Kala Kalua Playa Chiringuito — Attraction in Marbella

When we arrived, the table was still dirty and no one came to clean it or take our order. Every table around us received service while we continued to wait. After 15 minutes, I raised my hand to finally get someone’s attention. The waiter cleaned the table but did not set it properly for dinner, and even then he chose to serve another table that arrived ten minutes after us before returning to help us. When he asked for our drink order, which was just a coffee and an iced tea, he had to ask twice and still managed to bring the wrong drinks. We waited again for the correct order. After receiving the menus, we sat for another thirty minutes with no one checking on us, no one setting the table, and no one taking our food order. By that point, we had been sitting for 45 minutes without proper service. We eventually decided to leave, but we could not even get anyone’s attention to pay for the two drinks. We used to come here about twice a month, but the service has declined each time. After this experience, we will not return, and I would no longer recommend this...

Kala Kalua Playa Chiringuito in Marbella is an absolute gem on the Spanish coastline, seamlessly blending vibrant local flavour with beachside relaxation. This spot has won over the locals, and it's no wonder why – from the moment you arrive, you feel like part of the family. The service is second to none: warm, attentive, and genuine.

What truly sets Kala Kalua apart is the food. Every dish feels like a celebration of fresh, quality ingredients. The seafood is impeccable, with everything from grilled prawns to octopus tasting as though it came straight from the sea that morning. The salads are crisp, the meats are tender, and even the simplest dishes are executed with such care that they become memorable.

Add in the lively, welcoming atmosphere and the stunning beachfront view, and it’s easy to see why this chiringuito has captured the hearts of both locals and travelers alike. Kala Kalua Playa Chiringuito isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an experience that lingers long after...

Beach side dining with plenty of shaded areas. A wide selection on the menu and generally good value for freshly cooked dishes. There are six or more staff to serve you a cool 🍺 or 🍷 some are well versed in various languages. Please Note that it can be very busy because of its location and best to book but if you don't get a table there are a further six restaurants within a few steps but they may not have such colourful tables to enjoy your meal and unless you choose the correct one you may have to deal with passing 🚲 or barking 🐕 which can ruin your experience. Kala Kalua is beach ⛱️ side thus avoiding this ! We will be back soon Thanks KK and keep on...
