Nikki Beach

Nikki Beach Marbella is no exception, with its oversized bamboo beach beds, massages on request, parties and VIP private jet services – it’s advisable to leave modesty at the entrance and let exuberance take over. Famed for its White Opening Party in June and Red Closing Party in October Nikki Beach is not all about sunbathing and clubbing, it offers a restaurant too. Remember the clubs motto, tell only your best friends.

Sala Beach

With its pool Sala Beach offers something different from Nikki Beach for a visitor to Puerto Banus. Stating it’s where east meets west its restaurant menu and décor reflects that fact, offering sushi to Mediterranean seafood platters and burgers. A mini spa is on site with Garra Rufa fish for a sole pedicure, along with the usual offerings of facials and massages. They have a summer season of music nights from RnB, hip hop and house with resident DJs spinning throughout the day too.

Ocean Club

This is one of the biggest beach clubs in Europe – a massive 9000m2 and a pool to match in terms of enormity. Hues of blue cushions against soft, round, white sunbeds sat on rich, dark wooden decking make Ocean Club look every bit a luxurious hangout. The restaurant is a fine dining experience and the food derives its influences from classical French, Asian and Mediterranean cuisine. The chef is the acclaimed Michelin star chef from Belgian – Stephane Bruylant. The other feather in Oceans Clubs caps is they have an in-house sommelier with more than 40 years’ experience, he ensures their wine and champagne collection is the best in Andalucía by sourcing wine from all around the world.

Sonora Beach

For something altogether different in vibe, Sonora Beach is an alternative, hippy hang out. It’s a little further west in Estepona but if the other Beach Clubs in Marbella don’t suit than Sonara might be exactly the missing link. Beach hut boho style with splashes of vibrant coloured lanterns, sunbeds and cushions is the call of the day. Chilled world music plays in the background but it also has live music occasionally.
