Air by Breathe Rooftop Bar & Signature Cocktails in Marbella

Signature cocktails, sushi platters, and DJ beats on a glamorous rooftop near Puerto Banús.

Air by Breathe rises above the Breathe Marbella complex near Puerto Banús, where the rooftop scene meets the glamour the marina is famous for.

This is Marbella nightlife elevated, with Mediterranean views stretching toward the Sierra Blanca mountains.

Open to the public and not just hotel guests, Air by Breathe has carved out a reputation as one of the coast's most stylish evening destinations.

What makes it special is the combination: expertly crafted cocktails, a serious sushi and fusion menu, resident DJs, and a crowd that takes dressing up seriously.

Best For

  • Trendsetters & style-conscious travellers
  • Couples looking for a romantic sushi-and-sunset setting
  • Groups pre-gaming before Puerto Banús nightlife
  • Champagne lovers

Not Ideal For

  • Families with children
  • Guests seeking a quiet, laid-back rooftop
  • Budget-conscious visitors

The Vibe

Air by Breathe is where Marbella's rooftop scene meets Puerto Banús glamour.

Sleek glass walls, glowing lanterns, and modern lounge seating set the tone from the moment you step out of the elevator.

The atmosphere evolves through the evening.

Early arrivals settle in for sushi and cocktails with the sunset, conversation flowing easily as the sky shifts from blue to pink.

As darkness falls, DJs pick up the tempo, champagne corks pop more frequently, and the terrace transforms into something closer to a chic nightclub than a quiet bar.

It's an upscale rooftop designed for stylish nights with a Mediterranean edge. The crowd skews fashionable and international, a mix of Marbella regulars and visitors who've done their homework on where to spend an evening.

The View & Seating

From the terrace, you'll take in the rooftops of Marbella and the Sierra Blanca mountains in the distance.

At sunset, the skyline glows pink while yachts flicker in the marina below. On clear evenings, the Mediterranean stretches endlessly to the horizon.

Seating options include:

  • Low lounge sofas for groups sharing sushi platters
  • High-top cocktail tables for drinks and conversation
  • Dining setups for couples watching the sunset
  • VIP areas for champagne service and celebrations

The best tables are along the terrace edge, where the view is unobstructed and the sunset hits at just the right angle.

How to Make a Reservation

Reservations are highly recommended, especially for sunset hours and weekends.

During peak summer months, showing up without a booking means risking a wait or being turned away.

You can reserve through their website or by calling directly.

For special occasions or larger groups, booking ahead is essential.

Golden Hour at Puerto Banús

The glamorous marina comes alive at sunset when superyachts glitter and the waterfront restaurants fill up. This is where Marbella's famous luxury lifestyle is on full display.

Walk the harbour around 7pm when the yachts are lit up but the crowds haven't peaked. The western end is quieter and offers better sunset views.

Where to Stay

H10 Andalucía Plaza - Walking distance to Puerto Banús with its own rooftop bar. Get the sunset twice - at the port and from your hotel.

Our Verdict

Air by Breathe blends Marbella's love of rooftop sunsets with Puerto Banús' taste for glamour.

It's a place where you can start the night with expertly prepared sushi, transition into cocktails as the DJ picks up, and stay for the lively rooftop energy until late.

Best for: Style-conscious visitors who want a complete evening out. Sushi, sunset, cocktails, and a scene that builds as the night goes on.

Skip if: You're looking for a quiet drink or traveling with young children. The vibe here is decidedly grown-up and energetic.

This is the rooftop you dress up for. Come for sunset, stay for the atmosphere, and let the evening unfold.
