Paella at home in Marbella: types, portions and price

Paella at home in Marbella might be the most Spanish way to celebrate: one big pan, fire on the terrace and guests watching the rice cook. We prepare the paella live at your villa, on your terrace or in your garden, from the Golden Mile to Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús.

Which types do we cook? The classics: paella de marisco with prawns, mussels and calamari; paella mixta with seafood and chicken; paella de pollo with free-range chicken and vegetables; and a vegetarian paella with seasonal vegetables, artichoke and peppers. Each pan is one flavour — for larger groups we simply light several pans at once.

How much does everyone eat? We count on roughly 350 to 400 grams of rice dish per person as a main course, with bread, alioli and salad on the side. Serving walking bites as a welcome first? Then 300 grams per person is enough. We cook from 20 guests as standard; smaller groups are possible with a custom quote.

The price is simple: live paella costs €38 per person, all-inclusive. That means the chef, cooking on location, tableware, set-up and clean-up. Combine it with a drinks package from €18 per person for wine, beer and soft drinks.

Practicalities: we need a level spot of about two by two metres for the paella burner, and we arrive around two hours before serving to set up. The cooking itself takes 60 to 75 minutes and is part of the show.
