13 Best Beach Clubs in Marbella (A Local’s Favourites)
Whether you want to chill out with your partner sipping cocktails at sunset or party all day long with friends, there are plenty of fantastic beach clubs in Marbella.
Although most beach clubs are open from May to September, you can still enjoy some during the off-season.
Is there anything better than being sun-kissed on a golden sand beach with great company and music?
I’m not the biggest partygoer, but I love the atmosphere of Marbella beach clubs and restaurants. There’s something about them!
Are you ready to discover the top-notch beach clubs in the city? I’ve compiled this list based on the popular beach clubs, my friends, and my favourites.

1. Amare Beach Club
Amare Beach Club is one of my favourite beach clubs in Marbella city centre. It belongs to the Hotel Amàre Marbella, an adult-only hotel. All their facilities, including the beach club, can be enjoyed by anyone older than 16.
It’s small, cosy, and has plenty of comfortable and spacious sunbeds you can rent for the day. The price of these varies depending on the month and if there’s any special event. They’re only free for the hotel guests.
Their menu is packed with healthy and light bites that anyone can fancy on a hot day in Marbella. You can have anything from sushi and tropical salad with prawns to salmorejo and tuna tartar.
Personally, I believe that daily live music is what makes Amare Beach Club one of the best in this area of Marbella. The music is fantastic, and the atmosphere is so good!
Another great thing is their boozy drinks. They are unique and innovative. Not only can you drink the classic mojito, but also their signature cocktails, which you won’t find anywhere else.
📅 May to September
📍 Address: P.º Alfonso Cañas Nogueras, 29603 Marbella, Málaga
2. Nikki Beach
Who hasn’t heard of Nikki Beach Marbella? Located next to the Don Carlos Hotel, it’s Marbella’s most renowned beach club. It’s one of the best beach clubs in Marbella for partygoers.
The club opened in 2003 and continues to be a popular choice for many reasons: its luxury vibes, fantastic live music and events, scrumptious food, and spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you have time, I recommend spending the day at Nikki Beach. If you plan to hire a beach bed or pool dock, you must book in advance; otherwise, you probably won’t get one.
Prices vary for the pool and beach areas. A single sun lounger typically costs €50 for two people. However, a pool deck bed starts from 500 euros for four people and includes a bottle of champagne.
Nikki Beach’s pool area is only for adults, but you can visit their beach and restaurant with children.
Their menu offers international dishes made with local products, and although you can have good and beautifully presented food, the prices are moderate to high. However, if you’re up for a treat, there’s nothing else to say.
A day at Nikki Beach is guaranteed to be fun.
📅 Open from April to September
3. Marbella Club
Marbella Beach Club belongs to the five-star Marbella Club Hotel located on the Golden Mile.
This beach club is full of sophistication, from its beautiful pastel colours and Mexican touches to its excellent cocktails.
They have a raw bar serving delicious and fresh ceviche, tartare and carpaccio, but you can also enjoy delicious grilled fish and seafood or a ribeye black Angus steak.
The prices are higher than those of many other restaurants in Marbella, but the presentation of the dishes speaks for itself.
My favourite part of this beach club is its pier. There’s nothing more magical than watching the sunset with your partner while sipping a cocktail or a glass of wine.
During the summer, you can get a day pass access to the pool and a three-course lunch at Beach Club for €180 per person.
📅 The restaurant is open all year round
📍 Address: Av. Bulevar Príncipe Alfonso de Hohenlohe, s/n, 29602 Marbella, Málaga
4. Dune Beach Club Marbella
One of my recent favourite beach clubs is Dune Beach. I visited it just before the peak season and had a lovely meal and time there.
The menu has a good variety of international dishes, so it isn’t the place I’d recommend for Spanish food. However, the food is tasty, and the portions are reasonable.
The atmosphere at Dune Beach is fantastic. Unlike other beach clubs, you feel like you’re secluded in the dunes, and the views are simply stunning (check the photo on the left!)
Besides enjoying the food, drinks and music, you can get an individual sunbed for €40. This also includes towels and waiter service.
📍 Address: Av. Cervantes, S/N, 29604 Marbella, Málaga
5. Ocean Club Marbella
Ocean Club Marbella is one of the best beach clubs in Puerto Banus, Marbella’s glamorous port, well-known for its expensive yachts and designer boutiques.
Ocean Club won’t disappoint you if you’re after a chic and luxurious beach club. The location is perfect and overlooks the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea.
Comfortable sunbeds, a huge saltwater pool and the DJ’s live music and dancers make it a memorable day.
The atmosphere is brilliant, and I absolutely love the aesthetic. This club is definitely instagrammable!
They have a wide range of classic cocktails, but their innovative signature drinks are worth trying. You have plenty of options for the food, from light and healthy sushi and salads to delicious wraps, pizza, and pasta.
The beach club is open from May to September, with July and August being the peak season, so book your beds or table in advance to avoid disappointment.
A sun bed for a maximum of three people can cost 195 euros during the low season.
📅 Open from May to September
📍 Address: Av. de Lola Flores, s/n, Nueva Andalucía, 29660 Marbella, Málaga
6. La Cabane Marbella
La Cabane is my top choice if you’re looking for a glamorous but laid-back beach club.
The pool is huge and overlooks the beautiful sea, the decoration is simple but beautiful with blue and white details (in fact, the decor is inspired by Dolce & Gabbana), and the food quality is impressive.
Book one of their Balinese-style beds and eat while enjoying the sunshine and live music. La Cabane makes you feel like you’re on the Amalfi Coast.
Sunbeds are approximately 35 euros per day, while a VIP Balinese-style bed for two people is 190 euros and includes a bottle of champagne, a fruit platter, and towels.
The pool menu is like no other, and you can eat interesting but delicious combinations like Lobster, Mango and Basil Salad or a Black Truffle Carbonara Pizza.
When it comes to drinks, you must try their signature cocktail, Light Blue D&G, made with Bombay Sapphire, sherry, lemongrass, and vanilla smoke.
Overall, La Cabanne is the best beach club in Marbella for a glamorous afternoon!
📅 Open from late May/early June to September
📍 Address: C. Jabalí, 29603 Marbella, Málaga
7. Playa Nini Beach
Playa Nini Beach is one of the best beach clubs in San Pedro de Alcantara, which is still part of Marbella despite its distance.
The place is aesthetically pleasing and has plenty of seating inside and outside. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and have fantastic cocktails.
Their fish dishes are worth trying, and I absolutely love their sunbeds. They’re super comfortable and are directly facing the sea.
If you’re up for a relaxing day with food and drinks at the beach in San Pedro de Alcantara, Playa Nini Beach is your best choice.
📅 The restaurant is open all year round
8. La Sala By The Sea
Another famous Puerto Banus beach club is La Sala By The Sea; even celebrities like Craig David have come to this club.
The staff is friendly, the atmosphere and live music are ten out of ten, and the food is gorgeous.
Book a pool or beach bed, get sun-kissed and sip delicious cocktails while having a blast with your girlfriends or chilling with your partner.
Their restaurant specialises in Thai cuisine, so get ready to eat some delicious Pad Thai with prawns, a Thai Green Curry or Crispy Duck with Pancakes and Hoisin Sauce. However, if you don’t like Asian cuisine, there are also a few salads, burgers and steak.
A good thing about La Sala by The Sea is that you don’t need to pay an entrance fee to see what it is like; however, you can’t use the pool facilities without a bed booking.
Pool bed prices for one person start from 60 euros, and beach bed prices start from 20 euros. You can check the 2026 full-price list here.
Overall, this Thai-inspired beach club is worth visiting, and I would definitely check out their events in advance.
📅 Open from April to October
📍 Address: Av. José Banús, Nueva Andalucía, 29660 Marbella, Málaga
9. Cocoa Beach Marbella
Are you staying in the Cabopino area? Then you need to visit Cocoa Beach Club.
Cabopino Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Marbella, and it’s there where you’ll find the gorgeous Cocoa Beach Club.
In the summer, get in the water and relax in their lounge chairs while sipping their delicious cocktails. In the winter, simply relax in their lovely outdoor seating on a sunny day while having a fantastic meal.
The food is nicely presented and tasty. Their Pil Pil Gambas and fish dishes are so good!
The cocktails are cheaper than those at other beach bars, but the lower price doesn’t compromise the quality and variety. Whether you love Porn Star Martini or the classic Mojito, you won’t be disappointed.
The atmosphere is laid-back, and the live music is great, too. It isn’t a place for partygoers but for those who want to have a chill day on a nice beach with cocktails and music.
📅 Open all year round
📍 Address: C. de la Playa, s/n, 29604 Marbella, Málaga
10. Calma by Koppaberg
Calma by Koppaberg is a short walk from Marbella Old Town, so it’s worth checking out if you’re staying there.
This beach club has been refurbished and renamed. It was previously called John Scott’s Beach, and I must admit I like it much more now.
The decoration was a bit quirky, but now it’s beautiful and elegant, which I absolutely love. The atmosphere is also more laid-back.
My partner and I visited not long ago and could have spent hours there. I had a piña colada, which was very good.
📅 Open all year round
📍 Address: Av. Duque de Ahumada, 361, 29602 Marbella, Málaga

11. LUUMA Beach Marbella
LUUMA is a lovely beach restaurant 15 minutes drive from Marbella Centre. Its location is stunning and much quieter than other areas in Marbella.
I love their restaurant overlooking the idyllic Mediterranean Sea, where you can relax with friends and family while feeling the breeze in your hair and listening to chill-out music.
The decoration of this beach club is lovely, with its wooden chairs and tables, green plants, and light colours that match perfectly.
The menu is based on fresh and healthy dishes made with local ingredients. You can have anything from sushi and pasta to steak and chips; they also have some vegetarian options.
The cocktails are top-notch, but if you don’t fancy alcohol, their fresh juices and smoothies are worth trying.
If you want to spend the day on the beach, they also offer sunbed rental, but it’s better to make a reservation via their website in case it’s busier than usual, and they run out of sunbeds.
📅 Open all year round
12. Siroko Beach
Siroko Beach is another family-friendly beach club in Marbella, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy its atmosphere and surroundings if you plan to go with friends or your partner.
The garden area is ideal for families with little ones, as there’s plenty of space for kids to play freely while you enjoy food or a few drinks.
The restaurant is cosy and has simple but lovely decorations. My food recommendations are the croquetas with chicken and truffle, grilled squid and lobster soupy rice, but they have a wide variety of dishes.
The beach is beautiful too. They have sunbed rental and incredible live music. Order some small bites and cocktails while listening to the amazing saxophonist.
📅 Open all year round
📍 Address: Av. Jardín de Los Pinos, 29604 Marbella, Málaga
13. The Point Marbella
Not every beach club is kid-friendly, but if you’re looking to spend the day with your kids while enjoying the perks of being on a beach club, The Point Marbella is for you.
Located next to the motorway, this beach club doesn’t get very crowded and has plenty of sunbeds directly on the beach.
On top of that, you can enjoy chilling by their pool or book a water activity like jet-skiing.
Their food menu includes everyone’s favourites, such as pizzas and steaks with chips, as well as Spanish dishes. It’s also worth trying their mouthwatering Argentinian empanadas!
📅 Open from May to September

Tips for visiting beach clubs in Marbella
- Don’t take tanning lotions or body glitter with you. Some beach clubs don’t allow them because of carotene and tints.
- This tip goes especially for anyone celebrating a hen or stag party. Many beach clubs don’t allow fancy dresses. I recommend checking the rules on their websites before turning up dressed.
- Music and entertainment start at 3 pm, so you know what to expect.

Hi Cristina,
I am coming to Marbella in May with my four girlfriends and our 4 x 15 year old daughters. Obviously they wont’ be drinking but would still enjoy the beach club vibe. Where you suggest we should go without it being too “family friendly”
Many thanks
Vic
