The figures, summer 2026

Average sunbed, per day: €131
Dearest: Ocean Club, Puerto Banús: €300
Any public beach: €0

Towel not included, and we will keep saying it.

Methodology

Two sunbeds plus a minimum spend, on a weekday, in high season. Nothing else counts. Prices are sourced from each venue's own website, rate card or booking page, not observed in person, last confirmed 11 August 2026: each venue's own source link and date are in the raw data. The average is the 7 paid venues only: weekends, low season and the free public beach all sit outside it.

How to credit us
