Culinary delights: Fine dining at its best

As beloved by in-the-know locals as our seasoned guests, spend time outside all year round in this magical sanctuary.  Come for a coffee while you read the paper, meet for lunch, aperitifs, or after-hours cocktails and Galician oysters and dine among the jasmine scented vines. 

Our sun-splashed Beach Club joyful look takes its inspiration from the historical ‘palapa’ roof and reminiscent of 1950’s Acapulco, once the playground for the world’s elite - and our Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe. The palette of the Beach Club is awash with hues of minty, tropical greens and vibrant corals with reimagined al fresco hangout  areas for guests in the lounge, bar and pool to while away the day.

MC Beach takes a cue from Malaga’s traditional chiringuitos, laid-back fish and seafood restaurants right on the beach. Brushed in blues and whites, it’s where tables buzz with generations of locals for sangria-fuelled lunches over sardinas al espeto. The perfect seaside siesta to sunset-watching address.

Our master of the grill has followed in the footsteps of his father, Roque, to offer time-tested recipes brought to life over a crackling fire. Legendary silver service, the twinkle of the decades-old candles on the outdoor terrace, and the stir of the soaring pines complement the finest, heart-warming cuisine.

For those in the know, this hidden gem is tucked away in the heart of the hotel where guests can enjoy an intimate pool setting and an easygoing and healthy lunch based on garden-inspired Andalusian fare created by our Wellness Chef Andrés Ruiz. The perfect daytime spot for thumbing a book or staying snug on a windy day.

To the tinkle of the piano and sounds of the nightly live music, guests are invited to kick off their evening or while the night away in the heady jasmine-scented orange grove of the eponymous Summer Bar, host to many an illustrious guest throughout the years and many a fable to tell.

Celebrate the Marbella Club’s enduring sociable spirit with champagne or a cocktail in our elegant homage to our cherished Count. Pause for tapas, a game of backgammon, and a fireside nightcap over live music in this timeless Bohemian lounge.

A show-and-tell-tribute to the wines on our menu, La Bodega tells the stories of both family-owned local wineries and rare, singular references alike. Guests can retreat to our private dining room for tastings or store their favourite vintages in the cherrywood library, complete with a bijou candlelit patio.
