Marbella, the true pearl of the Costa del Sol, continues its transformation into the European capital of beach clubs this year. New investments, spectacular renovations and growing interest in tourism are giving beach life in this region a new lease of life. It is a paradise for those who appreciate luxury, beautiful beaches and unforgettable pool parties.
The European capital of beach clubs
This year, Marbella brings a new face to luxury beach holidays. The city has something for everyone – from those seeking relaxation to lovers of intense culinary and musical experiences – from revamped classics to innovative concepts.Marbella is strengthening its position as one of the most important destinations on the European luxury map.
2025 is all about combining luxury with authenticity. At La Milla, bartender Nicole Lopez serves innovative cocktails, combining local ingredients with modern mixology techniques. Meanwhile, Nido Estepona, a new project from Grupo Mosh, offers not only delicious Mediterranean cuisine, but also massages, flamenco shows and performances by international DJs, creating a comprehensive experience of relaxation and entertainment.
Although Marbella is developing dynamically, it has not forgotten its roots. Traditional chiringuitos are giving way to modern beach clubs, but some, such as Trocadero Playa, still offer authentic culinary experiences and the atmosphere of yesteryear. Which other places are worth visiting?
