Ember Club sunrise manifestation event on the beach
Wellness · Golden Mile
Sunrise Manifestation
Ember Club
Golden Mile, Marbella
"7am on the beach. Red light therapy mat, stone eye mask, headphones in. A sound bath, then journaling, then a guided manifestation. Peaceful, completely immersive, and unlike anything else in Marbella. Oats, drinks and a goody bag at the end. Worth every penny."

Sound Baths & Ceremonies
Soul Resets
San Pedro, Marbella
"Shannon has been on her own healing journey and now creates these spaces for others — and you feel that in every detail. Her space is a beautiful bright room with its own terrace. Positive affirmations in the bathroom, scents, homemade cookies, goody bags. The sound bath itself is a full immersion — warm, connecting, deeply calm. She hosted my birthday and it was genuinely unforgettable."
Shannon designs events around you — birthdays, private groups, special occasions. Reach out directly via Instagram.

Lucia Marbella
Next door to Nikki Beach · Two Wednesdays a month
"Outdoor pilates front row to the sea, vibrant umbrellas, Mediterranean decor. Afterwards the girls head to the bar for matcha cocktails and colourful protein shakes — honestly that part is just as good. Lucia also run monthly workshops — follow their Instagram to see what's on."

Fitness · La Cala de Mijas
Beach Yoga
Yoga by Amanda
Playa El Bombo, La Cala de Mijas · Tuesdays 9:45am
"On a wooden platform right on the boardwalk, open sea in front of you. Classes vary — flows, breathwork, balancing — with a lovely calm energy. Afterwards the boardwalk stretches to Cabopino, perfect for a walk or breakfast in the sun."
★★★★★
Dining
2 restaurants
Cascada Marbella open kitchen with chefs at work
Dining · The Hills Above Marbella
Hidden Oasis
Cascada Marbella
The hills above Marbella, adjacent to a waterfall
"Tucked in the hills, next to a cascading waterfall. Elegant without being stiff, full of character and soul. I went for their six-hands dinner — multiple courses, wine pairings, open kitchen. The kind of place you leave already planning your return. Live music on weekends."
Six-hands dinners run approximately every two months — follow their website for upcoming dates.
★★★★★
AMU Marbella red and white striped bar with sea views
Dining · Playa Real de Zaragoza
Riviera by the Sea
AMU Marbella
Playa Real de Zaragoza · Part of Gran Marbella Resort
"The bread, olives and olive oil from the start set the tone — everything that followed delivered. Tuna steak, beautiful salads, stunning sea views. The decor is gorgeous, the seating comfortable, the flowers everywhere. Pet friendly too — my chihuahua approved. Originally from Monaco, this is their first Spanish location and it shows."
