About El Ancla
Paella and branzino carry the menu, tuna tartare opens it, and a hammock terrace above the sand is where most of it is eaten. This is a Marbella seafront seafood restaurant with the Andalusian repertoire done properly — one in the afternoon until eleven, closed Mondays, valet parking at the door. Brunch and a private dining room extend the format. Smart elegant, top price band. The crowd is couples and families with socialites through the season: British and Western European visitors alongside Marbella regulars who treat it as a fixture. A 4.3 average across nearly 1,900 reviews is a large and steady sample. Open year-round, which on the Costa del Sol matters more than it does further east.
