When it comes to burgers, Marbella is still catching up with the likes of London and LA – but the gap is closing fast. Over the last few years, a handful of passionate chefs and burger obsessives have raised the game, bringing with them quality ingredients, bold ideas, and serious attention to detail. Whether it’s American diner-style indulgence, a halal-friendly smash burger, or a Scandinavian twist on a truffle classic—you’ll find something here that hits the spot. Here are ten of the best burger joints in Marbella right now.
1. Brödernas – Swedish Smash Burgers, Done Right 🇸🇪
Brödernas started in Sweden and now has over 80 locations—but its Marbella outposts still feel fresh, calm, and personal. The brothers behind the brand know what they’re doing: the smash burgers have crisped edges, soft buns, and just the right amount of sauce. The Truffle Burger is rich without being heavy, and the Mexican Burger packs a spicy punch. Pair with sweet potato fries—they’re among the best in town.
Two well-placed locations: a laid-back beachside terrace in Marbella town, and a sleek indoor-outdoor space next to the Casino in Puerto Banús.
Locations:
- Marbella: Av. Duque de Ahumada, 16, 29602 Marbella, Málaga
- Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús: C. las Malvas, 14-15, Nueva Andalucía, 29660 Marbella, Málaga

2. Gourmet Burger Room – A Local Favourite Since 2016 🇪🇸
Tucked a couple of streets back from the beach, this family-run spot has quietly become a staple for gourmet burgers in the old town area. Everything is homemade, from the juicy patties (beef, lamb, pork, even pulled pork) to the sauces and sides. Standouts include the Raclette Burger and the Milano, both full of flavor without going over the top. It’s relaxed, good value, and the kind of place you return to.
Also worth trying: their Caesar salad and homemade desserts.

3. BB Burger Bar – Halal Burgers with Global Flair 🇪🇸
This place does more than just burgers—it does them right. Think high-quality halal meats, market-fresh toppings, and house-made sauces that actually add to the experience. The turkey bacon burger is a standout, and there’s also a great shawarma wrap if you’re in the mood for something different.
With two small but lively locations in Puerto Banús, BB Burger Bar is a great pick for a quick bite without sacrificing quality.

4. Planet Beat – Mexican Heat Meets Burger Street 🇲🇽
Planet Beat is part burger bar, part Mexican cantina—and all attitude. Their Yellow Mama Burger brings serious kick, while the spicy wings and tamales are perfect for sharing. There’s a good drinks list, including 2-for-1 cocktails at happy hour, and a fun, music-filled vibe with vintage pop-culture decor.
Located in Aloha, it’s casual, dog-friendly, and ideal for groups looking to mix burgers, tacos, and tequila in one sitting.

5. Cafe Yanx – All-American, All-Day 🇺🇸
Cafe Yanx has been doing American diner classics in Nueva Andalucía for years—and doing them well. Burgers are thick and juicy, the buns are fresh, and everything from breakfast pancakes to their popular Sunday roast shows the kitchen knows its way around comfort food.
Big portions, a kid-friendly vibe, and plenty of parking make this a solid choice for families or anyone craving a bit of Americana in the Costa del Sol sunshine.

6. Bunners – Smash Burgers with Local Soul 🇪🇸
Hidden in La Campana, Bunners has earned a loyal following for its quality and consistency. The burgers are smashed to perfection and served with just the right level of creativity. The Green Chile Burger and the Goat Cheese Burger both deserve attention, and sides like mozzarella sticks and fried chicken round out the menu nicely.
Friendly, fast, and always fresh—this is a great neighborhood joint that’s worth seeking out.

7. Jack’s Smokehouse – Burgers by the Marina 🇺🇸
Right on the front line of Puerto Banús, Jack’s mixes an upscale location with laid-back BBQ vibes. Burgers share the menu with smoked ribs, fajitas, and dry-aged steaks—all cooked with a low-and-slow American sensibility. The burgers are simple but satisfying, best enjoyed with a cold beer and a view of the yachts drifting by.
Inside, the stylish bar and cocktail list give the place a polished edge without losing its welcoming feel.

8. Cheat – Dirty Burgers in Luxe Settings 🇺🇸
Cheat is unapologetically indulgent. Its grass-fed Scottish Angus beef is hormone-free, the buns are baked fresh daily, and the vibe is part New York diner, part Marbella swagger. Whether you’re grabbing a burger in Puerto Banús or enjoying one poolside at Puente Romano, the focus is on big flavors and quality ingredients.
The jalapeño poppers are excellent, and the loaded fries are made to be shared—or not.

9. Mr. Gourmet Burger – Irish-Style Comfort Food 🇮🇪
Mr. Gourmet Burger has been a local favorite in San Pedro since 2012. Irish-owned, this cheerful spot serves thoughtfully made burgers using fresh, homemade ingredients. The Irish Burger is a nod to the homeland, but their global specials keep things interesting. The vibe is warm and family-friendly, with fair prices and excellent lemon tart to end the meal on a high note.
Bonus: it’s right next to the boulevard playground—perfect if you’re out with kids.

10. New Burger – No-Frills, All-Flavour 🇪🇸
New Burger is the kind of place locals love—unpretentious, affordable, and consistently good. Tucked behind the more touristy front line of Marbella town, it serves burgers, salads, and sandwiches alongside crisp fries and cold beer. There’s nothing fancy here, but the food is honest and well made.
A great option if you’re near the old town and want something fast, filling, and reliably tasty.

11. Five Guys – The Global Smash Burger Powerhouse 🇺🇸
Sometimes, you just want something familiar—and Five Guys delivers exactly that. The American chain has kept its formula simple for decades: juicy double patties, toasted buns, and a choose-your-own-adventure toppings list. The fries are hand-cut, the peanuts are free, and the milkshakes (especially the peanut butter one) have a cult following.
In Marbella, you’ve got two options: a branch right on the front line of Puerto Banús with marina views, and another inside La Cañada shopping mall—ideal for a post-retail refuel. It’s not local, but it’s solid—and sometimes, that’s what hits the spot.
Locations:
- Puerto Banús: Av. de Julio Iglesias, s/n, 29660 Marbella, Málaga
- La Cañada: Centro Comercial La Cañada, Carretera Ojén, s/n, 29603 Marbella, Málaga
