Kaleido Puerto Marina

We stopped by Kaleido in the Puerto Marina area of Benalmádena for a drink. The space itself is very funky and visually interesting, and it’s connected to a Tex-Mex restaurant, which adds to the appeal.

However, the experience fell short on service. When we looked at the drink menu, we noticed the prices were significantly higher than other nearby establishments. We were approached by a waitress who asked, “Are you ready to order?” without a smile or any basic niceties, which immediately felt a bit unwelcoming.

We ordered a beer and a specialty cocktail called Sharp Dressed Man, priced at €11.50. The beer arrived first, followed a few minutes later by the cocktail—along with the bill and debit machine at the same time. This made us feel rushed, as if we were expected to pay and move on rather than enjoy the space.

After paying, we were never approached again to see if we’d like another drink, so we decided to leave and go elsewhere. It’s a shame, because the venue has a lot of potential, but friendlier service and a more relaxed approach would make a big difference.

Bar kaleido Puerto Marina

The iconic Nightclub first launched in the early 90s by Antonio Banderas and his brother,is a true landmark on the Costa del Sol.

​With different moods running throughout the venue from the industrial-themed covered terrace to the oasis of the open-air terrace, to the London Soho feel of the Second Bar.

​Start with breakfast, served until 1pm daily.​

For the rest of the day, you can pair your cocktail, beer, wine, sangria or mixed drinks with either dishes from our snack menu or order from out neighbouring restaurant Cantina Mexicana.

​Delicious, easy to eat snacks such as Quesadillas, Soft Tacos, Wings, Nachos, Fajitas, Burritos and interesting salads.

Had such a lovely afternoon at Kaleido enjoying cocktails with my mum and sister. Both the food and drinks were delicious and the staff friendly and attentive. We would 100% go back again if we visit the area.

Cool bar next to marina where you can sit watching the world go by while sipping your favorite tipple or eat freshly prepared food my favorite bar thus holiday.

Stayed at a nearby hotel over Christmas and visited this bar every day as the cocktails and the white wine (Jose Pariente which was recommended by one of the waiters) was lush. Pedro another waiter was so friendly, welcoming and funny. My partner and I would highly recommend visiting.
