It’s hard to beat a day basking in the sea views and beach-chic atmosphere of Nikki Beach, the beach club pioneer’s Marbella outpost. A sophisticated all-white beach club set on a beautiful white sand beach, this is the place to savour seafood platters washed down by champagne by day then dance on the sands as the sun sets and beyond.
Part of the luxury golf resort, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace, this beach club is the epitome of coastal elegance with endless ocean views and next-level service. Go for drinks and refreshing nibbles as you stretch out on a sunbed or savour elevated regional favourites like grilled clams, paella and salt-baked sea bream to the symphony of the lapping waves. The restaurant’s impressive wine list includes sherries from Andalucía and fine Spanish wines.
Sunny seafood lunches and sushi platters by the sand are the order of the day at this sophisticated beach club on Marbella’s glorious gold sand beach, Playa Real de Zaragoza. Reserve single or double sun beds (with full waiter service) to sunbath and swim in style. Treat yourself to a pamper in the massage corner then sit down to cocktails and modern international cuisine in the rustic-chic restaurant.
Slip into summer at this elegant beach club with an Italian touch. Set between Estepona and Marbella, you’ll love its low-key vibe and mouth-watering Mediterranean-fusion cuisine. Nap on your luxury sun lounger, order decadent cocktails in the Beach Lounge, and indulge your tastebuds while soaking up panoramic views on the Rooftop Terrace. It’s easy to lose yourself here for the day.
Striking Sea and mountain views, expertly crafted cocktails and a drool-worthy sushi menu make this sophisticated rooftop bar in Puerto Banus a delightful spot, especially at sunset. There’s also an oyster and champagne bar.

With a large open-air terrace, you can dance in the balmy air under the stars at TIBU in Puerto Banus, should the mood strike you. It’s not all about the beats though, you can start your night out with delicious food too – its restaurant Chey by TIBU serves Nikkei food, a fusion of Peruvian ingredients with Japanese cuisine.
Expect high-end fine dining and next-level service at Skina Marbella, a small but seriously special restaurant in Marbella’s old town. It’s no surprise that Skina has two Michelin stars.

One of Spain’s most celebrated Japanese restaurants with branches in Madrid, Malaga and Marbella, Ta-Kumi offers an authentic dining experience.

You can watch them at work in the open kitchen in Marbella’s intimate and elegant dining room.
Fresh, local, organic and feelgood, The Farm is a real crowd-pleaser in Marbella’s old town.

Prime cuts of steak and other meats are cooked with panache over flames at this traditional gaucho-style Argentinian steakhouse just near Benahavis.

Cosy and full of character inside with a lovely outside terrace, this family-run restaurant is a popular spot all year round.
Los Abanicos is a firm favourite among locals and a renowned part of the gastronomic history of Benahavis.
