Summer is one of the very best times to visit Marbella, when the weather’s hot, the nights are long and the clubs and bars are jumping.

10 Reasons to Visit Marbella this Summer
This are our ten reasons to visit Marbella in summer:
The hot and sunny weather
It’s called the Costa del Sol for very good reason. You can expect average temperatures of between 28⁰C and 31⁰C during the day, and balmy evenings, with lows of 18⁰C. Marbella is blessed with a microclimate, which means temperatures are less extreme compared to the rest of the coast, so that’s another reason to choose Marbella!
The beautiful beaches and warm waters of the Mediterranean on your doorstep
If you love beaches, you’ll be spoilt for choice with 27.9km of beautiful beaches in Marbella, and many more in the surrounding areas. A trip to the beach is a highlight of any summer holiday in Marbella.
The gourmet delights of the Marbella restaurant scene and eating al fresco
With delicious Spanish food, plus international cuisine and fine dining restaurants all available in Marbella, you’ll find something to suit every taste. Long lunches, tapas tours and late dinners are a real highlight of summers in Marbella.
The packed calendar of events, activities and concerts
Summers are full of fantastic events, from concerts featuring global superstars, to club nights with big name DJs and of course the traditional ferias. There’s no excuse to be bored in Marbella in summer, check out these great events!
The waterparks and watersports
Having fun in the water is something that we love in the summer in Marbella. You’ll find opportunities to rent paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis and more, plus inflatable activities just off shore that are a lot of fun. A short drive from Marbella, in Fuengirola, is the great water park Aqua Mijas, which is definitely worth the trip.
The great family activities within easy reach.
Marbella is a great family destination, where kids are welcome and doted on by the locals. As well as the beaches and pools, which offer hours of entertainment, there are lots of playgrounds and parks to enjoy. Just a short drive outside of Marbella you’ll find zoos, water parks, safari parks and more, to keep the whole family entertained. Check out our guide to Marbella with kids.
Stunning scenery and countryside to explore
You may not think of Marbella as a natural paradise, but it’s actually a very green town and just outside of the town itself you will find some beautiful countryside and the opportunity for hiking and adventure activities.
The sunsets
Summer offers the most incredible sunsets, where the sky turns into a work of art. Sipping a cocktail while the sun goes down is something to remember! Here are our recommendations on the best places to watch the sunset in Marbella.
Marbella’s Old Town takes you back in time, and the music, dance and traditions of old live on during the fiesta season. There are also great art galleries and museums in Marbella itself and an incredible art scene in Malaga, so history buffs and culture vultures will be happy.

What to do in Marbella this Summer

Hit the beach
The number one plan for most tourists is to head to the beach and Marbella is blessed with 24 of them! Whether you grab a bucket and spade and a picnic, or book a sunbed in a fantastic beach club, no summer holiday in Marbella would be complete without a trip to the beach!

We’d recommend hiring a paddle board or kayak to take to the waves, it’s relaxing, fun and quite a workout too. Choose carefully, depending on the weather. Paddle surfing is most enjoyable when it’s very calm and the water is really still, whereas you can kayak even if there’s a little wind and a few waves.

Here are a few of our favorite clubs and bars in Marbella to help you choose where to go this summer.
As well as bars and clubs, Marbella and Andalucía as a whole is famous for its “Feria” culture. These are massive parties where all the town turns out in their flamenco finery to eat, drink and be merry during the summer months. Each town and village in Andalucia has their own feria, in honor of their patron saint. In Marbella, they are celebrating their feria from the 5th to the 11th of June and it’s a wonderful time to be here.

[post_content] => Spring has most definitely sprung here in Marbella! After some much needed rain, the flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and we’re loving life here right now. In this article, we’ll give you the low down on Marbella in Spring and let you know when to come and what to do during your stay. Check out our website, to find your perfect vacation rental in Marbella for your next visit.
Why visit Marbella in Spring
Marbella’s Spring season starts with a bang, with the Easter parades and activities. This is when the seasonal bars, restaurants and beach clubs reopen, more events take place and the atmosphere (and weather) starts hotting up.
In our opinion, Spring is a great time to visit Marbella, especially if you want to get active, visit monuments and museums and get to know the place on foot. Right now, the weather is perfect for getting out and about, with bright sunshine, blue skies, but cooler temperatures. There’s plenty to do, but without the crowds, so get on over here and make the most of Marbella in Spring!
Marbella weather in Spring
The weather steadily starts to warm up in April, with warm days and cool nights. You can expect highs of 21⁰ and lows of 11⁰. In May, this increases to highs of 24⁰ and lows of 14⁰. There are usually 4 days of rain in April and 3 days of rain in May, but you would usually find a few showers, rather than heavy and persistent rain at this time of the year.
What these stats don’t tell you, is that during the day, when you’re in the sun, it’s a lovely warm temperature and you’ll need some sun cream and probably a hat for exploring Marbella. People are on the beach already, especially in sheltered spots and shorts and t-shirts are perfect for the day.
The evenings are cooler, so smart visitors will head out for a meal in trousers and with a jacket or jumper as the night draws in. It’s a time for layers, to make sure that you’re comfortable, whether you’re in the shade, or the sun, whether it’s windy or not.
The nights are really comfortable for sleeping, without the need for aircon, so if you don’t like to get a sweat on, then this is the perfect time of year for you!
7 Things to do in Marbella in Spring
Think active pursuits to make the most of Spring in Marbella and have a few indoor activities in the plan, in case you do catch a rare rain shower or two. Here are our favorite things to do in Marbella in Spring.

Andalucia is famous around the world for its beautiful horses, and while Seville and Jerez are best known for being equestrian centers, Marbella actually has some fantastic options for keen horse riders, and those who are just getting started. There are a number of equestrian centers and riding schools, and companies which organize treks in different parts of the Costa del Sol. Exploring the beautiful countryside around Marbella on horseback is a very special experience. Find out more about horse riding in Marbella on our website.
Shop in Puerto Banús
Retail therapy and holidays go hand in hand, and it’s much more comfortable to shop ‘til you drop during Spring than in Summer.

Many also have thermal circuits and hydrotherapy pools, which you can visit for a few hours, at a very reasonable price.

What are your plans for Easter this year? If you’re thinking of a getaway, we’d recommend Marbella as an excellent Easter destination. At Easter, Marbella has a wonderful combination of culture, great places to eat and things to do. It is an Easter break with a difference and we think you’ll love it.
Here are our Top Tips for planning your Easter break in Marbella
Know the key dates – In Spain, Easter is a week-long affair. It starts this year on Sunday April 2th which is Palm Sunday and finishes with Easter Sunday on April 9st. Bank holidays fall on the 6th of April (Maundy Thursday) and 7th of April (Good Friday). All shops are closed on these days, so if you’re in a vacation rental, make sure you’ve stocked up at the supermarket!
See a parade – Every day of Easter week there are parades through the streets of all towns and villages in Andalucia. These are wonderful spectacles of devotion, with stunning “tronos” brought out from churches and chapels and carried through the streets. These are ornate sculptures of holy events, which take 20 or more people to carry. Expect music, incense and groups of the faithful, some with the iconic peaked hoods. There are two happy, daytime parades, on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. The others are sombre affairs, but really powerful and are often lit by thousands of candles. Marbella has some excellent parades, starting from the Old Town and going along the main road of Ricardo Sorriano.
Go to Malaga – Malaga is where the biggest, most impressive parades take place. It is famous for the drama, art, military splendour and outbursts of doleful flamenco. Thousands of people flock to the centre to witness these parades and it’s an amazing way to see the city. If you rent a car we’d recommend leaving it in the Plaza Mayor shopping centre parking and heading in by train. Many streets will be closed off due to the parades and parking will be difficult. Alternatively, we can organise a private transfer from your holiday rental into Malaga and get you as close to the action as possible. Once you’ve seen a parade, head to one of the many wonderful restaurants in the Old Town, or down to the lovely port area for a stroll and a bite to eat. Find out more about Malaga
Visit a white village – Even the tiniest villages have parades, and this can be a great way to see the typical “pueblo blancos” at their best. There are many beautiful villages dotted along just inland from the coast. Two of the most picturesque are Casares and Mijas Pueblo. Both have lovely parades, particularly on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Saturday. Get the programme of events from the Town Hall and then make your way to the village Church, as everything starts from there. Following a parade is an amazing way to explore a village like this and see all the locals on the streets.
Enjoy the wonderful restaurants – On Sundays and Bank Holidays here on the Costa del Sol shops are closed, so everyone heads out to the restaurants. Lunchtime is always buzzing and there’s a really great atmosphere, but it’s wise to book a table in these busy times. Before or after the parades, follow the people to have tapas and cold beers and enjoy the atmosphere. For our recommendations on where to eat in and around Marbella read our restaurant guide
Pack the layers – Easter is a great time to visit the Costa del Sol, but the weather is quite changeable. It can be very hot during the day and chilly at night and there can also be the occasional rain shower. So be prepared by packing the layers and a brolly to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the day.
