Weed Club Benalmádena: Cannabis Social Clubs Guide
A weed club in Benalmádena is a private cannabis social club, and you have to be a member before you walk in. One club is listed on Canna-Maps, Budhouse 420 Cannabis Social Club, and the CBD shop Dr. Smoke is in town too. This guide covers how joining works, how to get there from Málaga airport and what to check before you go.
Weed clubs in Benalmádena
- Budhouse 420 Cannabis Social Club: a private club in Benalmádena near the marina, with a pool table and games consoles. Open every day from 12:00 to 02:00, for members aged 18 and over.
- Dr. Smoke CBD Shop: a CBD shop, not a club. Open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 20:30 and Saturday from 11:00 to 20:30, closed on Sunday.
Budhouse 420 operates as an Asociación Cannábica, a members-only association, and its exact address is shared once your Green-Key pass is confirmed. Dr. Smoke is a shop, not a club, and is listed on Canna-Maps as a CBD store.
How to join a Benalmádena weed club
Clubs here do not take walk-ins, whether the visitor is a tourist or a long-term resident. Joining takes three steps with a Green-Key pass:
- Get a pass. A Green-Key pass is €20 and lasts a year. You register once with your date of birth and a photo, and you get a member number and QR code.
- Request your visit. Open the club’s page, choose a day and say how many are coming. We tell the club you are on your way.
- Show your pass at the door. You sign the club’s rules on your first visit, and the exact address unlocks once your pass is confirmed.
One pass covers every partner club on Canna-Maps, in Spain’s other regions as well.
Can tourists join a cannabis club in Benalmádena?
Yes, if you are an adult and carry valid ID, which means a passport, a national ID card or an NIE. Some clubs set the minimum age at 21, so check the club page. Benalmádena is a big holiday town, but that makes no difference to the rules: a club in a resort is still a private club.
Is there a weed dispensary in Benalmádena?
No. Spanish law tolerates cannabis only inside private members’ associations, so there are no walk-in dispensaries. CBD shops exist, and they are a different thing from a club. The membership route above is the legal way in.
Getting to Benalmádena
Benalmádena is one of the easiest Costa del Sol towns to reach without a car. It sits between Torremolinos and Fuengirola on the Cercanías Málaga C1 line, which also serves Málaga airport, so you can arrive by train and take a short taxi for the last stretch.
Club etiquette
Treat a club as the private space it is. Ask before you photograph anything, and leave other members out of every shot. Whatever you are given inside stays with you, and consumption stays indoors, because a club that attracts attention on the street is the one that gets closed. Bring a little cash as a backup, since card acceptance differs from club to club.
Local rules and closures
Policing of cannabis clubs differs from one Spanish town to the next, and a club can close at short notice. Each club page on Canna-Maps shows its current details, so check it before you travel. The legal background is in our guide to cannabis law in Spain.
Best time to visit
Benalmádena is busiest from June to September. Spring and autumn give you the same mild weather with fewer people, and a quieter club suits a first visit.
