Puerto Banús has a healthy side.
Puerto Banús is not the place you would expect to find healthy or clean eating, however there are a few key spots to try if this is what you are looking for. Açaí bowls, quinoa, grilled salmon, fresh juices, gluten-free options done properly and it all exists within the port and its immediate boundary. You just need to know where to look.

YAW•YE — You Are What You Eat
YAW•YE is one of the very few where every single thing on the menu was designed with what goes into your body in mind.. It’s a bright and chic café built around one idea, that eating well shouldn’t mean eating badly. Everything is organic, everything is gluten free, and the cakes are even vegan with no refined sugars, additives or preservatives.
The menu covers the full day, including açaí bowls with almond milk and peanut butter, matcha yogurt with pistachios and honey, chia pudding, bagels, fresh salads with your choice of six house sauces, and sandwiches that come in vegetarian and vegan versions as standard. The signature juices are where it gets serious, with blends built around superfoods like baobab, acerola, moringa and chlorella, each one named and each one explained. The protein shakes are customisable with whey, collagen or creatine and five milk alternatives. And if you want something indulgent, the YAWYE’s Guilts menu that includes blue spirulina smoothies, speculoos shakes, ChocoLove, and means you don’t have to pretend you’re only here for the green juice.

Lalala Puerto Banús
★★★★½ 4.4 · (1,225 reviews)
Lalala is a health-conscious restaurant situated at the entrance to the port. With salmon teriyaki, fresh salads, high-quality olive oil, and a kitchen that takes cross-contamination seriously enough to be trusted by coeliac diners. The views directly over the port and boats are spectacular, the atmosphere is perfect for couples or for solo diners after something a little lighter and it’s open from 9am to 2am making it the most flexible healthy option on the marina. More expensive than its neighbours but the ingredients justify it.
