Finca Cortesin Beach Club is the beachfront arm of the five-star Finca Cortesin resort, on a quiet stretch of coast near Bahía de Casares. It sits off the N-340, well south of the Marbella crowds, and it feels like it.
Our Bahía de Casares beach club guide covers it alongside the best places to stay nearby.
The pool is the centrepiece. Premium sunbeds and hammocks line the deck, and a DJ keeps things moving through the afternoon. The vibe is romantic and trendy but still casual. Groups and couples mix easily.
This is a fine dining beach club. Lunch and dinner come with full table service, and the cocktails and coffee both get singled out by guests. Expect to spend €100+ per person. Price is the thing reviewers talk about most, and some feel it's steep for what you get.
Book ahead. Reservations are accepted, and it's the kind of place that fills up. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 7pm. Closed Mondays.
Rated 4.6 from 94 reviews, with the vast majority being five stars. Service can slow down when larger groups arrive at once, but very few guests leave unhappy.
