Olivia Valere
It's worth staying up late for this night club disco which is located on the Istan road near the Marbella Mosque. Housed in a purpose built Moorish/Andaluz style structure with a vast dance floor, several bars and outdoor terrace for al fresco sippin'. Be careful not to choke when you see the bill. Seriously swanky nightclub, always delivers a euphoric punch, great to celebrity spot but only the disco shiny likely to get in. Ctra. Istan Km 0.8.

Café del Mar
Part of the Hotel Puente Romano, this is one of Marbella´s coolest clubs. Dreamy beachside setting. Popular with the Baywatch babe lookalikes.

Oh Marbella
Hotel Don Carlos, Marbella. Always a favourite. Open during the summer months, internationally known DJ's spin the tunes at this, one of Marbella's most popular disco's. If the legs start to weaken about 04.30 they'll change DJ's and 'bring on the late night hard man'. His beat keeps even the faint hearted dancing till dawn.

Scream Disco - (Puerto Banus)
Name says it all - one for lovers of loud music!

La Comedia - (Puerto Banus)
Puerto Banús's most popular club, La Comedia is a great place to drink, dance and have a rocking good time to the latest hits until the early hours.
