Insider guide · 2026 season

Marbella beach club opening dates & dress codes

Marbella's beach clubs run on their own seasonal calendar — some open in April, others not until the first heatwave in May. Here are the opening dates and dress codes for the 2026 season, plus the booking tips locals use to actually get a bed.

Nikki Beach Marbella

Season
Late April – mid October
Dress code
Resort chic. White is encouraged on White Parties. No football shirts, no swimwear away from the beds.

Insider tip — Sunday brunches book out weeks ahead — reserve a bed, not just a table.

Ocean Club Marbella

Season
Mid May – end September
Dress code
Glam swimwear by day, smart-casual after sunset. No flip-flops at dinner service.

Insider tip — Champagne Spray parties (June–August) have a strict guestlist — get on the WhatsApp list early.

Trocadero Playa

Season
Open year-round
Dress code
Relaxed beach elegance. Cover-ups required in the restaurant.

Insider tip — One of the few Marbella beach clubs serving lunch in winter.

Sala Beach (Puerto Banús)

Season
May – September

Polished casual. Linen, summer dresses, designer swimwear.

Insider tip — Closest beach club to the marina — pair with an evening at Pangea or Olivia Valère.

La Plage Casanis

Season
June – mid September
Dress code
Boho-luxe. Kaftans, sandals, oversized hats.

Insider tip — Smaller, quieter alternative when Nikki and Ocean Club are fully booked.
