The Fortune Family Group to launch Cà Maréin in Marbella

The Fortune Family Group to launch Cà Maréin in Marbella, Spain, in July 2026

This July, the Fortune Family Group will open Cà Maréin in Marbella - an exciting new destination comprising a luxurious beachfront club with an in-house restaurant and bars on the city’s prestigious Golden Mile (La Milla de Oro). Cà Maréin will bring relaxed, leisurely days by the sea, with cocktails, wines and indulgent Italo-Mediterranian lunches and sunset dinners, overlooking one of Spain’s most coveted coastlines.

Cà Maréin will occupy a 600 sq m site directly on the shoreline. The restaurant, led by Executive Chef Emanuele Pollini, opens onto two expansive terraces shaded by canopies and scalloped parasols. The menu will draw on Andalucía's finest produce, centred on day-landed fish and seafood, with dishes informed by both Italian coastal kitchens and the wider Mediterranean.

Emanuele, who was born in Romagna, a region widely regarded as the heartland of Italian cuisine, draws on his heritage and extensive experience across some of Europe’s leading kitchens. His approach combines technical precision with a natural style of cooking that emanates a relaxed refinement. He will work closely with local suppliers and fishers, with catch of the day and daily specials taking centre stage.
Renowned for its upscale glamour, luxury clubs, hotels and jet-set clientele, Marbella has increasingly become a gastronomic and hospitality destination attracting Michelin-starred chefs, internationally recognised restaurant groups, as well as discerning diners and design-conscious travellers. Against this backdrop, the Fortune Family Group - behind Michelin-starred Lita in London - aims to bring together an all-day cossetted retreat experience, that melds luxury coastal living with the group’s refined yet understated approach to hospitality.

The beach club will comprise 24 loungers set just above the shoreline, positioned for guests to move seamlessly throughout the day between sea, lunch, aperitivo and dinner. Coupled with an intuitively attentive service and music programme, days at Cà Maréin will provide the ultimate all-day destination to indulge in the calm, clear waters and luxury vibe of one of the most exclusive stretches of golden sands on the Spanish coast.

Born in 1986 in Cesena, Italy, Emanuele Pollini began his culinary training at the Istituto Alberghiero Pellegrino Artusi in Forlimpopoli, before gaining experience across the Adriatic coast under acclaimed chef Vincenzo Cammerucci. During these formative years, he worked in renowned restaurants including Lido Lido, Terre Alte, La Buca and Frantoio Turchi. He later joined some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens, including Martin Berasategui in Spain and Maaemo in Norway, both awarded three Michelin stars, as well as Clooney in New Zealand, holder of the country’s highest three-hat distinction. In 2020, Emanuele was named Best Italian Chef by Gambero Rosso.

Since 2013, Emanuele has worked closely with Carlo Cracco, first at Cracco’s Michelin-starred restaurant in Milan, and later as Executive Chef of Carlo e Camilla in Segheria in Milan. He later led the opening of OVO by Carlo Cracco in Moscow as Executive Chef, overseeing its culinary direction and development. At the end of 2020, Emanuele launched VADVARE, a gastronomic laboratory that quickly achieved national recognition.
In autumn 2023, he returned to Europe to open Pollini at Ladbroke Hall in Notting Hill, London, before being appointed Brand Chef of Oltremare in Dubai later that year. In summer 2026, he will take on a new project with the Fortune Family Group, opening Cà Maréin in Marbella.
