Real Club Mediterraneo de Malaga: The Oldest Yacht Club in Spain

Founded in 1873, the Real Club Mediterraneo is the oldest yacht club in Spain and one of the most iconic and prestigious on the Mediterranean. Its elegant clubhouse occupies a privileged position in Malaga’s harbour, right beside La Malagueta beach. Here, maritime tradition, high-level watersports and vibrant social life come together perfectly.

In addition to its exclusive private marina, the club offers modern and comprehensive facilities that make it a favourite destination for members and visitors alike. Its central location next to Muelle Uno, very close to the cruise terminal and Malaga’s historic centre, makes it especially appealing for those who want to enjoy the sea without leaving the city.

Whether for its century-old history, sporting achievements or the elegant atmosphere that pervades its premises, the Real Club Mediterraneo is far more than just a harbour — it is part of Malaga’s very identity.
