Lunch at the beach: one of our team’s favorite things to do in Marbella
If there is one thing our team loves most in Marbella, it is a long lunch by the beach. There is simply nothing better. Feet in the sand, a glass of wine in hand, and plate after plate of outstanding Mediterranean food arriving at the table. Whether it is a lunch for two, a spontaneous afternoon with friends, or a proper Sunday plan, this is what the Marbella lifestyle is all about.
With so many places to choose from, we have built up a list of personal favorites over the years. MC Beach never disappoints, with its incredible view, the sound of the sea, and what many on our team consider one of the best paellas in town. Then there is Barbillón, where the atmosphere is always relaxed, the spinach salad is a must, and everything seems to move at a slower, more enjoyable pace. And of course, no beach lunch roundup would be complete without Mistral Beach, a true Marbella icon where the cocktails are generous, the setting is effortlessly casual, and the crowd is always a lively mix of locals and visitors who know exactly why they are there.
