1e Hulp Puerto Banús is the closest thing Marbella has to a real Amsterdam coffeeshop — because it is one, transplanted. The club is the Spanish outpost of a genuine Amsterdam coffeeshop brand, and it brings Dutch coffeeshop culture to the Puerto Banús marina along with a menu reputation strong enough to earn it one of the higher editorial ratings on this site.
The crucial difference from its Dutch parent is legal, not cultural. In Spain there are no walk-ins: 1e Hulp operates as a private members association under the same closed-circuit model as every other Costa del Sol club. You join first — via an invite platform or directly with the club — and only then do you get through the door. Once inside, the experience leans on what the Amsterdam brand does well: consistent quality and a menu members talk about.
Opening hours are generous at 10:00 to 02:00 daily, which covers everything from a morning coffee-style visit to a late marina evening. It suits visitors who already know coffeeshop culture and want a benchmark they recognise, and anyone in Puerto Banús who prioritises the menu over the interior design. Just do not expect Amsterdam rules — this is members-only Spain, and the club keeps it that way.
How to join 1e Hulp Puerto Banús
Joining 1e Hulp follows the standard Costa del Sol model, with two routes in:
- Register via an invite platform, or contact the club directly to apply for membership.
- Bring your passport or national ID to the club on your first visit.
- Complete registration at reception and pay the membership fee in cash.
- Receive your membership card — your access for the next 12 months.
The club is open daily from 10:00 to 02:00, so you have a wide window for that first visit. Remember this is not Amsterdam: there are no walk-in purchases, and consumption stays on the premises. Tourist onboarding on the Costa del Sol is usually same-day for clubs that accept visitors. Our step-by-step joining guide covers the process, fees and etiquette in full.

1e Hulp Puerto Banús — FAQ
Is 1e Hulp Puerto Banús like an Amsterdam coffeeshop?+
Culturally yes, legally no. It is the Spanish outpost of a real Amsterdam coffeeshop brand, but in Spain it must operate as a private members association. You cannot walk in and buy — you register as a member first. The menu reputation, though, travels well from the parent brand.
What are 1e Hulp's opening hours?+
Daily from 10:00 to 02:00. That is the standard generous window for Costa del Sol clubs, covering daytime visits through to late marina evenings.
How do I become a member as a tourist?+
Either through an invite platform or by contacting the club directly, then completing registration with your passport or ID at the club. Most visitor-friendly clubs in the area onboard the same day. The full process is in our joining guide.
Can I take anything back to my hotel?+
No. The tolerated Spanish club model requires consumption on the premises, and transporting cannabis in public space is an administrative offence with fines starting around 601 euros. Keep everything inside the club.
