(Temporarily closed for refurbishment) As an antidote to the frenzy of summer in Marbella, head to El Lago, in the clubhouse of the Greenlife Golf complex, one of the Costa del Sol’s legendary fine-dining restaurants. Here, this haven of peace and tranquillity (sensations enhanced by the harmony of the surroundings and views of a large lake, especially from the stunning summer terrace) provides the ideal backdrop for the perfect meal. In the kitchen, the focus is on an extensive single à la carte menu that aims to perpetuate El Lago’s cuisine through its focus on contemporary and seasonal Andalucian recipes that makes full use of zero-mile or locally sourced ingredients. Well worth a visit!
