1. NIKKI BEACH

Frequented by stars and celebrities, Nikki Beach offers a perfect blend of opulent champagne tastings and exquisite lunches, in tandem with renowned parties and themed events. The atmosphere is stylish, yet relaxed and effortless. Established in 2003 in Marbella East, Nikki Beach Marbella has become a staple of the Costa del Sol and one of its best beach clubs for partying. Today, it is well known internationally as ‘the place to be’ in Marbella, and its reputation certainly precedes it.

2. MARBELLA CLUB HOTEL BEACH CLUB

Enjoy a delightful experience at the iconic Beach Club in Marbella Club Hotel on the famous Golden Mile. This isn’t the place to come if you are into wild parties, but if you want a classy day out in the sun you’ll love it. Its sun-splashed joyful look takes inspiration from the ‘palapa’ roof and reminiscent of 1950’s Acapulco, once the playground for the world’s elite. Prepare to immerse yourself in a world where luxury knows no bounds. Indulge in a culinary journey that pays homage to Andalusian tradition with a modern twist. The sun cabanas on the legendary pier offer stunning mountain and sea views.

3. EL CHIRINGUITO PUENTE ROMANO

Few places attract as much good energy as the small paradise on the beach called El Chiringuito. With Ibizan style, this club belongs to the 5-star Puente Romano Resort. An exquisite menu is ready to nourish your heart all day long. Don't hesitate to accompany the unforgettable sunsets with creative cocktails while you relax on Balinese beds listening to the music. This is definitely the best 'Mediterranean Lifestyle Destination'!

4. CLUB LA CABANE

One of the most elegant places on the Costa del Sol, this emblematic beach club belongs to the 5-star Los Monteros Hotel. You can enjoy hammocks, cabins, sun-loungers and VIP beds. Beautiful and modern design, chilled deluxe atmosphere and magnificent panoramic views make it ideal for having a relaxing day in style.  In 2023, La Cabane reopened its doors with Dolce & Gabbana and the merger of a 3 Michelin star chef Dani García and Grupo Mosh taking this gastronomic and entertainment paradise to another level.

5. OCEAN CLUB

Offering a similarly luxurious, party-driven vibe to Nikki Beach, Ocean Club boasts a modern reimagining of a classic beach club setting. Set over a 9,000m2 space in the heart of Puerto Banus, it is one of the largest and most exclusive beach clubs in Marbella. A backdrop of the Mediterranean and luxury yachts, a huge saltwater pool, super-comfy extra-large sunbeds, quality restaurant, DJs and live music, dancers and beautiful people make it an experience to remember.  Ocean Club Marbella is one of Europe’s chic favourites for relaxing, partying and enjoying the best that summer has to offer. The Place where everyone goes ‘to see and be seen’!

Worth mentioning: FINCA CORTESIN BEACH CLUB

Being located west from Marbella, between glamourous Puerto Banus and elite Sotogrande, is certainly not a bad thing, as it adds to Finca Cortesin Beach Club’s exclusivity, privacy and charm. Expect nothing but the most lavish experience when you visit Finca Cortesin Beach Club – it’s not difficult to see why this gem has become a world-renowned luxury retreat. Forming part of the highly prestigious Finca Cortesin estate, the sophisticated Beach Club is a breath-taking setting to behold. One of the pure highlights is the incredible view of the Rock of Gibraltar and Rif Mountains from its 35-m infinity pool.
