Right on the seafront with spectacular views of the Mediterranean, Candelita by Candela Marbella was created as a place where Marbella’s cuisine, atmosphere and lifestyle come together. From our terrace, guests can enjoy the charm of the promenade while savouring authentic cuisine, designed to be shared and enjoyed by the sea.

At the helm of the project is Diego Toledo, manager of Candela Marbella and Candelita, a professional with extensive experience in the hospitality industry on the Costa del Sol. In the kitchen, our team, with many years of experience in Marbella, brings its knowledge, passion and expertise to every dish.

The wine list completes the experience: a carefully selected range that includes unique wines from small local producers, surprising labels from young winemakers and essential classics. We will be delighted to advise you if you wish.

Candelita is part of bdp, an international group with legal, tax and auditing consultancy offices, as well as business interests in various sectors. Its founder, Dr Michael Bormann, a tax advisor and entrepreneur, dreamed during his youth — when he ran a sailing school in Hamburg — of creating restaurants with character, places with soul that you always want to return to. Today, you are in one of them.

Our Paellas

The paellas prepared by Rafael Ortiz, our chef, using carefully selected ingredients and techniques perfected over many years, have become one of the hallmarks of our establishment and, for many of our customers, are simply unbeatable.

Come for the view … stay for the food. Absolutely beautiful view of the beach. The paella took a while, but they made it to order so it was understandable. 30-35 minutes waiting for the entree. Passed by quickly with the beach and the bread. They don’t have smaller portions, so if you are alone, be prepared to take some home.

Lovely atmosphere and nice setting on the beachfront. We also enjoyed the playlist that accompanied our meal. The portions were generous and super-filling - the hot, fresh bread rolls were particularly enjoyable. We ordered the meaty paella. It Last thing to add is that the service was friendly. Thank you.

We ordered the grilled octopus and it was simply outstanding – perfectly tender with a delicious smoky flavor. For dessert, we had the cheesecake, which was creamy, rich, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed, ideal for a slow, indulgent evening. Highly recommended if you’re in Marbella and looking for quality seafood and great vibes!

Delicious paella! 🥘 We also enjoyed the pimientos de padrón. Made-to-order in an open kitchen. Very friendly staff. The music was a little loud and pop-py for us but otherwise we were very happy. Great view of the sea and promenade. No alternative milk, otherwise we would have stayed for a coffee.
