Happy Valentine’s Day on the Costa del Sol
· 5 min. read
Marbella and the Costa del Sol celebrate Valentine’s Day in style. February 14th is par excellence the most romantic holiday of the year. Valentine’s Day on the Costa del Sol is a date full of colour, joy and fun. Florists work tirelessly preparing and sending bouquets. Shops are decorated with LOVE as a theme, especially gift shops and department stores. Roses, hearts, chocolates… and other loving details fill the shop windows. And, of course, restaurants prepare special menus to celebrate being in love.
We present you a series of ideas to be prepared for this Valentine’s Day on the Costa del Sol.
Flowers on Valentine’s Day on the Costa del Sol: a classic!
Flowers are a classic in love. Although there are many express services on the internet, it is much more personalised to order a bouquet of flowers from florists on the Costa del Sol. Of course, it is important not to forget to include a nice dedicated card with a nice message. Among the best florists on the coast we highlight HOLLAND FLOWERS MARBELLA. You can order any type of ornamentation from this shop, but among their specialities are the red roses placed in the shape of a heart for this significant day.
Other renowned establishments are: Anais Floristas, Grupo Berrocal or Cristaflor.
You can’t miss the chocolates on Valentine’s Day!
Although there are countries more famous for their chocolate, such as Belgium, Switzerland or Mexico, in Spain there are also good patisseries, as well as expert master chocolatiers. The Costa del Sol is a good example.
With more than thirty years in the business, the company GOYO is located in Marbella. They work with craftsmanship in the art of sweet and savoury. In fact, they also specialise in catering for all kinds of events. But in their cafeteria in the centre and, especially in their shop windows, you can always find a wide range of shapes and colours worked with chocolate. Their chocolates are delicious all year round, but even more so on Valentine’s Day.
If you want to go for original and chic, CHOCOFRUITS, also in Marbella, is a good option. They have options with balloons, with beautiful boxes and, of course, as the name suggests, tasty fruit fillings. Of course, total specialists in bonbon making are La Bomboniera in Calle Caridad in Marbella, PATHELIN in Malaga or the small chocolate roaster MAYCHOCO.

Romantic restaurants
Valentine’s Day menus on the Costa del Sol are plentiful, but you should always start by looking for a restaurant that is already good the rest of the year. We recommend visiting ERRE & URRECHU for any occasion, but if Valentine’s Day is a good excuse, why not. They are specialists in grilled meats and their menu offers a wide variety of chops, loins and entrecôte. But their menu is very extensive and also includes tartar, foie-grass, tripe, croquettes or fish and vegetables. Of course, you have to leave room for the desserts, which are also delicious.
For great food and panoramic views of Marbella, we recommend, without a doubt, MAGNA CAFE. If you want an experience with cocktails, live music and romantic views of the gardens, BALTAZAR BAR&GRILL at the Kempinski Hotel in Estepona is also very suitable at this time of year. In our blog you will also find other Michelin-starred restaurants that are a safe bet.
A romantic themed menu, mixed with exotic sushi, is the culinary proposal with food and wine pairing at the Anantara Villa Padierna Hotel. If you like a beautiful terrace, be sure to book at 1111Societé. You will be surprised by its mix of Mexican-Lebanese cuisine. MOMO has an intimate atmosphere and a very delicate menu; or, hidden in a small street in the historic part of Marbella, you will find a very small and cosy restaurant. It is perfect for a romantic Italian-style evening in a discreet and quiet place: STUZZIKINI. And if you’re looking for romance and a touch of flamenco, PAELLA’S Y MÁS is the place to go.
Places to dance
Finally, for a proposal with or without dinner included, you can’t miss the romantic-fun parties on the Costa del Sol. The OLIVIA VALERE discotheque and, on this occasion, its LOV party, is sure to be one of the most popular. Another top choice for dancing, with a relaxed atmosphere and live music, is LA SALA in Puerto Banús
Breakfasts with love
The option of a romantic brunch is also very original. The Costa del Sol offers very glamorous places like the CAPPUCCINO restaurant-cafeteria right on Marbella’s seafront promenade. Here, breakfast and lunch in front of the sea is a real spectacle. Also very trendy and ideal for instagramers are PAN & MERMELADA or RACHEL’S ECO LOVE. In both places there are very healthy and hearty options to fill your eyes, soul and stomach.
