Local tip
A reservation request can include a preference for one of the outdoor terraces, subject to availability.

Trocadero Playa is a beachfront restaurant and beach club at Playa de Santa Petronila in Marbella. The setting combines the open feel of the Costa del Sol with a carefully designed interior of timber, greenery and cultural influences. Several terrace areas create different places for dining and relaxing beside the sea, while the overall style brings together restaurant service, beach-club character and a social atmosphere.

The kitchen follows a Mediterranean, product-focused approach with international touches. Rice dishes, fish and meat form part of the broader offering, alongside reworked traditional recipes, Asian-inspired ideas and creations connected to the local area. The menu is suited to diners looking for a full meal by the coast, with a broad choice rather than a single specialist style.

Cocktails have a prominent role at Trocadero Playa. The drinks programme focuses on creative preparations and a varied cocktail selection, making the venue suitable for a drink as well as a meal. The beach club format also includes DJ sessions and a rooftop bar, adding a livelier dimension at selected times without changing its focus on food and seaside dining.

The restaurant works for relaxed daytime meals, drinks by the water and social occasions. Its terraces are particularly relevant for guests who want an outdoor table, while the beach setting gives the venue a natural connection with Marbella’s coastline. Parking is also listed among the available facilities, which can be useful for visitors arriving by car.

Private events and group occasions form part of the venue’s offering, with the setting lending itself to organised gatherings as well as individual bookings. For visitors travelling from Gibraltar, Trocadero Playa provides a Marbella option that combines Mediterranean cooking, cocktails and a beach-club environment in one location. The venue suits couples, groups and diners who value a coastal setting with a polished architectural style and an international influence in the food and drinks.
