The restaurant
On the lake since 2000.
El Lago sits in the clubhouse at Greenlife Golf, in Elviria Hills, overlooking a private lake and the course beyond. For more than twenty-five years it has been one of Marbella's reference restaurants.
Renovated in early 2025, the dining room is calmer and lighter: natural wood, neutral tones and linen. The cooking follows the same principle, with seasonal Andalusian recipes built on local, zero-kilometre produce and a short list of luxuries done well.
- 2000El Lago opens beside the lake at Greenlife Golf, Elviria.
- 2005The kitchen is awarded a Michelin star.
- 2025Full renovation and reopening, with chef Milos Zdravkovic leading the kitchen.

The lake, the fountain and the course.
