Beach club weddings

For a barefoot reception, Marbella’s beach clubs can be booked for private events. The town’s own list of celebration venues includes La Cabane, MC Beach, Nikki Beach, Chambao, Amú Beach Club at Gran Marbella, Lucía Summer Club and NAÔ Pool Club.

Ask early about exclusive use: in summer, many clubs only close to the public for a full buy-out.

In the hills

Fincas and country estates

A finca wedding means gardens, olive trees, long tables and a party that can go late, away from the beach. Marbella’s Wedding Department lists El Gamonal, Casa de la Era, Finca Amalur and Finca La Concepción among the town’s wedding estates.

Visit at the time of day you plan to marry: light, shade and the evening breeze make a big difference.

Private

Villa weddings

A private villa gives you the place to yourselves for the whole weekend: rehearsal dinner with a private chef, ceremony on the lawn and a pool party the day after.

Not every rental villa allows events, so work through our villa rental checklist first. Always get written permission for an event, check guest limits and noise rules, and plan parking and toilets for larger groups.

Insider tips

Tips for planning a Marbella wedding

  • Start 12 months ahead. The best weekends at the big venues go early.
  • Plan for the heat. In July and August, hold the ceremony late in the afternoon.
  • Book rooms for guests. A villa or a hotel block keeps everyone together.
  • Check the curfew. Ask each venue about music limits and finishing times.
  • Arrange transport. Coaches or drivers between the hotel, the ceremony and the party save a lot of stress.
