And, what is the best time to celebrate my wedding on the beach in Malaga?
If you already have a clear idea of the venue for your wedding, an important aspect is to think about the date on which you want to celebrate your wedding on the beach in Malaga.
We advise you to avoid the months of July and August, since otherwise, your big day will be shared with vacationers and curious onlookers who will probably be in the area, hindering the ceremony or even showing up in your photos.
The best, from our experience: the months of May, June, September, and October, since not only will there not be as many tourists, but the weather is quite good. Likewise, the weather varies depending on the date, and although the climate is somewhat unpredictable, the area and its characteristics must be taken into account.
What is the best dress code for a beach wedding in Malaga?
This is one of the big questions that guests ask themselves when they receive an invitation to a beach wedding: Do I have to wear an Ibiza-style outfit? And the same question also arises for the bride and groom.
In this case, we usually advise you to do what you really feel like, what makes you feel good, since there are no written rules. But it is advisable to decide beforehand if there is a dress code, since many brides believe that, although their wedding is on the beach, guests should not wear an Ibiza-style outfit to avoid wearing white.
If, even though it is a beach wedding, it is your wedding. Therefore, it is best for you to decide the style of your wedding on the beach in Malaga yourselves.

Can I rent a private beach for my beach wedding in Malaga?
Unlike a public beach, a private beach offers greater privacy and allows you to celebrate your wedding away from prying eyes. This type of space will allow you to plan a cocktail or dinner, which will not be possible on public beaches where only a symbolic ceremony can be organized.
So… Can I rent a private beach for my beach wedding in Malaga? Well, for example, in Spain there are no private beaches. This is because the Coastal Law in our country states that coasts are for public use, but there are private beaches in countries like Mexico and some areas of the Caribbean.
That’s why our advice for getting married on the beach in Spain is to do it in one of the spectacular spaces we have, near the sea, with impressive views, and breathing in the sea breeze and the smell of salt.
