Muelle Uno

You might not picture a port as the ideal place for a relaxing stroll, let alone a buzzing hub of culture and cuisine. But in Málaga, Muelle Uno turns that idea on its head. Opened in 2011 on the site of an old dock, this bold urban project has transformed the waterfront into one of the city’s most popular hangouts. With its sleek modern design and open, sunlit layout, it blends contemporary elegance with a deep connection to the sea. Muelle Uno is far more than a marina, it’s a space made for everyday enjoyment, full of life and surprises. You’ll find trendy shops, restaurants to suit every craving and budget, open-air concerts, cultural events, activities for children and families, there is something for everyone to enjoy a full day by the water. Locals embraced it in no time, and you can find them here enjoying everything from a Sunday stroll to a dinner with views of the sunset. Spanish food lovers will feel right at home here too, with the dining scene offering fresh ingredients, Mediterranean flair, and vibrant, creative dishes. If you’re in the mood for adventure, boat tours leave straight from the dock, and you can even rent a kayak and paddle your way along the coastline. And because this is Málaga, where art is part of the soul of the city, Muelle Uno also hosts a branch of the iconic Centre Pompidou. Tucked beneath its eye-catching multicoloured cube, the museum brings modern and contemporary art to the waterfront with playful, thought-provoking exhibitions. It’s the perfect place to wrap up your visit to Muelle Uno, surrounded by sea breeze, culture, and just the right dose of Andalusian dolce vita.
