Plans for October in Marbella

Marbella in October is perfect for enjoying the off-season. Temperatures hover around 25°C, the days are bright, and sunsets over the Mediterranean paint the sky in golden hues. It’s the ideal time to stroll through the old town, enjoy the beach without crowds, and experience the most authentic and relaxed side of the Costa del Sol. Here’s what to do in Marbella during this time of year.

The best events in Marbella in October 2025

For those wondering what to do in Marbella in October, the month offers the perfect blend of tranquillity, culture and social life: concerts, gastronomic experiences, festivals, and the most stylish Halloween parties in southern Spain.

Rooftop concert at Óbal Hotel

On Saturday 25 October, the 360 Blue Sky Bar at Óbal Hotel, in the heart of the old town, will host a live concert by the local band Top Secret. An unmissable experience with live music, signature cocktails, and the best views of Marbella’s historic centre under the starry sky.

Marbepop Festival 2025: local talent and youthful spirit

That same Saturday, 25 October, brings one of the most anticipated cultural events of the autumn: the 38th edition of the Marbepop Festival, held in Parque de la Represa.

Nine uninterrupted hours of live music with performances by Albany, Shego, Colectivo da Silva, Puya, Rxsado and Marco Lobato, combining national and local talent in a natural and central setting.

Organised by Marbella Town Hall, the event has a charitable focus — part of the proceeds will go to a local NGO — and a youthful spirit that brings together art, music, and sustainability.

Tea Time at La Fonda Heritage Hotel

In the heart of the old town, La Fonda Heritage Hotel offers a refined afternoon Tea Time throughout October. Its menu features artisanal pastries and premium teas, served in a historic setting with Andalusian charm. A perfect plan for a quiet afternoon full of culture, art, and gastronomy.
