Handpicked by a Marbella Local Expert, we bring you our guide to 'Best Venues to Lounge in the Sunshine'.

When the sun is at its peak in high season not all of us enjoy sitting on a sunbed and soaking up the rays.  Comfy sofa areas and plenty of shade is often a blissful way to enjoy a Marbella Summer afternoon, especially if you have a cocktail in hand or maybe just a good book to read.

All of the venues we mention here allow just that and most will also allow you to order food and drinks in those areas so it is a super happy medium for those that want to feel utlra relaxed in the sunshine but avoid a more formal restaurant environment.
