Discover the five best places to watch the sunset in Marbella and marvel at the stunning skies and breathtaking views of the Costa del Sol. Not to be missed.
At sunset in Marbella, the stunning sea, beautiful beaches and magnificent views take on a magical quality. This iconic stretch of the Costa del Sol is blessed with wonderful year-round weather, great light and on a clear evening, you can even see the Atlas Mountains in Africa. As the sun dips beneath the horizon, the sky appears painted with pinks, oranges and reds and this natural show will take your breath away. The very best sunsets take place in the winter months, from November to February, when the sky is clearest and you have the best chance of catching a glimpse of Africa. But they are stunning all year round.
Marbella sunsets are second to none and today we’ll give you the insiders’ guide to where to see the sunset in Marbella and enjoy this stunning sight to the full.
On the Beach
Marbella is blessed with 27.9km of beautiful beaches and they are a magnet for sun worshippers all year round. But they are not just a place for topping up your tan, they are also one of the best places to catch an iconic Marbella sunset.
We’d recommend heading down to El Faro Beach in central Marbella to catch the last of the sun in this sheltered cove. The water is shallow and calm and with the bars of Marbella Port behind you and the Mediterranean stretching out in front of you, you can see the lights of the seafront promenade and Puerto Banús start to twinkle, as the sun starts to dip. Then you’re in the perfect place to enjoy some of Marbella’s best bars and nightlife when the sun has gone down.
But that’s just one of the 24 fantastic beaches in Marbella. Some other beautiful blue flag beaches to watch the sunset in Marbella are El Ancón Beach on the Golden Mile, Guadalmina Beach, Nueva Andalucía Beach and if you’re happy to go a little further out from Marbella centre itself, Cabopino Beach and the beaches of Riviera are highly recommended.
Insiders’ Tip – We love to take a little picnic onto the beach to enjoy the sunset. Why not sip some delicious Spanish cava on a blanket, as the sun goes down and the stars come out?
Puerto Banús
Puerto Banús is Marbella’s most exclusive marina, home to superyachts, supercars and designer boutiques. It is also home to some fantastic bars and restaurants, just back from the water’s edge and these are great places to catch a Marbella sunset in style. There are some legendary spots, like Picasso Pizzeria and Sinatra Bar, which have hosted many famous faces over the years. All areas of the frontline Puerto Banús offer wonderful places to see the sunset in Marbella, overlooking some of the world’s most beautiful boats. But, for uninterrupted views, we’d recommend exploring the less well-known side of the port, by the Benabola development, where the tables are closer to the sea and the views are breathtaking at sunset.
Insiders’ Tip – Stroll around Puerto Banús at early evening to enjoy the buzz of the bars and restaurants and a little retail therapy. You can walk out to a viewing point right on the tip of the harbour, called Mirador del Muelle de Honor and have incredible views. This is Marbella sunsets as you’ve never seen it before!
Exclusive beach clubs and beach bars
We love going to a beach club for sundowners, especially on warm summer evenings. Getting dressed up and heading down for cocktails as the sun goes down is highly recommended. With cool music, beautiful people and a great atmosphere, they are the hottest places to people watch and be seen during the summer months. There are loads of wonderful options to choose from along the Costa del Sol. Some of the most popular are La Sala by the Sea, Mistral Beach Club, Ocean Club, Playa Padre and of course Nikki Beach. Taking a table at an exclusive beach club is an unforgettable setting for a Marbella sunset.
There are also hundreds of beach bars, along the long seafront promenade, which offer great places to see the sunset in Marbella. Grab a drink, or a bite to eat as the sun goes down and you won’t be disappointed.
Up on a Rooftop
Some of the very best views of sunsets in Marbella can be found from one of the many rooftop bars and restaurants. You can enjoy a few drinks, or a lovely meal, with a 360⁰ view. Several hotels in Marbella allow non-residents access to their rooftop terraces and bars. There are also some great bars, restaurants and nightclubs in Puerto Banús which offer rooftops to drink, dine and dance al fresco. For sunsets in Marbella, we’d recommend checking out the rooftop bars at Breathe in Nueva Andalucia, the Benabola Sky Lounge, the NH Hotel in San Pedro and the Virazón rooftop bar in Marbella Old Town.
From a sailboat
Last, but definitely not least, we’d recommend taking to the water at sunset to really feel part of one of the legendary Marbella sunsets. From the sea, you not only enjoy the view of the sun setting over the water, but also get an unbeatable view of the Costa del Sol coastline. As the sun sets and hits the iconic mountain of La Concha, it turns it the most spectacular shade of red.
There are a number of ways to do this, the most economical being taking a later Fly Blue Ferry from Banús to Marbella. This large catamaran offers a scenic 30-minute voyage, sailing every hour from 11.00 to 19.00 from March to November. Check out the time of the sunset for when you’re visiting and then time your trip to perfection and arrive in Marbella for dinner in an unforgettable fashion.
There are also many companies running sunset cruises on beautiful sailing yachts and motor boats. You can charter a boat from Puerto Banús and Marbella, for the whole day, or just a few hours at sunset. There are private hire options where you can include catering and entertainment for a private and luxurious experience, or you can join a group sailing to keep costs down.
Conclusion
Wherever you choose to enjoy a sunset in Marbella, we hope you’ll love the display. For us, it is one of the highlights of visiting the area. Vacation Marbella are here to help you find the best holiday rentals on the Costa del Sol and make your experience unforgettable. You can browse our selection of vacation rentals on our website and contact our helpful team for advice and practical support to make your holiday the very best it can be.

[post_content] => The Davis Cup is coming back to Marbella this September! We will host a pivotal Qualifiers tie between Spain and Denmark, which serves as a critical gateway to the prestigious Final 8 of the tournament. Taking place on the weekend of the 13th and 14th of September, at the renowned Puente Romano Tennis Club, this match holds significant implications for both nations, with the winner securing a coveted spot in the championship phase.
Marbella's selection as host city is a testament to its world-class sports facilities and long history of successfully staging high-profile tennis events. The ultimate culmination of the Davis Cup will take place from November 18th to 23rd 2025, at the Super Tennis Arena in Bologna, Italy, where the world's top eight national teams will compete for the title.
Tickets are now on sale and in this article, we’ll be sharing everything you need to do to enjoy these exciting tennis matches in Marbella, plus where to stay.
Spain vs. Denmark, Davis Cup tie in Marbella
This tournament will pit the Spanish team against the Danish team for the 2nd round of qualifiers, to decide who will proceed to the championship phase.
Spain sailed through with a 3-1 win over Switzerland in the Qualifiers 1st Round, while Denmark had to work harder, achieving a comeback victory against Serbia in the 1st Round.
Spain and Denmark have faced each other six times in the history of the Davis Cup, with Spain ahead on victories 3-2. Spain have been Davis Cup champions six times, last winning the title in 2019, while Denmark is still searching for their first win. At time of writing, Spain is currently 7th in the ranking, with Denmark ranked 18th, so Spain goes into the tournament as favorites.
While official team nominations for the Spain vs. Denmark tie in Marbella are typically finalized closer to the event date, the Davis Cup official website provides an indication of players who have recently represented Spain in previous ties.
The Danish team have the highest ranked player - Holgar Rune, who is ranked 8th in the Singles ranking and has been ranked as high as 4th in the world, so he’ll be hard to beat. The Spanish team players include Pedro Martinez (Singles – 47, Doubles - 92), Jaume Munar (Singles – 51, Doubles 104), Roberto Carbakkes Baena (Singles 79, Doubles 582) and Martin Landaluce (Singles ranking 138). Completing the Danish team is Johannes Ingildsen (Doubles ranking – 128) and Elmer Moeller (Singles ranking – 102 and Doubles ranking 1,405).
Each nation generally fields a team comprising four or five players, with the country's captain making the ultimate decision on which players will participate in the singles and doubles matches. We’ll wait to see which players are finally picked to represent their country.
What matches will be played?
Davis Cup Qualifier ties are structured as a series of five matches, commonly referred to as "rubbers," and contested over two days. Day 1 typically features two singles matches, followed by one doubles match and two reverse singles matches on Day 2. All individual matches are played as the best of three tie-break sets. To win the tie, a country must secure victories in three or more of the five scheduled matches.
Spain enters this encounter with a strong performance in the Qualifiers 1st Round, with Denmark demonstrating considerable resilience by overcoming Serbia in their 1st Round tie. The victor of the Spain vs. Denmark tie will earn a highly sought-after position among the elite eight teams that will ultimately contend for the championship in Bologna.
The format of five rubbers, where each point is crucial, means that the entire tie can pivot on the performance of any given player in their singles or doubles contest. This structure makes every game full of drama and great to watch! The "best of three tie-break sets" format for individual matches further amplifies the potential for close contests and dynamic shifts in momentum – we can’t wait!
Matches are estimated to start at 11.00 each day, with doors opening around 10.00.
Where to buy a ticket?
Tickets went on sale for this exciting tournament in June and are available online on the RFET website, and the El Corte Ingles ticketing website, but are selling fast. You can purchase daily tickets from €53, or a two-day ticket from €93.
There will also be a ticket office in the tennis club, where you can purchase tickets on the days itself, subject to availability.
Davis Cup Final in Bologna, Italy
The Davis Cup season culminates with the Final 8 tournament, a knockout stage where the world's top national teams vie for the coveted championship title. This is what the two stage qualifiers are leading up to!
The Davis Cup Final 8 for 2025 will take place from November 18th to 23rd at the Super Tennis Arena in the Bologna Fiere exhibition center in Italy.
The Final 8 operates as a knockout stage, with each tie consisting of three rubbers: two singles matches and one doubles match. The country that wins at least two of these three matches advances to the next round.
We already know two of the 8 teams, as Italy automatically secures a spot as the host nation and the Netherlands also gains direct entry, having been the runners-up of the 2024 Davis Cup. The remaining spots will be filled by the winners of the Davis Cup Qualifiers 2nd Round ties, with the Spain vs. Denmark tie in Marbella being one such crucial match.
Puente Romano Tennis Club, the home of the Davis Cup in Marbella
The Puente Romano Tennis Club is a prestigious venue with a rich tennis history, which has previously played host to four Davis Cup qualifiers, as well as many other important tournaments such as the Marbella Masters. The club is particularly noted for its outdoor clay courts, a surface that should offer a strategic advantage to the Spanish players, who have a great history on the surface.
The club is located within the luxurious Puente Romano Beach Resort on the "Golden Mile" in Marbella and boasts ten courts - eight clay and two hard. The fantastic Center Court is clay and can seat approximately 2,500 people. It also features four Padel Tennis Courts, a state-of-the-art Gym, Fitness Studio, Turkish Bath, Sauna, and Steam Room, Luxurious Changing Rooms and a café overlooking the courts.
Established in 1979, the club was initially managed by tennis legend Bjorn Borg. Wimbledon Champion Manolo Santana took over in 1983 and guided its development until 1998. It has hosted various prestigious events, including ATP, WTA, and Davis Cup matches, attracting top players like Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Serena Williams, and Henri Leconte.
The history of the Davis Cup in Marbella
Marbella first hosted the Davis Cup in 1989 and has hosted it four times in total – 1989, 2009, 2018 and 2022. All matches have been played at the historic Puente Romano Tennis Club, which is once again hosting in 2025. Last year, Malaga hosted the finals of the Davis Cup, showing the popularity of the area for the organizers.
Marbella's consistent selection as a host city for Davis Cup events, underscores its established reputation for delivering world-class sporting competitions, supported by outstanding facilities and a strategic home-court advantage on clay.
Marbella is a wonderful destination for any lovers of sports and the great outdoors, whether you want to watch, or play! You can play padel tennis, golf, tennis, try polo, sailing and watersports, go hiking, horse riding and more.
Where to stay in Marbella if you want to watch the tennis?
Parking in and around the Puente Romano can be tricky, so ideally, you’ll want to be within walking distance of the club. This means choosing a vacation rental on the Golden Mile.
This is a great place to stay to be within easy reach of the tennis club, the center of Marbella with its historic Old Town, and the exclusive enclave of Puerto Banus. It also boasts some of the most beautiful and desirable properties in the area.
Alternatively, you can base yourself in a vacation rental in Marbella Old Town, for history, culture and charm on your doorstep. It’s only a short cab ride from the Puente Romano, and we can also organize a private transfer from your vacation rental to make it really easy for you.
We hope to see you in September, for some exciting Davis Cup action!
