Marbella is as famous for its glamorous nightlife as it is for its miles of golden sand and crystal-clear water. There’s something here for everyone – from trendy beach clubs to quiet coves full of local charm.
1. Playa de Nagüeles – Elegance on the Golden Mile
Located along the exclusive Golden Mile, Playa de Nagüeles offers fine sand, calm waters, and proximity to Marbella’s most luxurious clubs like Ocean Club and La Cabane. Perfect if you want to combine beach relaxation with a chic lunch or sunny cocktail.
2. Playa de Venus – Right in the Heart of Marbella
Playa de Venus sits centrally, close to the old town and marina. The waters are calm, the beach is wide, and the vibe is family-friendly. A favorite among locals and tourists alike – ideal for a swim between shopping trips and café stops.
3. Playa de Cabopino – Natural Beauty
Further east lies Cabopino, a beach known for its natural sand dunes and backdrop of pine trees. Small chiringuitos (beach bars) serve fresh seafood here. It’s less crowded and more authentic.
4. Playa de Río Verde – Close to Puerto Banús
Want to mix sunbathing with luxury shopping? Playa de Río Verde is just steps from the glamour of Puerto Banús. Swim, sip cava, and watch superyachts glide by – all in a single afternoon.
5. Playa Real de Zaragoza – A Local Favorite
One of the longest beaches in Marbella, Real de Zaragoza is known for its relaxed vibe, shallow waters, and the popular beachfront restaurant Nosso. A hidden gem for those wanting to escape the crowds without going far.

- Bring sunscreen – the sun is strong even early and late in the day.
- Most beaches offer sunbeds, but free areas are also available.
- Try activities like paddle boarding, kayaking, or jet skiing if you're feeling adventurous.
