Michelin-Starred Hospitality Group to Open Beach Club Astoria in Marbella
23rd June 2026
Marbella’s beachfront dining scene is set to welcome another prestigious addition, with the renowned Frantzén Group announcing plans to launch Beach Club Astoria on the coast in summer 2026. The project marks the group's first venture directly on the beach and is already generating considerable interest among residents and visitors alike.
The group is led by Björn Frantzén, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading chefs. He holds the unique distinction of operating three separate three-Michelin-starred restaurants simultaneously, located in Stockholm, Singapore and Dubai. While those establishments are celebrated for their refined fine-dining experiences, Beach Club Astoria will offer a more relaxed concept designed to complement Marbella’s laid-back coastal lifestyle.
Building on Astoria’s Success in Marbella
The Astoria name is already well established on the Costa del Sol thanks to the success of Brasserie Astoria in Nueva Andalucía. Since opening last year, the restaurant has quickly become one of the area’s most popular dining destinations, attracting both local residents and international visitors.
Earlier this month, the team celebrated the venue’s first anniversary with a special event at the restaurant. Reflecting on the milestone, the group shared a message on social media thanking guests for their support and highlighting the strong community that has developed around the brand since its arrival in Marbella.
With the launch of Beach Club Astoria now confirmed, the Frantzén Group continues to strengthen its presence in Marbella, bringing its internationally acclaimed hospitality experience to one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after destinations.
