Mesas VIP y Ocio Nocturno en Marbella

A star held every year since 2016. Chef Mauricio Giovanini cooks Andalusian produce and fish landed off the Marbella coast, drawing on European and Latin American technique.

David Olivas's modern reading of Andalusian cooking — technique and precision with room for surprise. Fabián Villar's cellar runs deliberately outside the commercial mainstream, with a focus on Andalusian labels, alongside a spirits trolley and a cheese trolley.

Inside the Nobu Hotel. The black cod is why people book, and why the room is full through August.

A relaxed seaside room built for long lunches, sunset drinks and dinners by the water. The menu is led by the sea: choose your fish or shellfish straight from the display and have it cooked the way you want it. Homemade pasta, pizza and seasonal plates alongside, from sunny afternoons on the beach through to evenings on the terrace.

Sharing plates and long lunches that turn into long afternoons.

Contemporary Greek, with mezze scaled for a table rather than a plate.

Casanis Group's contemporary French brasserie, with rooms in Marbella, Madrid and Doha. Haute cuisine set against art, design and music rather than white-tablecloth formality.

Asian eatery and bar, built for a late dinner rather than an early one.

From the Frantzén group, opened in 2025. Theatrical rooms and a dining room that fills early in season.

Laguna Beach, between Marbella and Estepona. A beachfront infinity pool, Balinese beds, two bars — one of them on a private island — resident DJs, and live percussion on Saturdays.

The Dolce & Gabbana beach club, reimagined in their own design language, with the kitchen led by Michelin-starred Dani García. Mediterranean and Italian cooking, and a D&G boutique on site.

Newly opened from the Brasserie Astoria team. Worth booking while it is still gettable.

The original Marbella beach club. Beds go early at weekends, and August walk-ins rarely work.

Marbella's Sunday sunset ritual. Mediterranean lunch on the sand that runs into international DJ sets as the light goes.

A pool club rather than a beach club — daybeds around the water, and an afternoon that builds rather than winds down.

Casanis Group's dinner-show room, where the performance runs through the evening rather than after it. One of the harder rooms on the coast to walk into in summer.

Built around dining, drinking and dancing in a room that stays genuinely private. A crowd of regulars rather than strangers.

Dinner first, then the room turns properly — tables cleared, lights down, and a floor that runs late. One of the few places in Marbella where you never have to move on.

Outdoor dining under the trees, indoor clubbing when the plates go. Two halves of a night in one address.

Boiler-room inspired: no backstage, no raised booth, the DJ set in the middle of the room with the floor around them. Very high end, and closer than any other room on the coast gets.
