AT SEA:
Yes, because if you rent a paddle surf from Nalusur, a jet ski, or a boat from Marbella Sports Boat, you can enjoy a drink at sea while admiring the Marbella skyline.
Our favorite spots are:
Barco Bar
Mojito a Bordo
Both usually stop by Marbella Club.
If you're wondering as far as Puerto Banús, then the newly opened 1970 Yacht Club is a must-stop!
