From Marbella to Hoi An – Connecting Two Cultures Through Gastronomy
Food has always been one of the world's most universal languages, bringing people together regardless of how far apart they come from. From Marbella to Hoi An is built upon that very spirit. It is a celebration of two remarkable destinations—Marbella, Spain's vibrant Mediterranean coastal city, and Hoi An, Vietnam's historic ancient town. Though separated by thousands of kilometers, both places share a deep appreciation for genuine hospitality, meaningful connections, and the tradition of gathering around a shared table.
Guided by two distinguished guest culinary professionals, this experience goes far beyond a traditional dinner. It offers guests an opportunity to explore the rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, discover how carefully selected local ingredients from Hoi An are elevated through Spanish culinary techniques, and experience the harmony that emerges when two distinct food cultures come together.
More than simply serving exceptional food, From Marbella to Hoi An is designed to tell a story—one where every ingredient, every dish, and every shared moment reflects the beauty of cultural exchange through gastronomy.
Sobremesa – When a Meal Becomes a Story
In Spain, a meal rarely ends when the last dish is served. Long after the Tapas have been shared and the Paella has been enjoyed, family and friends remain gathered around the table, raising another toast, exchanging stories, and savoring each other's company. This cherished tradition is known as Sobremesa—a beautiful expression of Spanish culture where meaningful conversations and genuine human connection are valued just as much as the food itself.
This very spirit serves as the inspiration behind From Marbella to Hoi An. Rather than simply presenting a sequence of dishes, the event invites guests on a thoughtfully curated journey where flavors, music, and conversations unfold naturally throughout the evening. Tapas are served in the traditional sharing style, signature cocktails become the perfect conversation starters, and every moment spent around the table embodies the true essence of Sobremesa.
Set against the peaceful backdrop of Anmira Hoi An, where the tranquil swimming pool meets lush green rice fields, the spirit of Sobremesa is reimagined through the meeting of Spanish culinary traditions and the timeless beauty of Hoi An. Seasonal local ingredients are thoughtfully paired with Mediterranean cooking techniques, creating dishes that feel both refined and approachable.
More than a culinary experience, the evening celebrates how two cultures can come together through flavors, ingredients, and the shared joy of dining. Every carefully prepared plate, every handcrafted cocktail, and every conversation contributes to an atmosphere where hospitality becomes a universal language.
At From Marbella to Hoi An, Sobremesa is not simply recreated—it is brought to life, inviting guests to slow down, connect with one another, and create lasting memories around a beautifully shared table.
Spanish Flavors Meet Signature Cocktails – Exclusively at Anmira Hoi An
One of the defining highlights of From Marbella to Hoi An is the seamless way every element comes together to create a complete culinary journey. The collaboration between guest chef Pedro Goizueta and guest bartender Dũng Nguyễn offers a fresh perspective on contemporary dining, where food and cocktails work in harmony to tell a shared story inspired by culture, craftsmanship, and connection.
The evening's menu features a carefully curated selection of authentic Spanish cuisine, beginning with shareable Tapas such as Mediterranean Sashimi and Gambas al Ajillo, followed by signature Paella—Spain's iconic rice dish—presented in two distinctive variations: Seafood Paella and Beef Paella.
Complementing the menu are three exclusive signature cocktails created especially for the event by ÚNU Art - Inspired Eatery & Bar. Each cocktail has been thoughtfully crafted to pair perfectly with the flavors of every course, guiding guests through an evolving sensory experience—from the delicate freshness of the appetizers to the lingering conversations that continue long after dinner.
Rather than simply accompanying the food, these cocktails become part of the culinary narrative. Every carefully balanced ingredient, aroma, and presentation has been designed to enhance the character of the dishes, allowing food and drinks to complement one another naturally while creating an immersive dining experience.
