La Malaka Beach Club is a restaurant and cocktail bar right on Calahonda beach, just below the Balcón de Europa (Calle Puerta del Mar 2). What makes it special is the setting: tables with sea views a few steps from the centre of Nerja. It has a 4.5 rating on Google from more than 900 reviews.

What there is. Mediterranean food for sharing: starters, salads, pasta, fish and meat, plus breakfast in the morning, desserts and a long cocktail list. Expect to pay €20-40 per person, and drinks are on the pricey side. It opens every day from 10:00 until midnight, and until 2:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, so it works for breakfast, lunch by the sea or a drink at sunset.

What reviews say. The views and the atmosphere are the best-rated aspects, and many customers praise the friendly staff. Criticism mentions high prices for what you get, long waits at dinner on the busiest days and uneven food.

Tip. You can book, and in summer it is worth doing, especially for dinner or a front-row table. If the view is what you are after, a drink at sunset is the best way to enjoy it. More places in where to eat in Nerja.

Where to park

Another nearby alternative is the Carabeo car park, an equally convenient option if the main car park is full or if you want to explore other parts of the old town.
