Where mixology meets style: Marbella’s top cocktail spots

Marbella is a city that comes alive in the evening, with a nightlife scene that matches its reputation for style and glamour. Thanks to an average of 325 days of sunshine each year, nights can be enjoyed alfresco throughout every season. Whether on a rooftop or in an open-air square, restaurants and bars across Marbella ensure the outdoor experience continues into the cooler months, with heaters and blankets on hand that keep the atmosphere cosy.

Starting off at Marbella’s chicest address: Puente Romano. Cocktail spots here take you into the epicentre of Marbella’s trendiest social hub. And along the coast from east to west, there are plenty more venues well-worth a mention. Peruse our bespoke selection, and raise a toast in Marbella’s finest locations. 

La Plaza
Puente Romano’s open-air square is the resort’s social heartbeat. Come for pre-dinner negronis and stay for the DJs, people-watching and late service. The atmosphere is lively but laid-back, with chic lighting and Fendi-designed furnishings that set the scene for lingering long after the restaurants close.

Rudi’s & El Patio at Marbella Club Hotel
Marbella Club’s cocktail culture is defined by elegance and history. At Rudi’s, the atmosphere is timeless, with champagne cocktails served among rich wood panelling and photographs recalling the hotel’s golden age. The bar is a favourite for backgammon, piano music and evenings that stretch unhurried into the night.

Next door, El Patio offers a more vibrant courtyard feel. This open-air setting, framed by greenery and chic design, brings a lighter mood with seasonal cocktails, tapas and a lively social scene. By day it is a relaxed garden restaurant, and by evening it transforms into a stylish spot for aperitifs or after-dinner drinks under the stars.

Together, the two venues balance heritage and modern flair, making Marbella Club Hotel a key address for cocktail lovers.
