Spain’s coastline is home to some of the most elegant beach clubs in Europe. From Ibiza to the Costa Brava, Sitges to Marbella, these are places where the Mediterranean is more than just a view. Here, service is attentive but never intrusive, the seafood is local, and the music plays like someone carefully curated a soundtrack for the sea breeze.
Whether you prefer cliffside calm or champagne-soaked glamour, these are our pic of some of the top beach clubs in Spain right now.
IBIZA: Laid-back luxury with global rhythm
Experimental Beach | Las Salinas
A favourite of the island's creative set, this is where barefoot dining meets low-key decadence. Tucked away at the southern tip of Ibiza, Experimental is all sun-bleached wood, house beats, and natural wines. It never tries too hard, which is exactly why it works. Sunset here feels like a secret.
Amante | Cala Llonga
Built into the cliffs above a quiet cove, Amante is the kind of place where days dissolve. Yoga in the morning, rosé at noon, and a kitchen that reimagines Mediterranean classics with serious finesse. Arrive early to claim a lounger. Stay late for dinner with a view.
MARBELLA: Flash, with taste
Ocean Club Marbella | Puerto Banús
It’s iconic for a reason. Yes, there’s champagne service and yes, there are curated playlists that shift with the sun. But Ocean Club also delivers a level of polish that keeps the regulars returning year after year. Expect statement swimwear, white daybeds, and poolside people-watching par excellence.
Trocadero Arena | Golden Mile
Tribal-chic interiors, a beachfront location, and a menu that blends Andalusian flavours with international flair. Trocadero Arena leans grown-up: stylish, relaxed, and impeccably run. Come for lunch, stay until the sky turns pink.
COSTA BRAVA: Elegant and unbothered
Far Nomo | Llafranc
Japanese-Mediterranean fusion in a cliffside setting that feels like a well-kept secret. Part of the Nomo Group, Far Nomo is sleek but never showy. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the coastline, and the toro tartare is worth the drive alone.
Paal 13 Beach Club | Platja de Pals
One of the few true beach clubs in this more reserved part of the coast. Daybeds, cocktails, and the sort of summer crowd that knows not to tag the location. Think: fresh fish, natural textures, and a playlist just loud enough to know you’re somewhere.
SITGES & GAVÀ MAR: Barcelona's stylish backyard
Beso Beach Sitges | Terramar
The latest opening from the cult Beso Beach group (Formentera, Ibiza, Tulum). All the hallmarks are here: Basque-meets-Mediterranean cuisine, barefoot tables in the sand, and just the right amount of buzz. Perfectly poised between laid-back and high-energy.
La Caleta Beach Club | Gavà Mar
Polished without pretence. Located in one of Barcelona’s most desirable residential zones, La Caleta offers private beds, a refined menu, and a cosmopolitan crowd. It’s where city creatives and global nomads come to unplug, and be seen doing it.
The takeaway
There are beach bars, and then there are beach clubs—where time stretches, the drinks stay cold, and every detail has been quietly considered. Spain continues to set the standard for Mediterranean coastal living, offering seaside escapes that combine design, dining, and an unteachable sense of ease.
