She didn't lose any game in the whole tournament.[50] Continuing her scintillating form, she won the second edition of Thailand Open, the Toyota Thailand Open, also a super 1000 event by beating Tai yet again.[51] In contesting her first-ever World Tour Finals final, she lost to same rival Tai in three games after failing to capitalize her lead in the final game.[52] She won her first world tour title in Switzerland by beating reigning World champion P. V. Sindhu with a very dominating display, winning 21–12, 21–5.[53] Marín planned to compete at the All England Open but pulled out of the competition due to an injury she suffered in the first round of the Swiss Open.[54][55]

She repeated this result at the India Open, falling to Akane Yamaguchi in three games. At the Indonesia Masters, Marín defeated Hsu Wen-chi, Busanan Ongbamrungphan, Line Christophersen, and Han Yue to reach her first final in nearly two years. She faced world number two An Se-young in a three-game match lasting 80 minutes, ultimately losing.

In March, Marín reached the quarterfinals of All England Open Championship but withdrew due to injury, giving An Se-young a walkover. She returned home for the Spain Masters, reaching the semifinals before being defeated by Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in three games. Marín claimed her first title in over two years at the Orléans Masters, a Super 300 event, after defeating Beiwen Zhang in a three-game final.

In June, Marín faced world number one An Se-young in the Thailand Open semifinals, losing in straight games. The Singapore Open marked the first time in 2023 that she failed to reach a tournament quarterfinal as she lost to Supanida Katethong in the second round. However, She rebounded at the Indonesia Open, a Super 1000 event, defeating Goh Jin Wei, Yeo Jia Min, Tai Tzu-ying, and Ratchanok Intanon to reach the final. There, she lost again to Chen Yufei with an 18-21, 19-21 scoreline, mirroring their Malaysia Open match result. Marín capped off June by representing Spain at the European Games, winning her first gold medal in the tournament with a straight-game victory over Mia Blichfeldt.

Entering the World Championships taking place in Denmark as the sixth seed, Marín exceeded expectations as She defeated top-four players Tai Tzu-ying and Akane Yamaguchi en route to her fourth World Championship final. There, she lost in straight games to top-seeded An Se-young, earning a silver medal. In September, she reached the quarterfinals of both the China Open Super 1000 event and Hong Kong Open Super 500 event.

In October, Marín's strong year-to-date performance saw her return to the world number five ranking. She reached the final of the Denmark Open Super 750 event, with a notable semifinal win over Tai Tzu-ying, there she lost to Chen Yufei in straight games. This semifinal was marked by her tension with P.V. Sindhu over shuttle post-rally returns and screams, resulting in yellow cards for both players; both players later publicly apologised and reconciled.[59] At the French Open, Marín suffered an upset loss to Aya Ohori in the quarterfinals. Further results included reaching the quarterfinals of the Japan Masters and round of 32 at the China Masters (upset by unseeded Nguyễn Thùy Linh).

Her world tour ranking of number four qualified Marín for the $2.5-million-prized year-end World Tour Finals. She won all her round-robin matches without dropping a game, including a notable victory over Chen Yufei. After defeating Chen Yufei again in a three-game, 104-minute semifinal, Marín reached her first-ever World Tour Finals final. She lost to Tai Tzu-ying in three games, earning a silver medal. Marín's total 2023 prize money of $257,335 placed her as the year's fourteenth highest-earning badminton player.[60]

2024: All England title, record-breaking seventh continental championship gold medal

Marín began 2024 by opting out of BWF tournaments in January and February, citing continued recovery from injuries.[61] Her return to competition was at the European Men's and Women's Team Badminton Championships as part of the Spain's national team. Despite Marín's individual victories over Kirsty Gilmour and Line Kjærsfeldt in the semifinals and finals, respectively, her team finished as runners-up in the tournament.

In March, Marín experienced an early exit at the French Open, losing to Beiwen Zhang in the opening round. However, she rebounded at the prestigious All England Open Super 1000 event. En route to the final, she had notable victories over Wang Zhi Yi, Chen Yufei, and Tai Tzu Ying. In her final match against Akane Yamaguchi, Marín secured a hard-fought victory in the first game (26-24) and was leading 11-1 in the second game when Yamaguchi retired due to injury, granting Marín her second All England title after a nine-year interval. In the following week, Marín extended her winning streak by clinching her second title of the year, the Swiss Open Super 300 title, thus becoming the oldest women’s singles player in 16 years to achieve this feat, following Zhang Ning's triumph in 2007. In the quest for her second Swiss Open title, she defeated Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in a hard fought final, with a scoreline of 21-19, 13-21, 22-20.

In April, Marín successfuly defended her European Championships title without dropping a game throughout the whole tournament. This achievment helped Marín become the only player in badminton history to win seven gold medals at a single category of a continental championship, as she has won the European Championships consecutively since 2014.
