The €18 Ice Cream in Puerto Banús

Travel Diary · Costa del Sol

Four ice creams, €72. Yes, you read that right. Our sweet treat in Puerto Banús turned into one of the most expensive (and memorable!) family snacks we’ve ever had.

Quick tip: Puerto Banús is known for luxury yachts and designer shops—so expect the ice cream to come with a luxury price tag too.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Our Family Ice Cream Story

We were strolling along the marina, admiring the yachts and shiny cars, when the kids spotted an ice cream stand. “Just one each,” we thought. Easy. Until we saw the bill: €18 per cone. Four cones = €72.

The kids didn’t care—they were thrilled, smiling with chocolate all over their faces. We parents laughed (a bit nervously) and promised ourselves this would be the only time. It’s one of those travel stories you’ll laugh about forever, even if your wallet cries.

Would we do it again? Probably not. Are we glad we did it once? Yes—because now we have a family legend: “Remember the €72 ice creams?”

Tips if you want ice cream in Puerto Banús

  • Expect high prices: Puerto Banús is a luxury hotspot. Even snacks are premium.
  • Walk a little further: Just 5–10 minutes away from the marina, prices drop dramatically.
  • Set expectations with kids: Sometimes the treat is the view + atmosphere, not just the cone.
  • Splurge once: If your budget allows, buy one round—it might become your own funny family story too.

Final scoop

Puerto Banús may not be the cheapest spot for families, but it’s full of unforgettable moments. Our €72 ice cream is proof that sometimes the most expensive treat is also the sweetest memory.
