Stylish bars are hard to find in Fuengirola, so when I discovered Panda Bar I was pretty excited.
This relatively new bar in the old town of Fuengirola stands out from the rest with beautifully designed courtyard lined by palm trees, stylish furniture and very friendly service.
Upon entering the courtyard you are transported to what feels like a local club somewhere in Bali, although in much smaller size. The surroundings feel very natural and welcoming, with plenty of seating and privacy for a relatively small space.
You enter through a small room inside, with the bar on your right and few seating options on the left side. The courtyard with lots of natural light is a nice contrast to the dark indoor area, which feels more cozy and intimate.
I ventured in on one of our date nights with my husband, to give this place a spin. I have to say I wasn’t dissapointed.
The coctkails are well prized and tasted as good as they were beautifully presented. As far as I know they don’t have any eating options, so this place is a good first stop before you head to the dinner somewhere in town, or for after dinner drinks.
I would have taken more photos but the place started filling up quickly and I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s evening by running around like a paparazzi.
Hopefully the few snaps below will give you a good taste of the place and ignite your interest to discover it on your own!
If you go, please do let me know how you liked it and what cocktail was your favourite!

Southern Spain Travel Planning Guide
Is it safe to drive in Spain?
YES! The roads in Southern Spain are generally in very good condition, with modern highways connecting the biggest cities. To rent a car, I highly recommend Discover Cars, which will get you the best deals on your car rental for your trip.
WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO DRIVE?
PUBLIC TRANSPORT — Southern Spain has a well-established and modern network of trains and buses. To get the cheapest bus or train tickets, take a look at Omio to find the timetables and prices.
DAY TRIPS — If you don’t like the hassle of using public transport, local travel companies offer many day trip options from almost all the destinations in Southern Spain. You can check them out here.
WHERE SHOULD I BOOK MY ACCOMMODATION?
BOOKING.COM — I have been using booking.com for all my trips in Spain and abroad, and have never had any negative experiences. Their reviews are very accurate and you get the best deals even on apartments, not just hotels.
ARE THERE LUGGAGE STORE OPTIONS IN THE CITIES?
YES — If you would like to leave your luggage behind to explore the city on your last day, before heading to the airport, you can use Radical Storage service, which lets you book luggage storage options in almost all the destinations in Southern Spain.
DO I NEED TO BUY A LOCAL SIM CARD FOR THIS TRIP?
YES – You can, of course, use your own card if you have roaming data available. If you want to avoid surprising extra charges from your operator, you can use a service like Airalo, where you can buy digital packs for e-sim cards, avoiding the hassle of sourcing local physical sim cards and extra roaming charges anywhere you go.
