L’Opera Royal in Marbella celebrated the beginning of its summer 2026 season last Saturday, June 6. Owners combined this launch with celebrations for the first anniversary of the restaurant opening through an invite-only event at their boutique restaurant devoted to its location overlooking Playa Bajadilla next to Marbella’s fishing harbour in the La Bajadilla district.
Community formed the core of proceedings despite the private guest list. Patrons of all ages who had already built strong relationships with the venue during the previous year joined business partners and local Marbella business leaders.
Rossy de Palma and live music elevate the occasion.
Globally famed Spanish actress Rossy de Palma, recognised as an Almodovar muse, attended to support the success of a leading Costa del Sol venue this year.
Luna Lionne, singer, author and daughter of Rossy de Palma, participated as a friend to Sebastian and Maria, lending her divine, soulful singing voice. Jazz numbers started the music before a funky DJ continued the lively sounds late into the night.
Passion and artistic flair shaped the cuisine that came next with youthful nods to the coastal surroundings. Fresh healthy tastes satisfy modern demands free from typical stereotypes.
Dedicated team creates second home feel
Maria, cocktail artist.
Sebastian took charge in the kitchen. Maria shook her finest cocktail creations. Business partner José Antonio welcomed guests at the front of house like family members.
Owners treat L’Opera Royal as their house with diners as honoured guests rather than ordinary customers. This method sets the restaurant apart from others in town. An atmosphere of a second home develops where regular visitors return as friends who feel completely at ease.
Cool atmosphere and inclusive approach define summer ahead.
Visitors to l’Opéra Royal this summer can expect a cool relaxed setting. Everyone receives a welcome within affordable price ranges. Service arrives with passion like that from an old trusted friend. People can pop in for coffee, an inventive cocktail or a surprisingly delicious meal any time they choose. Just drop in, or book at loperaroyal.com
