When are the Marbella beach Club opening and closing parties for 2023 season?

The best beach clubs Marbella opening times are at the end of April and the beginning of May is when all of the beach clubs open in Marbella. Marbella clubs close for the winter around the end of September or early October. As soon as the sun reappears for the summer months beach bars and clubs open their doors, some with added spectacular parties. This makes the start of the summer an ideal time to go for a girly weekend in the party place of Spain. Puerto Banus can be a real party place! A lot of people head to Vegas for the weekend or city breaks like Barcelona, but all you need to do is check out the opening times in Banus and you will not be disappointed.

The Costa Del Sol is as a microclimate and is known for the sun all year round. It is not uncommon to be sunbathing in February during the hottest hours of the day. Having said that the sun can not always be guaranteed hence why beach clubs open their doors at the end of April and close at the end of September when the guarantee of sun is no longer upon us.

Which Marbella clubs have opening and closing and parties?

The two main clubs known for their opening and closing season party’s are Ocean Club Puerto Banus and Marbella Nikki Beach. Ocean Club are known for their spectacular White and silver opening party in April and their Black and gold closing party in September. Nikki Beach party is like no other, with a white opening party around a month after opening and a sizzling red party on closing.

You will see the infamous Nikki beach dancers, champagne fireworks and more cocktails than you could imagine. Their most spectacular days to visit is on a sunday where a party is guaranteed.

 La sala by the Sea Marbella beach club

The La Sala by the Sea is a relaxed beach club which hosts great parties and is located a short walk from Puerto Banus. It is a Great beach club with an electric vibe,  club classics by the pool with cocktails galore. The restaurant is an Asian fusion menu with delicious Thai food dishes, I would really recommend the Thai tapas; it’s our favourite. La Sala is a slightly more reasonably priced beach club but no less luxurious and offers great food and cocktails to match. This makes La Sala the perfect place for hen do’s, girly weekends, golf holidays or party getaways. Look out for different events with celebrity DJ’s and VIP’s.

Which pool beds are best at La Sala By the sea?

You have a choice of beds at La Sala, from single beds to large cabana beds. The single beds around by the pool are good value for money (€50), perfect for sunbathing and come with a towel, fruit and bottle of water on arrival. If you sit here be aware as the pool gets busier you will be in the heart of the action. 

The larger beds around the pool are great for sharing as are the cabana beds. Check the prices on the website as they normally offer a bottle of fizz thrown in however, these may not be comfy for a large group if you want to lie down.

The jacuzzi area is quieter and situated at the back of the bar and restaurant area. This area is normally presented as a private area but it is close to the toilets and you may miss a lot of the action and the DJ ( if you look at the drone video on their website you will see this ) They also offer quieter beach beds on the beach front but these are not inside the club although you will have access to it.

Do not forget to book a bed for lunch if you wish to eat at a table as this can be booked with out a bed reservation so it and can get very busy.

Laguna Village is a unique beachside setting with shops, restaurants and beach bars.

A table for lunch as this restaurant can get busy with locals and people visiting, so if you would like to escape your bed for lunch, it is advisable to book a table.
