Restaurant
Located at Plaza de la Iglesia de la Encarnación, nº5 in the coastal town of Marbella, one of the most beautiful and well preserved villages on the Costa del Sol. Buenaventura Restaurant gave new life to a 18th century townhouse with a beautiful garden at the charming Marbella Old Town, close to 10th Century Arab Castle Towers.
Indoor Lounge is exquisitely decorated, with a pleasant and cosy atmosphere in three warm hues along with the original Cane and Indigo coloured beams. Ask for a table close to the Fire for Winter meals!
Outside Patio-Courtyard-Garden. Marbella climate allows Dinning al fresco most of the year, so our amazing courtyard is the most requested and highly frequented area. Flowers surround it… Jasmine, Bougainvillaea and the pleasant smell from the Night Dame, with the lulling sound of the fountain… a festival for the senses, underneath the starry sky.
