CANDELITA MARBELLA
Our Story
In our restaurant, we pay tribute to the flavors of Spain and the Mediterranean, with dishes made from fresh, seasonal and local products.
Welcome to
Candelita Marbella
Located on the beachfront with privileged views of the Mediterranean, Candelita by Candela Marbella is a place where gastronomy, atmosphere and the Marbella lifestyle come together. From our terrace, guests can enjoy the charm of Marbella’s seafront promenade while savouring authentic cuisine designed to be shared and enjoyed by the sea.
At Candelita, every visit is an invitation to enjoy the Mediterranean with all your senses: excellent cuisine, sea views and the unique atmosphere of Marbella.
Our Manager and Our Chef
Diego Toledo and Rafael Ortiz
At the head of the project is Diego Toledo, manager of Candela Marbella and Candelita, a professional with many years of experience in the hospitality industry on the Costa del Sol. In the kitchen, Rafael Ortiz, a chef with extensive experience in Marbella, brings his knowledge, passion and culinary technique to every dish.
Both are highly experienced professionals deeply connected to Marbella and the Costa del Sol, with many years working in the local hospitality scene and a strong understanding of Mediterranean cuisine and the international clientele that defines the area.
The paellas by Rafael Ortiz, prepared with carefully selected ingredients and a technique perfected over many years, have already become one of the restaurant’s signature specialities and, for many of our guests, simply unbeatable.
