Marbella Playa Campsite to Reopen This Summer with 429 Pitches Near the Sea

Marbella will expand its outdoor accommodation offering this summer with the reopening of Marbella Playa campsite, a historic property with more than 50 years of experience in the tourism sector.

The site is undergoing a repositioning and reopening project designed to modernise its facilities while preserving the traditional and practical character of a classic campsite.

The new concept will focus primarily on travellers using caravans and motorhomes, with a total of 429 pitches and direct access to Las Cañas beach.

Pitches Measuring Between 40 and 70 Square Metres

The campsite will offer 429 pitches ranging in size from 40 to 70 square metres.

This layout will accommodate different types of vehicles and allow visitors to choose a space suited to the size of their caravan or motorhome.

The project maintains the property’s traditional pitch-based format while introducing improvements to the facilities and communal areas.

The aim is to provide a practical and straightforward experience adapted to current expectations regarding comfort, connectivity and service quality.

Swimming Pool, Sauna and Wi-Fi

The reopening will include a range of upgraded services for guests.

The facilities announced include a swimming pool, sauna, laundry service and Wi-Fi throughout the site.

Each pitch will also have access to a 16-amp electricity supply, an important feature for travellers staying in motorhomes and caravans.

A kiosk will operate inside the campsite, giving guests convenient access to basic products during their stay.

The main facilities will include:

429 pitches for caravans and motorhomes
Pitch sizes from 40 to 70 square metres
Swimming pool and sauna
Laundry service
Wi-Fi connection
16-amp electricity supply
On-site kiosk

Less Than 100 Metres from Las Cañas Beach

One of the campsite’s main attractions is its location beside the Mediterranean.

The property is situated on the former N-340 road, less than 100 metres from Las Cañas beach, with direct access available for guests.

Las Cañas is known for its fine, soft sand and its location on Marbella’s eastern coastline.

The proximity to the sea means visitors will be able to reach the beach without using their vehicles, an important advantage for those travelling by caravan or motorhome.

More Than 50 Years of Tourism History

Marbella Playa campsite has been part of the municipality’s tourism history for more than five decades.

Its reopening will restore an accommodation model that has become increasingly popular due to the growth of motorhome travel and demand for outdoor holiday experiences.

The project aims to preserve the site’s historic identity while adapting it to the needs of today’s travellers.

The modernisation of the facilities will combine the traditional camping experience with updated services and a privileged coastal location.

Working with Local Suppliers

The owners also intend to strengthen the campsite’s relationship with Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol.

The project will seek to work with local suppliers and create partnerships with businesses connected to food, leisure, nature and tourism activities.

This approach will encourage guests to explore other parts of the municipality during their stay, including its beaches, natural areas, shops and restaurants.

Using local products and services may also help spread the economic impact of the reopening across the surrounding area.

An Alternative to Hotels and Holiday Apartments

The return of Marbella Playa campsite will increase the variety of accommodation available in one of Spain’s leading tourist destinations.

Marbella already has a significant selection of hotels, resorts, apartments and holiday rentals, but campsites provide a different option for travellers seeking greater independence and closer contact with the outdoors.

The property will particularly appeal to visitors travelling with their own accommodation and planning longer stays while exploring different areas of the Costa del Sol.

With 429 pitches, upgraded facilities and direct beach access, the campsite aims to re-establish itself as an important part of Marbella’s tourism offering.
