Checked across their own websites and social channels in July 2026, Nikki Beach, Ocean Club and La Cabane published no 2026 sunbed price and no minimum spend figure at all. Neither did La Sala by the Sea, Playa Padre, Dune Beach Club, Barbillón or Mistral Beach.
That is the single most useful thing to know before you plan a day here, and no other guide leads with it. Below is what the clubs that do publish actually charge, which minimum spends you get back in food and drink, and which one you do not.
Who publishes a price, and what it is
Four venues put real numbers in public. These are their own published figures, checked in July 2026. Marbella clubs revise them between seasons and sometimes within one, so read them as the shape of the market rather than a quote for your date.
| Club | Where | Published rate |
|---|---|---|
| Trocadero Arena | Río Real beach | daybeds from €30 |
| NOSSO Summer Club | Playa Real de Zaragoza | single sunbed €30 · Queen double €100 · King VIP €130 · VIP Balinese €400 |
| Bono Beach | Costabella | single bed €31.20 · front-line single €36.40 · Balinese €208 |
| Amàre Beach | Marbella seafront | day pass €69.50 per person |
NOSSO's grid is the most complete in Marbella and the only one that separates bed types by price rather than by request. The €400 Balinese includes a bottle of Dom Pérignon for two. Its separate "Mykonos" and "Oia" champagne and massage packs, at €180 and €280, explicitly do not include the bed – read that carefully, because the packs look like bed prices at a glance.
Bono Beach is the only club we found publishing a front-row differential: €36.40 against €31.20, a €5.20 premium for the front line. 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 will not quote
Nikki Beach at Elviria, Ocean Club at Puerto Banús and La Cabane at Los Monteros are the three names every list leads with, and none of them published a 2026 tariff when we looked.
Older documents exist and we are deliberately not reusing them. Ocean Club's most recent public grid is explicitly labelled for the 2025 season, and it added a further €500 to €1,000 minimum spend on top of the bed price for its VIP positions on peak days – which tells you the shape of the model even though the 2026 figures are unknown.
La Sala by the Sea's site now links only to a 2025 list. La Cabane's public prices split between a 2024 sheet and 2025 press coverage that disagree with each other by an order of magnitude.
Quoting any of those as a 2026 price would be inventing one. The honest position is that at these clubs you enquire, you are quoted for your date, and the quote moves with the day of the week and the season.
Playa Padre in east Marbella, Dune Beach Club at Elviria, Barbillón on the Golden Mile and Mistral Beach near Puerto Banús are in the same position: operating, well regarded, no published 2026 numbers.
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, Nikki 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 opens 11:00 to 01:00 with free entrance and sunbeds on request.
If you have pictured yourself walking from a bed into the sea, check which list your club is on before you pay.
Ages, seasons and getting a bed at all
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.
On season: Nikki Beach runs late April to early October, 10:00 to 20:00. 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.
The 16:00 rule at Ocean Club
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.
