Mayan Monkey Mijas — Restaurant in Mijas

Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory, Mijas

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience that combines fun, learning, and pure indulgence, the Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory in Mijas is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a chocolate enthusiast or simply looking for a unique activity, this place promises an engaging and delicious adventure for all ages. I wholeheartedly recommend it for families, couples, or even solo chocolate lovers.

Our Experience: We chose the Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory to celebrate my son's 11th birthday, and it turned out to be one of his best birthdays ever. His dream was to make "Dubai Chocolate," and thanks to the factory's innovative workshops, he got to bring that dream to life. We were honored to be the first participants in the "Date with Dubai" workshop, a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Led by Sara, whose warmth, humor, and attentiveness made the session extra special, the workshop was informative, hands-on, and engaging for both kids and adults. It wasn't just an activity—it was an adventure that allowed us to dive into the world of chocolate making while having tons of fun.

The Chocolate & Ingredients: The chocolate itself is phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and made with all-natural ingredients. One standout feature is their pistachio paste, made entirely from pistachios roasted and ground on-site. The use of high-quality, wholesome ingredients truly sets their creations apart.

Highlight Moments:

Walking through the small but enchanting factory, we felt like real-life Oompa-Loompas stepping through a magical doorway into the chocolate workshop.

My son and I each crafted our own Dubai Chocolate, selecting from an array of chocolate bases and decorating our creations however we liked.

While waiting for our chocolates to set, we got to make additional treats: dates stuffed with peanut butter and dipped in luscious chocolate, plus another personalized chocolate bar each.

We were amazed by the variety—over 50 ingredients to choose from—which allowed us to customize our chocolates in ways that felt both creative and personal.

A Lasting Impact: The workshop was so inspiring that my son declared he wants to become a chocolatier when he grows up—a testament to how engaging and memorable the experience was. He also can't wait to return and explore making different types of chocolates in the future.

Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory made our day truly magical and turned my son's dream into a reality. The combination of a fun, educational, and interactive workshop with the joy of creating and tasting your own delicious chocolates makes this a perfect outing. It's a sweet day to remember, and I can't recommend it enough!

Don't miss the chance to make your own Dubai chocolate...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Unforgettable experience – fun, delicious, and full of heart!”

Visiting Mayan Monkey Mijas was an absolute highlight of our trip to Andalusia! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and friendliness. The atmosphere is both cozy and vibrant, and you can feel the passion the team has for chocolate and creating memorable experiences.

We took part in one of the chocolate-making workshops, and it was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was clearly explained, super fun, and hands-on – perfect for both kids and adults. You get to choose your own ingredients, pour the chocolate yourself, and take home your custom-made creations (which, by the way, taste amazing 🍫!).

The staff were not only professional but also incredibly engaging and kind. They made everyone feel included and excited. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and – of course – ate a lot of chocolate!

If you’re anywhere near Mijas, do not miss this. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this is a unique experience that combines fun, creativity, and sweet indulgence. Highly recommended – we’d come back in...

After a long hike up the mountain, we finally arrived at Mijas. My friend recommended to get an ice cream cone from here.

When arriving at the place I was deciding about which flavors to get normally I would only get 2 scoops but I was exhausted and I felt like I deserved a bit more this time. When seeing the option “Grande” for €7.90, I was immediately sold. I was able to choose 4 flavors, I chose the flavors: Dark Choc, Toffee, Pistachio and Cheesecake. All the flavors tasted amazing.

My friend also mentioned that there was a factory inside where they would make the chocolates, I was greeted by the friendly Sara who worked in the factory. She gave a little tour around the factory.

They also have workshops available from €19.95 to €99.95 in which you can make your own chocolate and more!

I really recommend this to others, the store is much more than just an ice cream shop. They have a great price/quality ratio and I’d love to come back sometime. Don’t forget to eat your Ice cream with an amazing view a bit...
