    Mediterranean dining,
    redefined for your event

    MAREA brings refined Mediterranean walking bites to private events in Marbella, Puerto Banús and the Costa del Sol.

    Small, luxurious dishes served to share, no seating, no formality.

    Just great food, good drinks and the right atmosphere — at your villa or event venue.

    About Us

    The Face Behind MAREA

    Merlyn Frans spent years at the top of Dutch gastronomy, including at ’t Lansink — the Michelin-starred restaurant and boutique hotel in Hengelo.

    There she catered weddings, parties and celebrations for the high-end segment, where every detail had to be perfect — from the first bite to the final toast.

    With MAREA she brings that same refinement to the Costa del Sol: elegant Mediterranean food, personal attention and a relaxed atmosphere — at your villa or event venue.
