Dress code at beach clubs in Marbella
Beach wear is obviously acceptable at all the clubs, but you’ll need to cover up when eating at the restaurants. If you’re going to one of the parties, check the dress code – it could be formal or themed, for example by region (Caribbean), vibe (tropical) or colour (usually white or red).
Best for tranquil chilling – El Ancla
Not all beach clubs in Marbella are about all-day partying. El Ancla is almost the opposite and a favourite with couples and families looking for life in the slow lane. Flanked by woods to the north and the sandy beach to the south, this beach club has two highlights. The first is the large pool, so close to the Mediterranean it could almost be part of it. And then there’s the restaurant whose terrace has sweeping ocean views.
