Barbillón Marbella is the Costa del Sol branch of Madrid's Barbillón restaurant brand, open since July 2023 in Guadalmina Baja. It's about 10 minutes west of Marbella's Golden Mile, with three distinct areas: beach, pool and a 350-seat fine dining restaurant.
See how it stacks up against the rest in our Marbella beach clubs guide.
The setup is built for a full day. Premium sunbeds on the beach, a quieter pool zone away from the sand, and a large outdoor terrace for sit-down meals. Food and drink service runs across all three areas.
Prices sit at €€€. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and through summer. Valet parking is on-site, which is a genuine plus on this stretch of coast.
Rated 4.2 from 897 reviews. It suits couples and groups who want to go from sunbeds to a proper dinner without switching venues.

Food & Drinks at Barbillón Marbella
The kitchen does Mediterranean fine dining. Rice dishes and fresh seafood lead the menu, with charcoal-grilled meats as another strong point. This is a sit-down restaurant first, so the food gets more attention than most beach clubs.
Cocktails are served across the beach, pool and restaurant. The drinks list runs deeper than the usual beach club fare, which fits the fine dining positioning.
