What are the best beaches in Marbella?

If you love beaches then Marbella may just be the perfect pick for you with over 18 miles of sun-soaked sandy coastline. Family-friendly, lively, sheltered, romantic - you name it, Marbella has a beach for that.

If you’re looking for plenty of facilities and something for the whole family then head to Playa del Venus. This beach is located right by the town centre making it really easy to get to. There are plenty of facilities, restaurants close by for lunch and gently sloping sands to the water’s edge so it’s a perfect pick for a family day out. If you’re looking for somewhere a little quieter to take the kids then head to Playa de Real de Zaragoza. The waters are much calmer here and it’s slightly further out making it less crowded in summer.

For groups of friends, couples and anyone else looking for a lively beach day out then head straight down to Puerto Banus Beach. Lined with bars and restaurants, this golden stretch of sand is great for a lively beach day - expect sun, sand, sangria and good vibes here.

What are the top hotels in Marbella?

Whether you’re taking the whole family away on holiday or whisking your significant other away for some quality time, Marbella has a hotel to suit you.

For those travelling with the kids in tow, we recommend the Gran Melia Don Pepe. As part of the Melia chain, you know the hotel will be of a good standard and feature a range of great facilities. Not only does the Gran Melia Don Pepe feature a large swimming pool area, a choice of restaurants, sport facilities, seasonal entertainment including a kids club but it’s in a great location overlooking the seafront. If you’re more f an apartment-style family then take a look at Monarque Sultan. Offering all the freedom of an apartment with the comforts of a hotel, the Monarque Sultan offers an oasis-style swimming pool area - including a kids pool - just 150m from the beach.

A great Adult Only pick has to be the Amare Marbella Beach Hotel. With a beachfront location, stylish pool area and a menu created by a Mitchelin star chef, this hotel is perfect for a relaxing and romantic Marbella break. Another great choice is the Senator Marbella Spa Hotel. A rooftop swimming pool with outdoor Jacuzzi, on-site spa and rooftop bar make this hotel an ideal choice for a tranquil break.
