Our top three must-dos in Marbella.
People come to Marbella for a host of different reasons, but here is a selection of our must-do suggestions when you’re here.
Beach life
Think Marbella and you see beaches washed by the Mediterranean Sea in your mind’s eye. Generations of visitors have been drawn by exactly this vision but today’s visitor to Marbella has taken expectations to a new level, demanding not just sun, sea and sand but a whole range of accompanying experiences. This being Marbella, the experience often incorporates luxurious beach clubs where the beautiful set gets together to enjoy cocktails and light snacks to the sound of chill-out music as they lounge on large sunbeds. But in Marbella it also includes hippie chic beach bars and seafood restaurants where reggae creates a completely different, laid-back vibe. The choice is yours…Tickle the taste buds.
The aforementioned venues belong to a fine offer of lunch spots that can also include organic eateries, traditional Spanish tapas bars and ultra-sleek modern must-be-seen restaurants. As evening sets in there are plenty of places to satisfy your appetite, and when it comes to the main course we highly recommend the authentic appeal of Marbella’s Old Town or the upmarket culinary delights of the Puente Romano’s gastro Plaza Village. Marbella is rich in diverse cuisines, so you can dine out with Spanish, Italian, classical French and Japanese gastronomic traditions or opt for Thai, Chinese, Indian, Scandinavian, American, Argentinean and fusion experiences. If you can’t make up your mind you can always head for the lively Ambrosia food market in Puerto Banús, which offers many cuisines and options under one roof. Nightlife
Many follow this up with a sampling of Marbella’s famous nightlife. This usually starts with cocktails at one of the many beachside venues in town or along the marina of Puerto Banús. The options range from the sophistication of Freudenhaus or the Marbella Club Hotel to more laid-back venues where guests get ready to make the jump to the clubbing scene. The majority of the area’s nightclubs are situated in and around Puerto Banús, the official nightlife hotspot of Marbella. It is here that you will find glamour spots such as Pangea, though Suite, Joe’s Bar, Olivia Valere and Buddha Bar on the Golden Mile are also top-end destinations that encapsulate the fun-filled, carefree atmosphere that has made Marbella renowned across Europe.
