Nido Beach Club & Restaurant sits at Km 151 of the Mediterranean highway near Costa Natura, on a quieter stretch of coast between Estepona and Marbella. Pool, restaurant, sunbeds and a full bar make up the setup, all running from a single seasonal venue.
It's one of the beach clubs in Marbella we cover in full, with prices and booking tips for each.
The pool is the focal point. Hammocks and deck chairs fill out the space, and the crowd here leans relaxed rather than party-heavy. Service is personal and consistent. Staff members Jesus and Nacho get called out by name across dozens of reviews, which doesn't happen at places where service is average.
Paella is the main event for food. The flan has a genuine following among regulars. Cocktails are the most talked-about item on the menu, well ahead of everything else. The kitchen runs lunch and dinner, all outdoors.
Prices are €€, moderate for the Costa del Sol. There's a free parking lot on site with plenty of space, which is unusual for beach clubs along this stretch. Reservations are accepted and the venue takes cards and NFC payments.
Rated 4.7 from 3,131 Google reviews, with 86% five stars. There's a small tail of one-star reviews that brings the occasional poor experience into the picture. It's a seasonal venue, closing in mid-September each year.

Food & Drinks at Nido Beach Club & Restaurant
The kitchen is built around Spanish classics. Paella is the dish people come back for, and the flan is a recurring dessert order. Lunch and dinner are both served, with all seating outdoors.
Cocktails lead the drinks list by some margin. Beer, wine, and coffee are all available, but the bar is where this place really earns its reputation. Guests consistently rate the drinks as one of the highlights.
