El Patio
El Patio holds a special place in our hearts, especially when it comes to planning a dreamy, romantic evening. Celebrating the essence of Andalusian culture at its finest, El Patio ensnares couples with its breathtaking tropical garden atmosphere. This is where dining in the open air achieves an unrivalled allure.
The restaurant's flagship offering, a vivid seafood paella, is a tribute to Spain's rich culinary heritage. Complementing it with a refreshing Spanish wine paves the way for an indelible gastronomic journey, igniting the passion ingrained in the region's culture. We believe El Patio, the newest jewel in Marbella Club's crown, to be its most enchanting, owing to its ethereal garden setting, imaginative decor, and a menu that encourages a slow, relaxed transition from lunch to dinner. It's one of those rare gems that you would simply prefer to linger in.
During our most recent visit to El Patio, we chose to dine in the evening. It was an exquisite time to immerse ourselves in the iconic courtyard! As the sun started to paint longer shadows over Marbella Club's gardens, the scent of jasmine began wafting through El Patio. The tables arranged around the fountain and on the terraces were lit by quaint lamps, while a generous sprinkle of twinkling lights hung from the vine canopies above.
Venturing inside, the dining room welcomed us with a warm glow. The walls were beautifully decorated with vintage photographs from the Marbella Club archives, and other design elements like handcrafted ceramics and an impressive fireplace caught our eye. El Patio, without a doubt, is an ideal spot for a romantic lunch or dinner soiree.
