An In-Depth Look at the Puerto Banus Nightlife Tour

What does the tour include?

At its core, this guided bar crawl is about giving you a taste of Marbella’s luxurious nightlife without the stress of planning. Starting in front of the Sinatra Bar near the Fly Blue Ferry, the guide (like Franco) will meet you, introduce you to the scene, and then walk with you through Puerto Banus, highlighting the most popular and exclusive venues.

Your ticket covers an expert live guide, one drink, and free entry into multiple bars and clubs. As the guide has strong local connections, you won’t need to worry about long waits or cover charges—just enjoy the night.

The itinerary and stops

The tour doesn’t follow a fixed route but is designed for flexibility. You’ll begin at the OCCO Restaurant area, where you can soak in the scene of luxury cars passing by and fashionably dressed locals. The guide will pick venues based on your interests and mood, so whether you’re into dancing to live music, sipping cocktails, or just soaking up the glamour of the marina, you’ll find a spot that suits.

One review highlights that Franco chose three bars for his group, ensuring they got in easily and enjoyed different atmospheres—ranging from lively dance floors to relaxed lounges. The last stop in the reviews was along the marina, featuring a bar with ladies dancing on the bar in lingerie—a scene that some may find entertaining, others may prefer to skip. If that’s not your scene, you’re encouraged to move on to other venues, like Linekers bar, which offers a more dance-friendly environment.
