About This Spot

Nestled along the gentle coastline of Las Lagunas de Mijas, Restaurante Faro playa & Charcón Beach invites you into a space where the rhythm of the sea shapes the dining experience. Upon arrival, there’s an immediate sense of calm as the salty breeze and the sound of waves meeting the shore blend effortlessly with the hum of friendly conversations. Whether you choose a table on the sun-warmed terrace or a cozy spot inside, the atmosphere strikes a balance—relaxed yet vibrant, casual but with the unmistakable touch of a place that truly cares about the moment.

As the day unfolds, the mood shifts subtly with the light. Afternoons drift lazily here, with the focus on savoring genuine Spanish flavors that feel both familiar and inspired by the coast. Plates arrive filled with fresh seafood and local specialties that carry the honest textures and scents of their origin—each bite echoing the nearby waters and the warmth of the sun. The offerings encourage sharing, laughter, and the quiet appreciation of time spent well, making it a natural setting for intimate lunches or evenings that stretch into the sunset.

The staff’s attentive presence contributes to the ease of the experience without ever feeling intrusive. There’s a sincere warmth in how the team moves between tables, balancing attentiveness with respect for the tranquil vibes of the place. In this way, service here seems less about efficiency and more about contributing to the collective experience of the day.

Many come here drawn by the picture-perfect views and stay for the way the place holds a gentle pulse—where locals and travelers alike find a welcoming spot to disconnect from rush and routine. Whether it's the subtle sizzle of freshly grilled fish or the cooling refreshment of a well-crafted mojito, Restaurante Faro playa & Charcón Beach whispers stories of the coast with every moment you spend at its tables.

There are quite a few comments on TripAdvisor saying that service is not very good. Our experience is diametrically opposite, we were attended quickly and efficiently and the food was fabulous. Unfortunately I don’t have pictures of the dishes to show for it (too hungry! ;) but I completely recommend coming.

Love this place! We had lunch at the restaurant, around 3-4 pm, and it was fairly empty. The view is amazing, the atmosphere is great, seating is both indoors & outdoors, the service is perfect - the staff is attentive, thoughtful, really imvested in your order & very friendly. The food was delicious- we had many starters, all of them were great & for main dish ee had beef steaks, ribs and sea food - they were all spot on. Plus, I love the special desserts they have - the entire family, including the kids, had a great time. Highly-recommended!

We had a good time here. Got there fairly early and soon it was bustling with people coming for food. My mouth was watering with the smells coming from the kitchen. The resturant looks over the beach so it's stunning just sitting there. The food was very tasty and we polished it all off. Think it is well priced and very good surroundings. The waiter was a little rushed, but when the food is good people are going to flock to you

We stopped on the way back from marbella.A beautiful setting right by the water side. Large terrace overlooking the sea. We had the pilpil and the seafood soup as a starter and the turbut as a main course. The pilpil was sizzling hot and really nice. The seafood soup had not much seafood in it, hence 4 not 5 stars. The turbut was delicious (5€ 100gr )so not cheap but ok.

We visited in person, we are staying at Los Amigos Beach Club, and made a reservation for the same evening on the terrace at 8 pm. The staff were great, really helpful, the views terrific as the sun slowly sets. The food really good. We shared the piri piri prawns - good but they are better at LABC. I had the tuna, huge and beautifully cooked. The Mrs had the Sea Bass, good but pricey at 27 euro (it's one of several fish you pay for by weight). Will definitely be returning, maybe twice more, during our 3 week stay at LABC.

Delicious Spanish seafood with a wonderful view. We very much enjoyed our lunch here (a short walk from Los Amigos resort) Friendly staff and lovely fresh fish! Highly recommended.
