Banana's Beach Club sits right on the beachfront along the Paseo Marítimo in Torremolinos. It's one of the most consistently visited spots along the Málaga coast for an all-day beach session on a budget.
The setup is sunbeds, hammocks, and umbrellas on the sand with a bar and restaurant behind. The hammocks are a big part of the appeal for regulars. An 80s soundtrack plays throughout the day with a DJ on busier sessions. The crowd is casual: families, groups, tourists, and dogs are welcome inside and out.
Cocktails are what people keep coming back for. Mojitos are a particular favourite. The drinks list also covers beer, wine, and coffee. Food runs from breakfast through to dinner, with burgers, small plates, and a salad bar. There's a kids' menu and healthy options for families. Prices sit in the €10-20 range.
Open every day from 11am to 6pm. Reservations are accepted and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Street parking along the promenade is free but usually hard to find, especially in summer.
Rated 4.4 from 2,240 reviews. It's a reliable regular stop for repeat visitors to Torremolinos, with the large majority of guests leaving four or five stars.
