Twenty-seven kilometres of Mediterranean.
Dune reserves, Blue Flag water and beach clubs that run from breakfast to the last drink. The sea is the Costa del Sol’s daily luxury.
Every day ends, sooner or later, facing the sea.
Marbella’s shoreline changes character kilometre by kilometre: the pine-backed dunes of Artola and Cabopino to the east, the groomed sands of the Golden Mile, the family beaches of San Pedro and Guadalmina to the west.
Los Monteros and Cabopino top the water-quality analyses year after year, Blue Flags included — while La Fontanilla holds a remarkable standard for a city-centre beach.
The beach clubs set the coast’s social calendar: Trocadero’s teak and white linen, La Cabane’s quiet elegance, Puente Romano’s front row.
Most stay open far beyond the summer — restaurants and terraces run all year, beds and full service from May to October.

La Cabane
Los Monteros’ quietly glamorous club, reborn and better than ever.
What we check before recommending a home
True distance
«Five minutes from the beach» means little. We measure the walk in flip-flops, not in metres on a plan.
Orientation & breeze
South-east catches the morning sun; the levante wind has its moods. We know which terraces stay pleasant in August.
Season & privacy
Some shores triple their population in July. We tell you which corners keep their calm — and their parking.
