Puerto Banús as part of Marbella
Puerto Banús is often spoken of as though it were its own town, but administratively it is a district of Marbella, sitting on the coast between San Pedro de Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía. It has no residential centre of its own in the way Fuengirola or Estepona do — it is built around the marina and the commercial strip that surrounds it.
For anyone planning a journey east, that means Puerto Banús shares Marbella's transport limitations: good road links, no rail connection.
The drive to Fuengirola
The A-7 is the direct route, running past San Pedro, Marbella centre and along the coast towards Fuengirola. It can be slow through Marbella's built-up stretches, particularly on summer evenings when the marina and surrounding restaurants are busy.
The AP-7 toll road offers a quicker, more predictable alternative for most of the journey, rejoining the coast closer to Fuengirola.
A different kind of evening
Puerto Banús's reputation is built on visibility — the boats, the shopfronts, the terraces. A private members' club works on the opposite principle: a quiet, indoor space away from that scene, which is precisely why some Puerto Banús residents and regular visitors choose to make the drive.
It suits people who want somewhere to relax without the marina's constant foot traffic, rather than another version of it.
How the club works for those unfamiliar with the process
As a private association, Weed Club Fuengirola does not publish its address, list prices or advertise opening hours in the way a bar or shop would. That is standard for cannabis social clubs across Spain, and applies equally to everyone, wherever they are travelling from.
The way in is simple: message the team on WhatsApp, and they will explain what is needed and where to go for in-person registration.
