La Plage Casanis

La Plage Casanis is a Mediterranean restaurant and beach club on Playa Real de Zaragoza, one of the longer stretches of sand along the Marbella coast. It's part chiringuito, part party spot, with live DJs and dancing most evenings.

Music is the main draw here. It comes up in 125 reviews, more than any other topic. DJs play regularly, and the place shifts from a daytime lunch spot to a proper sunset party venue. Guests mention sunbeds, hammocks and outdoor seating right on the beach.

Paella gets mentioned in 33 reviews, and cocktails in 38. The menu covers Mediterranean dishes with vegan, vegetarian and organic options. Brunch, lunch and dinner are all served. The drinks list includes cocktails, wine and a beer selection that guests rate highly.

Prices sit at €€. Reservations are recommended for all meal times. The venue has free parking (both lot and street), wheelchair access throughout, high chairs and a kids' menu. It works for families during the day and groups in the evening.

Rated 4.1 from 1,685 Google reviews. 59% of guests give it five stars, and another 18% give four. But 11% leave one star, so opinions are split. The party atmosphere and service get praise, though the polarized scores suggest it won't suit everyone.

It's open for brunch through dinner. If you're after a quieter beach lunch, go early. The DJ sets and dancing pick up later in the afternoon.
