Buddha Beach | Boutique Chic on the Beach at Nueva Andalucia

Just launched this summer and only open a few weeks now is the new Buddha Beach, “Marbella’s first boutique beach club”, located in the former Moosh-Moosh beach club on the beach, close to Puerto Banus.
Buddha Beach is a small beach club which includes two champagne and cocktail bars, a comfortable al fresco restaurant, swimming pool, boutique and sunbeds right on the beach. There's also a rock pool jacuzzi - an area that can be hired by groups for an indulgent - and cool - day at the beach. The club is attractively designed in an Asian style, with serene looking Buddhas, wooden decking and teak beach beds and cabañas around the pool and beach. The venue's atmosphere is more chilled out than full-on party, champagne spraying holiday time.

Open just for lunches, the menu has an East meets West theme and includes such delights as Sushi, Chicken Satay skewers and Thai Green Curry plus serves succulent seafood platters and great looking salads.

At weekends the volume and the tempo are cranked up with regular party nights planned from the likes of Kinki Malinki and Miss Moneypenny, as well as Cuban extravaganzas with live salsa, it looks like Buddha Beach will be a fun venue close to Cumbres del Rodeo. Large plasma screen TVs are there for sporting events.

Buddha Beach is easily reached on foot from the Nueva Andalucia Roundabout. Park your car up and then walk under the underpass and take the turnoff with the barrier, then walk for 5 mins to the bottom of the road where you will see a entry way to the club. Closer parking is difficult and access may be limited by the barrier. Alternately, walk from the beach at Puerto Banus heading west, past Ocean Club.
