Marbella Beach Clubs: Prices, Pools and the Ones That Won't Quote

Marbella has sixteen beach and pool clubs worth naming, running from a €30 lounger at Río Real to four figures for an Ocean Club VIP square, spread along the coast from Puerto Banús east to Los Monteros and Elviria. The table below has all of them, where they are, and what they will tell you.

The catch is that last column. Checked in September 2026, the clubs split into two camps.

Trocadero, NOSSO, Bono Beach, Amàre, Nikki Beach, La Sala by the Sea and Playa Padre now put a 2026 figure in public. Ocean Club sells off a 2026 package sheet without a plain sunbed price, and La Cabane, Dune Beach Club, Barbillón and Mistral Beach quote only per date. Which camp a club falls in is the single most useful thing to know before you plan a day here.

Every Marbella beach club, compared

Rates are the clubs' own published or platform figures, checked in September 2026, and Marbella clubs revise them between seasons and sometimes within one – confirm on the club's own booking page before you plan a budget.

Which club for what

• Cheapest bed: a Nikki Beach lounger sits around €30, a NOSSO single sunbed from around €35, and La Sala by the Sea starts at €20. That is the real floor in Marbella, and it is lower than the reputation suggests.
• Clearest pricing: NOSSO Summer Club, the club that separates bed types by published price rather than by request.
• With children: NOSSO allows under-12s on single sunbeds, and Nikki Beach runs long lunches rather than an afternoon party. Nao is 21 and over, The Beach House 18 and over, Amàre 16 and over.
• A pool rather than sand: Ocean Club, Nao Pool Club and Mogli The Key. None of the three is on the beach.
• Open outside summer: Trocadero Arena opens every day of the year and Amàre runs year-round. Most of the rest close from roughly October to April.
• A food-led day rather than a sunbed day: La Plage Casanis and Trocadero Arena, both restaurants with beds attached rather than the other way round.

That €30 floor is the part that surprises people, and it is why Marbella costs less than its reputation as long as you steer around two or three decisions.

Who publishes a price, and what it is

Several venues now put real numbers in public. These are their own published or platform figures, checked in September 2026 – read them as the shape of the market rather than a quote for your date, and confirm on the club's own page.

NOSSO's grid is the most complete in Marbella and the only one that separates bed types by price rather than by request. Its VIP Balinese is around €250, and a separate "Oia" champagne-and-massage pack at €280 explicitly does not include the bed – read that carefully, because the packs look like bed prices at a glance.

Bono Beach publishes a front-row differential: a few euro more for the front line over a standard bed. Everywhere else, the row you get is a matter of when you arrive and what the host decides.

The minimum spend, and the one club that spells it out

This is the number that actually decides a Marbella day, and it behaves differently at every club that admits to having one.

La Plage Casanis is the clearest, and the least generous. Its weekday Lunch and Sunbed programme, published in July 2026, asks a minimum spend of €150 per person in the restaurant, and includes a beach sunbed for the day in return.

The important detail is in the small print: that €150 applies to restaurant food and drink only, and anything you order at the beach is charged separately on top. It is a threshold, not a credit against your day.

Amàre Beach runs the opposite model. The €69.50 day pass returns half its value as food and drink credit at the bar, so roughly €35 of it comes back to you as lunch. There is no further minimum on top.

Nao Pool Club folds the two together: day beds from €60 per person including a minimum spend, which means the money is consumable rather than an entry fee. It is a pool club in the Golf Valley rather than a beach club, and it is 21 and over except on a handful of Family Sundays in low season.

The clubs that quote only per date

La Cabane at Los Monteros, Dune Beach Club at Elviria, Barbillón on the Golden Mile, Mistral Beach near Puerto Banús and The Beach House at Elviria all operate and are well regarded, and none of them puts a 2026 number in public. La Cabane's older prices split between a 2024 sheet and 2025 press coverage that disagree with each other by an order of magnitude, which is exactly why we are not reusing them.

Ocean Club is a halfway case: it sells beds as prepaid packages off an "OC Bed Packages 2026" sheet on its own booking site, with a further €500 to €1,000 weekend minimum spend on the VIP positions, but it does not publish a plain sunbed price you can read before you enquire.

At all of these you enquire, you are quoted for your date, and the quote moves with the day of the week and the season. Quoting a stale figure as a 2026 price would be inventing one.

The clubs in detail

Ocean Club, Puerto Banús

Ocean Club is the name that made Marbella beach clubs famous, and it is not on a beach. It sits on the seafront promenade at Puerto Banús around one of Europe's largest saltwater pools, with a DJ from 15:00 and a peak Saturday that is a wasted journey without a reservation.

It sells beds as prepaid packages rather than a simple sunbed rate, and it publishes an "OC Bed Packages 2026" sheet on its own booking site: an entry bed for a group rising through VIP tiers, with a further €500 to €1,000 weekend minimum spend on the VIP positions, paid at reception on arrival. Pull the current sheet before you set a budget.

It also takes full prepayment, and its terms state that a prepaid bed must be claimed before 16:00 or it may be resold.

Nikki Beach, Elviria

Nikki Beach is on the sand at Elviria, well east of the marina, and it runs calmer than the global brand suggests – long lunches rather than an afternoon party, which makes it the easiest of the famous clubs to bring a family to.

The season runs April to October and it closes at 19:00. A single beach lounger is around €30 with no minimum spend, first come first served with no reservation taken; the raised terrace loungers run higher and are over-18s only.

La Sala by the Sea, Puerto Banús

La Sala by the Sea sits on the Nueva Andalucía beach a short walk from Puerto Banús, which makes it the beachfront option for anyone based at the marina end of town rather than out east.

Its 2026 bed menu runs from around €20 for a lounger to €65 for a pool sunbed, with cabanas well into the hundreds. Confirm on its booking page, because it revises these between seasons.

Trocadero Arena, Río Real

Trocadero Arena is the outlier on two counts: daybeds from €30, the lowest published rate in Marbella, and it opens every day of the year when most of the coast shuts for the winter.

It is a restaurant with beds attached rather than a club with a kitchen. That is why it works in February, and why it suits a long lunch better than an afternoon of DJs.

NOSSO Summer Club, Elviria

NOSSO publishes the most complete price grid in Marbella, and it is the club to book if you want to know the cost before you arrive: single sunbed from €35, Queen double €110, King VIP €130, VIP Balinese €250, the last including a bottle of Moët or a rosé for two.

Read the packages separately from the beds. The "Mykonos" and "Oia" champagne and massage packs at €180 and €280 explicitly do not include a bed, and at a glance they look like bed prices.

Children under 12 are allowed on single sunbeds but not on the Queen, King or VIP beds.

Amàre Beach, Marbella seafront

Amàre is the hotel club on the Marbella seafront, and the only one here whose day pass works as a credit rather than a fee: €69.50 per person, half of it returned as food and drink at the bar, with no further minimum on top.

It has both beach and pool beds on that pass, runs year-round, and is 16 and over. If you are staying at the hotel, the day-pass question disappears entirely.

La Plage Casanis, Elviria

La Plage Casanis is on Playa Real de Zaragoza in Elviria, the same beach as NOSSO, and it is a restaurant first. Its weekday Lunch and Sunbed programme asks a minimum spend of €150 per person in the restaurant and includes a beach sunbed for the day.

The detail that catches people out: the €150 covers restaurant food and drink only. Anything you order at the beach is charged separately on top, so it is a threshold rather than a credit against your day.

Bono Beach, Costabella

Bono Beach at Costabella is the quiet one, and the only Marbella club publishing what the front row costs: €31.20 for a single bed and €36.40 on the front line, a €5.20 premium, with a Balinese at €208.

Everywhere else on this coast, the row you get depends on when you arrive and what the host decides.

Nao Pool Club, Golf Valley

Nao is inland in the Golf Valley with no beach at all, and it prices the honest way: day beds from €60 per person with the minimum spend included, so the money is consumable rather than an entry fee.

It is 21 and over except on a handful of Family Sundays in low season, and runs April to October, 12:00 to 20:00.

Pool club or beach club

The distinction matters more than the marketing suggests, because several of the best-known names have no beach at all.

On the sand: Trocadero Arena, Bono Beach, La Plage Casanis and NOSSO on Playa Real de Zaragoza, Nikki Beach, La Sala by the Sea on the Nueva Andalucía beach, Playa Padre, and Amàre, which has both beach and pool beds on the day pass.

Pool only: Ocean Club, whose large saltwater pool sits on the seafront promenade rather than the beach, Nao Pool Club in the Golf Valley, and Mogli The Key in Nueva Andalucía, which its own site puts at 12:00 to 20:00, over-21s only.

If you have pictured yourself walking from a bed into the sea, check which list your club is on before you pay.

Can you take children to a Marbella beach club?

Age limits are real here and vary widely. Nao is 21 and over. Amàre is 16 and over. The Beach House at Elviria is 18 and over. NOSSO bars under-12s from its Queen, King and VIP beds while allowing them on single sunbeds. Chiringuito-style venues along the same coast have no age rules at all.

In practice three clubs work well with children and the rest merely tolerate them: NOSSO takes under-12s on single sunbeds, Nikki Beach runs long lunches rather than an afternoon party, and Trocadero Arena is a restaurant with beds attached. The Puerto Banús clubs are loud from mid-afternoon, which is the part that decides it for most families.

Which Marbella beach clubs open outside summer?

Most of them do not. Nikki Beach runs April to October and closes at 19:00. Nao runs April to October, 12:00 to 20:00. Trocadero Arena is the outlier, open every day of the year. Amàre operates year-round with the day-pass model concentrated in high summer.

From late June through August, Friday to Sunday is effectively reservation-only at every club named on this page. Walk-ins get what is left, which in practice means back rows or nothing. Midweek is a different town.

If August has taken every bed worth having, the water is the way round it. A chartered boat out of Puerto Banús splits four or six ways more sensibly than a front-row minimum spend, and nobody at the marina asks what you are wearing.

Where the sand is, and which beaches kept their flag

Marbella completed a regularisation of its sunbed concessions for 2026, tendering around 130 hamaca lots along the whole coastline on contracts of up to eight years. Fourteen lots attracted no bidder at all, which is a useful signal about which stretches the operators think are worth working.

Eight Marbella beaches hold Blue Flag status for 2026: Cabopino, El Cable, El Faro, La Fontanilla, Nagüeles-Casablanca, Los Monteros, San Pedro de Alcántara at Guadalmina, and Venus-Bajadilla. Puerto Banús-Levante lost its flag for 2026, which is worth knowing if the marina was your plan for a swimming day rather than a drinking one.

Several of the clubs here are attached to hotels, and at Amàre in particular the day pass exists mainly because non-residents want in – staying on site removes the question entirely.

The Marbella neighbourhood guide covers which end of town puts you nearest which beach, and the wider Marbella guide has the rest.

For a comparison at the other end of the scale, Málaga city charges €10 for a hamaca and has no minimum spend anywhere on municipal sand, while Estepona runs the full range from €4 chiringuitos to hotel clubs, on the same coast, forty minutes west.
