Reviews Summary

Restaurante Vela Beach offers a Mediterranean dining experience with a beautiful sea view location. While many praise the quality of food, particularly seafood and paella, and highlight the exceptional service from specific waiters, others report instances of poor and arrogant service from management and staff. Prices are considered a bit high by some, but the food quality and location are often seen as justifying the cost.

"Lovely restaurant with a view of the see.
Exellent food - both the fish courses and the meat courses.
Cabonara is made at the table in the big cheese bowl."

Jeanette Kreislev

"We had a wonderful experience at Vela Beach in La Mata! The food was absolutely delicious every dish we tried was top quality. A special thank you to our waiter, Fran, for his kindness and outstanding service. He made us feel very welcome and taken care of throughout the meal. Highly recommended we’ll definitely be coming back!"
