Hotels and restaurants in Marbella and its surrounding area are finalizing their Valentine's Day proposals, an event that gains increasing importance each year in the local service sector. Among the offerings for Valentine's Day, there are dinners or packages that include gastronomy, hotel stays, or beauty and wellness proposals in exclusive settings.
Anantara Villa Padierna Hotel offers couples staying on February 13 and 14 a luxury room for 1,565 euros, which includes a buffet breakfast for two; a drink at one of its bars, access to the spa, and a 50-minute massage. It also proposes a menu with starters such as Gillardeau oysters and green apple and lime granita or warm brioche with Beluga caviar; main dishes include free-range egg at 63 degrees with potato parmentier or roasted turbot loin with its collagen pilpil. The dessert is a 70 percent cocoa velouté with strawberry foam and a touch of pink pepper.
The alternative, inspired by Japanese cuisine, features a selection of nigiris and dishes like toro caviar tartar or gratinated real crab. Diners can complete the menu, paying an additional fee of up to 120 euros, with champagne or red and white wines.
Óbal Hotel, located in the old town of Marbella, offers, for 220 euros per couple from February 13 to 15, a romantic dinner, accommodation in a Premium double room, or a buffet breakfast. The menu includes grilled sea bass over low-temperature leeks and light seafood bisque with crispy potato; or beef tenderloin over boletus risotto, Au Ju, and pine nut crumble.
Meanwhile, Gran Marbella Hotel offers a package available until February 16, which includes accommodation with breakfast, pink cava, and a special house dessert in the room, a signature cocktail, and a hundred-euro credit to use in the hotel's beauty space or its dining areas.
Kimpton Los Monteros Hotel proposes a tasting menu for 160 euros for two people, prepared with local products.
Local dining also features its gastronomic offers, some of them with international inspiration, for Valentine's Day. Casanis Bistrot offers Mediterranean cuisine with a French twist, featuring dishes like filet mignon with puree or glacé soufflé with raspberries; while Florentine restaurant, with its Italian style, offers a menu highlighted by its Amore di Valentino dessert, a vanilla panna cotta with strawberries.
Cascada Restaurant offers a special six-hand menu crafted by chefs Jérémie Falissard, Jacques, and Mathieu Lagarde.
