The best beach clubs in Mijas — sunbeds, pools, DJs, cocktails and long lunches by the sea. Compare the spots and plan the perfect beach day.
Mijas Costa has a quieter, more grown-up beach-club scene than Marbella. El Oceano, between La Cala and Calahonda, is the polished adults-only hotel whose pool club and restaurant take day visitors; Max Beach at Riviera del Sol is the glossy one, with an infinity pool and wide sea views.
In La Cala de Mijas itself, Único Beach and Lakala Beach sit on the sand either side of the village — sunbeds, cocktails and a long lunch, without the day-party volume.
