Address: Playa de Venus, Marbella, Spain
Playa de Venus is Marbella’s urban beach icon—central, vibrant, and just steps from the Old Town and the buzzing marina. Framed by the old Represa Riverbed and flanked by palm-lined promenades, it’s where locals and travelers mix under the sun, especially in high season. If you’re staying in town, this is your go-to spot for quick dips between café stops or lazy beach days with all the perks.
The beach is Blue Flag certified, so you’re swimming in clean, well-maintained waters with top-notch services: sunbeds, showers, restaurants, and even beachside cocktails on demand. It’s kid-friendly, wheelchair-accessible, and just a short stroll from sailing clinics and marina-side bars if you want to level up your day.
Whether you’re tanning after tapas or diving into the Med after shopping in the Casco Antiguo, Venus Beach is the pulse of coastal Marbella—and it totally lives up to the name.
