La Sala By The Sea is a seafront bar and grill right next to Puerto Banús, one of Marbella's most-visited stretches of coast. It sits on Avenida José Banús in Nueva Andalucía, with an outdoor deck facing the water and direct beach access.
If it doesn't suit, the other beach clubs in Marbella are laid out side by side in our city guide.
Premium sunbeds are the main draw. The beach and sun lounger experience is what guests talk about most, and the place is set up for a long, lazy day in the sun. A live sax player performs regularly. The crowd leans toward hen parties and groups, though families are well catered for too.
Prices are at the low end for this area. Reservations are accepted, parking is usually easy nearby, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible with adapted entrance and restrooms.
Rated 4.1 from 702 reviews. Most guests rate it well, but management decisions and service charges come up as friction points in a fair number of reviews. The venue is currently listed as temporarily closed, so check ahead before visiting.

Food & Drinks at La Sala By The Sea
The kitchen covers bar and grill dishes alongside Thai food. Cocktails are the most-mentioned drink, and the bar also pours wine, beer, and coffee. Lunch and dinner are both served, with late-night food available too.
Vegetarian options are on the menu. One guest described the food as having "good consistency" in flavor. It's a crowd-pleasing offer that covers most bases without being a destination dining spot in itself.
