KOI Marbella. Made in Asia

Pan-Asian · Golden Mile, Marbella

Japan, Thailand and China under one skylight. Sushi cut to order, curries built from scratch, and a waterfall running behind the bar.

Pan-Asian, reimagined

KOI sits on Marbella's Golden Mile, in a room rebuilt around a central skylight, with planting throughout and a waterfall you can hear from the counter. Japanese, Thai and Chinese cooking share one kitchen here, and one set of standards.

  • Two chefs, one menu

    Executive Chef Stan runs the kitchen with Neil Witney, a consulting chef who came up through Michelin kitchens. Sushi at one end of the menu, lamb rendang at the other, and both of them have to be happy with everything in between.

  • Finished at the table

    The wagyu uramaki is glazed with anticucho sauce at your table, and the beef is finished the same way. A few dishes earn that. The rest are better off arriving quietly.

  • Sake in the glass

    Our head barman built the list around sake-infused cocktails and Asian twists on the classics: drinks made to sit next to chilli and raw fish, not to fight them.

恋 is the character KOI signs itself with: the affection kind, not the fish. It is on the door, on the napkins and on the water bottles, and it is the shortest way we have found to say what the room is for.

The drinks list

Skylight, greenery, waterfall

The Golden Mile, behind a stone wall and a stand of pines. Inside: olive-wood tables, a lit bar under a painted ceiling, and enough greenery that the room still feels calm when every table is taken.
