedures.

According to the hospital, the expansion responds to the sustained growth in activity and to increasingly specialised healthcare needs.

A new Day Hospital with ten individual rooms

The project also includes ten individual rooms in the Day Hospital.

These units are designed for treatments, tests and medical procedures that can be completed without requiring an overnight hospital stay.

The use of individual rooms also aims to improve privacy and comfort while allowing the hospital to organise care more efficiently.

By connecting surgical activity with recovery and Day Hospital areas, the new design is intended to create a smoother patient journey and reduce unnecessary movement within the hospital.

More healthcare capacity in an area with a large international population

The location makes the expansion especially relevant.

Marbella and the western Costa del Sol have a large resident population, while also receiving significant numbers of visitors and second-home owners throughout much of the year.

In that context, access to a broad range of healthcare services — both public and private — is an important factor for people living in the area or considering moving there.

Hospital Quirónsalud Marbella is located at Avenida Severo Ochoa, 22 and offers hospitalisation, intensive care, emergency services, specialist consultations, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation and other medical services.

An expansion focused on the patient recovery process

The project is not simply about increasing the number of available rooms.

The new surgical block has also been designed around the patient’s journey from entering the operating area through to post-operative recovery.

The addition of ten recovery stations and individual Day Hospital rooms is intended to support continuity of care and adapt the facilities to increasingly specialised medical procedures.

Hospital Quirónsalud Marbella’s medical director, Dr Miguel Ángel Ramírez Marrero, explained in the hospital’s official announcement that the expansion is intended to increase capacity and respond more efficiently to growing demand.

Marbella strengthens its healthcare services

The opening of the new facilities adds further capacity to Marbella’s healthcare network at a time when medical services are becoming increasingly important for both permanent residents and the international community.

Private healthcare is also part of the wider service infrastructure that supports residential growth on the Costa del Sol, alongside international schools, specialist clinics, home-care services and other wellbeing-related businesses.

For people living in Marbella and the surrounding area, the expansion means more infrastructure dedicated to surgery, recovery and Day Hospital treatment within the same medical centre.
