Sunahra Beach Club is on Playa de Poniente in Motril, right at the water on the Granada coast. It's a full chiringuito: restaurant, bar, sunbeds, hammocks and live music, all in one beachfront spot.
If it doesn't suit, the other beach clubs in Motril are laid out side by side in our city guide.
The vibe is casual and cozy rather than showy. Groups and tourists fill most tables, though it's popular for solo dining too. A fireplace terrace keeps things going into the evening, even outside the summer peak.
Prices run €20-40. Reservations are recommended for brunch, lunch and dinner. Free parking on-site and on the street is a genuine bonus for a spot this busy. Dogs are welcome and there's a kids area with high chairs.
Rated 4.3 from 3,158 reviews, with around 67% giving five stars. A small share of one-star reviews suggests it can be inconsistent on busy days, so booking ahead is worth it.

Food & Drinks at Sunahra Beach Club
Croquetas are the dish that comes up most. Tuna and tartare feature heavily in reviews too, which points to a menu that leans into Spanish seafood and tapas.
The kitchen covers the full day: breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, with salads, small plates, healthy options and vegetarian dishes alongside the mains.
Cocktails lead the drinks list and are well-rated. The beer selection is good, the wine list holds its own, and coffee gets strong marks. It's an easy place for a long, lazy afternoon on the sand.
