Marbella is a Mediterranean city open to the world, whose identity has been shaped over the centuries by the meeting of cultures. Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, and Christians all left their mark on a heritage that reflects its history and defines its cosmopolitan, diverse, and welcoming character today.

Nestled between the Mediterranean and Sierra Blanca, with nearly 28 kilometers of coastline, beaches, and the iconic La Concha peak, Marbella enjoys an ideal climate, boasting an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and around 320 days of sunshine. Its rich history can be explored in landmarks such as the Early Christian Basilica of Vega del Mar, the Roman Villa of Río Verde, Las Bóvedas Roman Baths, the Alcazaba fortress, and the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación.

Added to this legacy is a renowned tourism and leisure offering, featuring exceptional hotel capacity, four marinas, 14 golf courses, and an extensive selection of dining, culture, wellness, sports, and nature. Its cuisine, which blends tradition, quality ingredients, and creativity, also boasts four Michelin-starred restaurants.

In this setting, Marbella hosts ChefsForChildren, an initiative that brings together culinary excellence and social commitment, transforming the kitchen into a gathering place to promote inclusion, solidarity, and community engagement. As host city, Marbella warmly and enthusiastically opens its doors, staying true to its dedication to connecting people, cultures, and opportunities.
