Cabopino is Marbella's quieter marina corner
Cabopino sits at the eastern edge of Marbella, wrapped around a small marina that stays noticeably calmer than Puerto Banús — a mix of low-rise apartment blocks close to the water and a handful of villa developments set back toward the pine forest and golf course. Kitchen projects here tend to be smaller in scale than a Golden Mile villa, but no less considered, and the marina setting shapes what clients ask for.
Apartment kitchens near the marina
Most of the apartment blocks around Cabopino marina date from the 1990s and early 2000s, with layouts that are usually a straightforward like-for-like swap — new units, worktop and appliances in the same footprint. Where we do more involved work is opening a closed kitchen toward a small living-dining space, which is a common request given how many of these apartments are used as holiday homes with guests who want to be part of the conversation while someone cooks.
Villa kitchens set back from the beach
The villa developments further from the marina, closer to the pine forest, give us more room to work with — larger islands, taller cabinetry runs, and layouts that open fully into the living area. These are closer in scope to the Golden Mile projects we do elsewhere in Marbella, just on a slightly smaller, more relaxed scale that suits Cabopino's character.
Styles that suit Cabopino
For apartments close to the marina, White & Blue's crisp cabinetry and Silestone worktops read as coastal without being literal about it — it's one of our most requested palettes here. Cozy Kitchen's aquamarine and warm wood works well in south-facing units with strong natural light. For the larger villa projects, Black Kitchen's dark marble and brass detailing tends to be the choice clients settle on once they've seen the full range of options.
Cost and timeline in Cabopino
A standard Cabopino apartment kitchen renovation typically lands in a similar range to the rest of Marbella's non-Golden-Mile work — usually under €18,000 for a full replacement with integrated appliances. Villa projects with more structural change run higher, closer to the €30,000–€45,000 range depending on materials. From measuring visit to finished fit, most Cabopino apartment projects take 4-6 weeks; villa projects with structural work follow the standard 8-12 week pattern.
