El Oceano Beach Hotel & Beach Club sits on the Mijas Costa stretch of the Costa del Sol, between La Cala de Mijas and Marbella. It's a 55-room boutique hotel, but the beach club and restaurant welcome non-guests too.
It's one of the beach clubs in Mijas Costa we cover in full, with prices and booking tips for each.
The pool terrace runs along the seafront with premium sunbeds and full table service. You can stay dry all day and still feel like you're right on the water. There's a spa on site for anyone who wants more than sun and a swim.
It's an adults-only venue, no one under 14. That keeps things calm and draws a loyal crowd. Many guests come back year after year.
Prices are €€€ and reservations are strongly recommended in summer. Parking is on site, just off the A-7 at km 1026.
Rated 4.4/5 from 681 reviews, it holds up well for a place combining pool, spa, restaurant and beachfront in one stop.

Food & Drinks at El Oceano Beach Hotel & Beach Club
The restaurant is a proper fine dining setup with sea views. The menu goes well beyond typical beach club fare, which is why many people come specifically for dinner rather than just a swim.
Live entertainment runs most evenings, making it more of an occasion than a meal. The bar does full table service at the pool throughout the day.
