Marmarela

Marmarela is the big waterfront club on the Muelle de Levante in Alicante's port, and it's where you go when you want a proper night out with DJs, live acts and a crowd. It also runs a restaurant, so you can make a whole evening of it without moving. The venue bills itself as one of the world's top 50 clubs and runs a full calendar of club nights and concerts, with dance and electronic music the main thread. VIP tables are available if you're celebrating, and they're booked through the club directly. It's right on the marina, so the setting by the water is a big part of the appeal on a warm night. Reviews are more mixed than for smaller bars, which is fairly normal for a big club, so go with the right expectations: busy, loud and late. Check the events calendar before heading down, as the big nights and concerts are ticketed and the vibe changes a lot from one night to the next.
