What’s new in Marbella: the latest openings to know
La Petite Maison | Restaurant
French Riviera dining on the Golden Mile
Set within the gardens of Puente Romano, La Petite Maison brings its signature French Mediterranean style to Marbella, centred around the cuisine of Nice and the Côte d’Azur. The menu is built on fresh, high-quality ingredients, with a focus on light, dishes designed for sharing, from vibrant starters to grilled meats and fish.
The setting follows the brand’s well-known aesthetic, bright, elegant and relaxed, with a strong indoor-outdoor feel that suits Marbella’s climate. It’s a natural addition to Puente Romano’s dining scene, offering something refined but easy, and very much in line with how people like to eat here.
This Spanish restaurant with celebrity roots will be opening soon
TATEL is set to open in Marbella within the historic Villa Tiberio on the Golden Mile, bringing with it a well-established international reputation in haute cuisine. Originally launched in 2014, TATEL is owned by a partnership that includes Rafa Nadal and Pau Gasol, along with singer Enrique Iglesias and football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Part of Mabel Hospitality, the star-studded troop have brought their Spanish cuisine to the global stage, with restaurants in major locations including Dubai, Riyadh, Mexico, Ibiza, Madrid and Beverly Hills.
The experience is designed to evolve throughout the day, operating as a more relaxed pool and beach-style setting during daylight hours before transitioning into a full restaurant and evening venue.
A calmer, more considered take on beachfront dining
Sabine Beach is built around a slower pace, moving seamlessly between restaurant, bar and beach beds. The setting is simple and well judged, with open views, natural light and a close connection to the sea.
The menu focuses on clean Mediterranean dishes, with fresh fish and seafood at its core, suited to long lunches and easy evenings. A subtle soundtrack from live DJs adds to the atmosphere without taking over, creating a space that feels relaxed, social and easy to stay in.
Having first opened in 1969, the Don Carlos Hotel quickly became one of Marbella’s defining establishments, set within expansive beachfront grounds in Elviria. For decades, it was a reference point for international visitors, known for its scale, gardens and long-standing presence on the coast.
Now reopened after closing in 2022 for an extensive redevelopment costing more than €43m, the hotel has been repositioned with a renewed focus on design, service and overall experience. The update brings it in line with today’s expectations, while retaining the setting that made it so well known in the first place.
Its return also adds weight to Marbella East, where investment in hotels and infrastructure has been steadily building. More than just a refurbishment, it marks the revival of one of Marbella’s long-standing names, now ready for a new generation of visitors.
Located just along the coast in Estepona, Nube brings a new face and fresh approach to the beach club scene. The space is built around natural textures, soft tones and open, airy layouts that create a calm, easy atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The club includes a Mediterranean restaurant, beach club, pool and beach lounging areas, a terrace, karaoke lounge and night club.
The concept leans into a full-day experience, with each area having its own vibe. Mornings and early afternoons are relaxed, with sunbeds, sea views and a menu centred on fresh seafood, grilled dishes and lighter plates. As the day moves on, the energy lifts, with music, cocktails and a more social feel into the evening.
