The five-star hotel El Fuerte Marbella has opened a new restaurant on its seventh floor, Kena by Akiro, which fuses author nikkei cuisine with creative cocktails and panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
The five-star hotel El Fuerte Marbella has opened a new gastronomic space on its seventh floor. This is Kena by Akiro, a restaurant that combines nikkei cuisine with a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and the historic centre of the city. The establishment is available to both guests and the local public.
The culinary proposal bears the mark of chef Luis Arévalo, considered a pioneer of nikkei cuisine in Europe. Of Peruvian origin, Arévalo has developed a career in reference restaurants of this specialty. His cuisine fuses Japanese technical precision with the intensity of Peruvian flavours.
The menu at Kena by Akiro includes nigiris, tiraditos, ceviches, makis, fish, and meats, with a focus designed for sharing. Quality products and creativity are the cornerstones of each dish. The offer is complemented by a selection of signature cocktails, champagnes, and wines that accompany the dining experience as the sun sets over the sea.
The restaurant presents itself as a meeting point where gastronomy, music, design, and cocktails engage with the landscape. From sunset to night, every detail is conceived to offer a moment of disconnection by the sea. The terrace, open to the horizon, makes the location an essential element of the experience.
Kena by Akiro is part of the gastronomic offering of El Fuerte Marbella, a five-star hotel located on the beachfront. With this opening, the establishment expands its proposal to attract both tourists and residents of the Costa del Sol. The space aims to position itself as a destination in its own right, beyond the traditional concept of a hotel restaurant.
Chef Luis Arévalo has explained that each creation seeks a balance between Japanese delicacy and Peruvian freshness. Nikkei cuisine, which originated from Japanese immigration to Peru, has consolidated in recent years as one of the most valued gastronomic trends internationally. In Marbella, this proposal finds a natural setting thanks to the Mediterranean light and sea breeze.
The hours of Kena by Akiro extend from sunset to night, with options for dinner and drinks. The restaurant is already operational and accepts reservations for both meals and private events. The opening reinforces Marbella's leisure offerings, which in recent months has seen an increase in rooftops and gastronomic spaces with views.
For the residents of Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Kena by Akiro provides an alternative for enjoying a special dinner or a drink at the end of the day without needing to stay at the hotel. The terrace, with views of the sea and the old town, adds to the city's attractions as a place to watch the sunset.
The hotel El Fuerte Marbella, dating back to 1957, has witnessed the city's tourist transformation. With this new opening, the establishment updates its offering to adapt to current trends in author cuisine and creative cocktails. Kena by Akiro presents itself as a space that invites you to savour Marbella at leisure, from the heights.
