Marbella's Best Beaches: From Beach Clubs to Secret Coves

Marbella's 27 km coastline has everything from glamorous beach clubs to quiet family-friendly stretches.

Beach Clubs

Nikki Beach (daybeds from €150, celebrity crowd in summer). La Sala by the Sea (more relaxed, great food). Ocean Club on the Golden Mile (pool parties, €50–€100 minimum spend).

Family Beaches

Playa de la Fontanilla in the town center — shallow water, lifeguards, restaurants nearby. Playa Real de Zaragoza — spacious, less crowded, good parking.

Hidden Coves

Playa de Cabopino — backed by sand dunes and a nature reserve. Playa del Alicate — long, uncrowded, and backed by low-key chiringuitos. Best reached by car.
