Marbella’s best beach clubs
Let me take you through some of Marbella’s top beach clubs.
Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club
The Gran Marbella Resort & Beach Club is poised to redefine luxury on the Costa del Sol this summer. That’s why it’s topping my list of Marbella’s best beach clubs.
This resort and beach club is set to open this summer. You’ll love this five-star retreat as it offers a pretty seamless blend of Andalusian charm coupled with contemporary sophistication.
At the heart of the resort lies the Amù Beach Club, which can only be described as a sanctuary of relaxation and indulgence. You’ll find two pools, one of which is indoors, plus you’ll also have direct access to Marbella’s finest beach. So you can choose to bask in the sun whilst enjoying exclusive entertainment.
If I were going there this summer, I’d be taking a trip to the premium spa by Champneys. What a treat that would be! The resort has 135 rooms and suites, many with private pools or Jacuzzis. Plus, many of these rooms give guests panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
It’s also a great place to dine, as there are four on-site restaurants and bars, each celebrating Andalusia’s rich gastronomic heritage with seasonal, locally sourced produce.
If you are looking for more than just beach club entertainment, you’ll be thrilled to know that Gran Marbella Resort offers lots of wonderful experiences into Andalusian traditions with things like olive oil tastings, flamenco performances, guided hikes and marine workshops. But if you are after a more leisurely affair, why not sit back and enjoy the refined elegance, breathtaking views and the immersive experience of tradition, which makes this resort worthy of its place among Marbella’s elite beach clubs in 2025.

If you are heading here for a special occasion, why not take advantage of the luxury sunbeds, private pools, and tailored bottle service? Reservation-only VIP areas guarantee privacy and elite comfort for distinguished guests.

If you are heading here, expect a serene yet stylish environment. You’ll find this beach club has a laid-back charm infused with more high-end elements.
Many people choose Ocean Club for its large saltwater pool. It’s quite the pool and ideal for those wanting a cabana in a tropical setting. You’ll find that the pool’s exquisite design blends modern minimalism with lush greenery. It’s easy to relax by the pool with one of their specially crafted cocktails.
If you are looking to dine at the Ocean Club, you’ll find that the menu features Mediterranean-inspired dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients.
Think seafood platters, vibrant salads, and cocktails – oh, the cocktails – which have been expertly crafted by their in-house mixologists.
Visitors to the Ocean Club love their seasonal signature events. You’ll find that these include stylish pool parties to sunset celebrations. Often, events feature international guest DJs and a crowd that mixes locals with jet-setters.
Located right along Marbella’s beachfront promenade, the club offers easy access coupled with stunning coastal views. You’ll find that it’s well-connected for holidaymakers staying pretty much anywhere in the city.
La Sala by the Sea
La Sala by the Sea offers an intimate beach club experience framed by those famous marina views, which really are wonderful. You’ll find that this club radiates an inviting energy that mixes casual elegance with the well-known vibrant Mediterranean culture.
I think that it’s perfect for relaxing, whilst people-watching, as it’s right next to the harbour at Puerto Banús. You can see people coming and going from their luxury yachts and enjoying everything that the bustling marina life has to offer.
Did you know that the club was renowned for its eclectic lineup of live bands and DJs? Pop in and you’ll find everything from Latin rhythms to modern house – something to suit everyone if you stay long enough.
You’ll find that the menu features Mediterranean fusion cuisine. Feast on seafood tapas, grilled meats, and fresh salads. Quench your thirst with well-crafted cocktails and an extensive wine list.
Purobeach Marbella
Purobeach Marbella is synonymous with serene luxury and wellness, and you can see this from the design and the colour palette within the venue. You’ll want to head here if you plan on slowing down, reconnecting with nature and enjoying peaceful, stunning coastal views. I would say this is the perfect retreat for those who seek peace alongside the prestigious Marbella beach culture.
Purobeach is renowned for wellness as much as anything else. Enjoy yoga sessions, spa treatments, massages and healthy dining options.
Touching on dining options, you’ll find that the menu features Mediterranean dishes crafted with organic and locally sourced ingredients, focusing on freshness and nutrition. Signature items include colourful poke bowls, fresh seafood, and detox juices.
To complement the wellness and relaxation vibe, Purobeach hosts chill-out music sessions and sunset DJ sets that complement the peaceful aesthetic. You’ll find that the club manages to balance social energy without disrupting serenity – it’s an ideal escape from the energy of Marbella’s bustling social spots.
Los Monteros Beach Club
Los Monteros Beach Club is a refined retreat nestled within the Los Monteros Hotel. This place is known for its privacy and understated elegance.
Visit here and you’ll find a more intimate experience away from the crowds. I would describe it as a secret slice of paradise for those craving a blend of calm and comfort by the Med.
As it has an exclusive stretch of Marbella’s coast, you are more likely to find a bit more peace and quiet here. Think stylish wicker sunbeds, shaded pergolas, and verdant gardens.
If you are heading here for a spot of lunch or dinner, the beach club’s restaurant offers Mediterranean food at its finest. Freshly caught fish, seasonal vegetables, all paired with fine wines. You’ll find that the menus have been created to reflect local culinary traditions, although they are somewhat elevated by the gourmet experience.
Despite its luxe profile, you’ll find that Los Monteros actually welcomes families with facilities aimed at children, like shallower pools and dedicated play areas. For this reason, this club appeals to a diverse clientele.
So, which of my top Marbella beach clubs do you like the sound of? Although if you are visiting Marvella for a few days, why not try a few and see which one you prefer the vibe of.
