Marbella Nightlife

Generally you could say that there are three zones in Marbella for going out, with tapas Bars, Restaurants, Clubs and Discotheques; very famous is of course Puerto Banús or the well known "Golden Mile", a very exclusive pavement. Alongside the Paseo Marítimo (Beach Promenade) we find fashionable Pubs with a young ambience or Restaurants for those who like to enjoy watching the sea meanwhile having a drink or going out for dinner.

The old part of Marbella (Old Town) has maintained its andalusian charm and in many narrow streets with flower decorated white houses you can find all kind of Bars, Restaurants and Discotheques.

The area of the old town is mainly pedestrian and you should leave your car in the parking areas of Plaza Victoria or Avenida del Mar. From here you have a pleasant walk of 5 to 10 Minutes to the Plaza de los Naranjos. 

The Marbella nightlife starts very late. It is quite normal, to start going out around midnight, especially during the weekends. The majority of the clubs and Bars don´t open before 23:00 and don´t get busy until later hours. The nightlife is very active and lasts until the early morning hours and often gets combined with a good breakfast. There is no really dress code, but maybe you shouldn´t appear with beach outfit and flip-flops. Women or groups of women often get a free entrance, meanwhile males normally have to pay.

Marbella nightclubs and pubs

Who is looking for Marbella nightclubs, will find this being an easy task in Marbella. A well known and elegant Club is for instance the Olivia Valverde. As well La Notte offers a more distinguished ambience.

In the old city the Tavernas invite to savor the selection of wines and tapas, as for example the Bodega Venensia. Who would like to enjoy some Flamenco, can do so at the Tablao Flamenco de Ana Maria.

The old city has several access points; one is situated opposite the popular Park Parque de la Alameda and next to a Taxi Stop.

Marbella has very good Road connections via the A-/ (Autovía del Mediterráneo) and the National road N-340 that runs right through the centre of Marbella, but please leave the car at the parking when drinking alchol at night.
