A group of 6 of us visited Saturday 7th September we had an amazing day. We pre booked a bed with €750 credit for drinks, we had two 3 litre bottles of Miravel rose. We also had lunch separately which was gorgeous. We all enjoyed our meals, all waiting staff were outstanding, they went above and beyond and smiling whilst looking after us. Our waiter even topped our glasses up when we were in the pool, nothing was too much trouble. Yes it’s expensive but we had an amazing day and thought it was well worth it. Well done and thank you Nikki Beach, such wonderful staff.

Beautiful luxury beds although slightly on top of each other. Tattinger champagne a wonderful touch when booking Cabana. Food was ok but expected much better quality chicken in the wrap, it was grey. We were not offered extra towels had to ask and we did not pay the service charge as unfortunately our waiter was not very attentive and we had to go look for other staff for service. The music was repetitive and not varied enough.
I have unfortunately had to compare this club experience against Nikki beach Dubai which I had visited two weeks prior, which was absolutely sensational on all levels. This was a let down in comparison!!

A girls day at Nikki Beach and wow did it live up to what I had hoped for.
The music was the right vibe for a chilled but fun day with a saxophone player also making his way around the pool.
Our bed was on the beach which for us was the perfect location with our waiter Ismael being attentive at all times. The food and drinks were tasty (although expensive) but the complimentary fruit was a nice touch.
We had the best day and will definitely be returning!
FYI - you aren’t allowed to bring in water or snacks so id recommend drinking a lot of water before entry.

I had pre-booked lunch for 3 people on Sunday 5th May. On the website we wanted to also book sun loungers on the beach @ €50 each as the website advised we could book if available on the day.
We were first customers to arrive and plenty of availability on sun loungers but refused entry as Nikki beach claimed you could only book the sun loungers in groups of 2 people!
If we had arrived as two separate groups as 2 and then 1 person they advised we would have been accommodated but now they knew we were 3 people, ridiculous,
We offered to rent 4 sun loungers but they refused.
Their only suggestion was to rent a Cababa with free Cava @ €400 but we didn’t like this option so had to leave.
A complete rip off, will never be back. Staff were rude and obnoxious.

After spending an afternoon at this overpriced venue, hundreds of euros on average food and wine, this bar will not offer you a glass of tap water but instead expect you to pay further €10 for every bottle of water. Very disappointing.
It is also my understanding is that this is against Spainish law and on a warm sunny day, shows absolutely no duty of care for patrons

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Nikki Beach Marbella. We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time with us. Our goal is to have every guest feel welcome and enjoy the true "Nikki Beach experience," but it appears that we fell short of delivering the perfect experience for you.
Whilst I understand your frustration regarding our prices and I take on board your comment, we monitor our prices against similar luxury beach clubs and restaurants in Marbella and have found our pricing to be competitive.
I do hope to welcome you back to Nikki Beach in the future and hope that you might give us another chance to change your opinion of us.

My friend booked Nikki beach for our girl’s trip which we were looking forward to. There were five of us. Upon arrival, one of the front of house members denied us entry because three of my friends were wearing black swimwear (which is just what they feel more comfortable in) and I was wearing white so they just made the assumption that we were a hen party despite the fact that one of my friends was wearing a pink swimsuit. We genuinely didn’t “plan” it specially as their website says about “hen parties” BUT it doesn’t specify that if more than two are the same colour you’ll be denied entry which I pointed out to front of house. For us it was their job’s worth attitude and complete arrogance speaking to us, making assumptions and discriminating. It is not the Nikki beach experience that they sell where you’ll be made to feel amazing, quite simply the opposite. One of my friends had to go and buy a brand new swimsuit and when we went back (which I wouldn’t have gone back but my friends said that we’d travelled all that way) the front of house was still extremely arrogant and condescending still. I spoke to the manager once we were inside and requested to make a formal complaint in their complaints book which the manager said was at reception so I could do it on the way out. When we left, I requested the book as agreed and the manager “Jeremy” if that’s even his real name said they don’t have one and proceeded to then say that they did us a favour letting us and changed his tune entirely once we had spent nearly €€€€ in there and was incredibly rude. He could have just apologised and validate what the customer was saying. I wanted to write the complaint because they need to be more explicit on their website about their dress code. Honestly, if you want to be disrespected this is the place to go. Bravo!

Having lived in Las Vegas for more than a decade I found the Nikki Beach Club a bit dated, overpriced and extremely difficult to even schedule a lunch reservation.
Although, I found the staff to be very friendly and responsive I found lunch to be subpar at best. My tiny tasteless salad was 30 euros and another 30 euros for basically a small pasta dish.
Additionally, I thought it was a bit peculiar how many children were at the club; it’s not what the venue was advertised as. Even the music was a redundant bop of unimaginative beats. For all the hype I was very disappointed with the whole experience…

Visited Nikki Beach to experience the atmosphere for herself after many stories. Were assigned a table in the restaurant, with the intention of having a nice drink. After serving the drinks we were asked what we wanted to know. When we indicated that we were just coming for a drink, the waiter came back with security to tell us that we really had to leave after the drink. You should also eat something there. They got really angry, you keep a table occupied where they can make a lot of money. San Miguel beer from €10. Bottles of wine up to €25,000. It's all about nothing there.

I have been a regular visitor to Nikki Beach Marbella since it’s inception. It created many good memories for years then sadly they got a silly with new pricing procedures like forcing customers to pay a minimum 600 euros on a bottle of Dom Perignon to reserve a table. I refused to be part of this madness and found other new good beach clubs on the coast to enjoy my days.
In May this year 2022 we booked a table for 14 or so and where please to be informed there was no longer the instant cost of a 600 euro bottle of champagne. Hey presto a company smart enough to reverse a policy rather than ruin its brand. I commend them for this action.
Now for our two recent visits in May and June. It takes a lot of organising to put the goings on at Nikki beach and the systems were impeccable, timing, politeness and efficiency of waiters namely Yesica Paola Ventos and Ildiko for her continual eye on making sure we were enjoying ourselves and happy with the service and more. Food was good but not fantastic but the atmosphere eclectic.
Beds, sofas and furnishings immaculate and clean not a single spot could be traced. It can be said it’s overpriced but when you take the cost of putting together the cost of a thoroughly clean establishment including the lavatories the sounds with live DJs unbelievable dual percussionists and saxophone players the cost is reasonable.
On both occasions we all had a thoroughly amazing time. Nikki beach well done you have regained our support and thank you for putting on a great show. You will see more of us in the coming months.

Had a Sunday lunch there. Excellent food and great atmosphere with entertainment so why 4*
Can expect it to be pricey - which it is, based on the environment and associated entertainment. However they add a service charge to the bill (15%) - again ok - but then state 'No tips added'. Think this is really bit much. Can't add service charge and then rely on people being drunk enough not to notice when they ask for tips too.
So despite the food being really excellent, I can away with a rather bitter taste!

My boyfriend and I went to Nikki beach yesterday, we had good time good vibe and my boyfriend wanted a massage as he’s getting the massage he can hear plates and pans clattering as it was done right next to the kitchen. He said it didn’t feel like a massage and was not relaxing yet it cost €120 🙈. Afterwards he asked the lady where is the shower so he can take lotion off and she said get in the pool!!!!!!! He’s got in the pool for 5 minutes to take it off and came back over with the worst sunburn I’ve ever seen in my life and we was in the shade the whole day too. today he cannot move out of the bed it’s so bad even after putting aloe Vera and after sun on.

Booked for a boozy lunch. Staff service was impeccable thanks to Jessica. Table booked for the 1pm-3pm slot, we arrived 20 minutes early but were able to go straight to our table and because our table wasn’t booked straight after us we were able to stay and soak in the atmosphere until 5pm or so. Which we really appreciated as we kept the drinks flowing. Great cocktails/wine list. Lovely, delicious food. Fun music. Didn’t feel pretentious. Would visit again.

Just wanted to leave a review from the summer. My wife and I have been visiting Nikki Beach Marbella for over 12yrs+ and always “Amazing Sunday”. We have seen May changes and every time it is incredible. This time though was by far the best experience for two reasons:
1) We celebrated our 10yr anniversary with close friends and you really can’t beat sitting by the sea, with great food, beautiful friends and Minuty Rose’ en magnum! Stunning!
2) The incredible Yesica - Who looked after us from minute one and never failed to be fun, polite, helpful and always on hand to make sure the day was a true success.
I believe it is really important to praise restaurants when they get it right. Everyone of my friends still talk about the “brilliant service” and always with fun sense of humour and a smile (even though behind a mask you could see it!). In fact we are back this year and have asked for Yesica by name. 🙌
Well don’t Nikki Beach Marbella - you never disappoint.
Muchas Gracias and see you soon big love ❤️

Paid 30 euros there and back in a taxi, was told the €50 day beds were taking and hardly anyone was in. Only the €400 up beds were available. We had said we would then just come in for food but weren’t aloud as we had to cover up baring in mind we had skirts and crop tops on, then stated we weren’t aloud In for food and only aloud in bar but I would have to take my birthday hairband off, felt very under minded, definitely won’t be back.

Arrived with a group of friends for a big birthday, we’d already booked months prior and came on opening day.
We had Chris all day as our waitor and a security man next to our sun beds who was also lovely (sacha)
Chris was absolutely lovely, always checking we had enough drinks and food etc. the premises is utterly immaculate, as it should be for such a well known beach club.
Toilets were lovely and clean, everywhere was just 5 stars.
The music was just such a fun vibe, food was lovely and tasty and all the alcohol we consumed I couldn’t argue with either.
A really rememberable day.
