Mala Vita sits right on the Dénia marina and is the kind of relaxed spot locals and visitors alike enjoy for drinks, bites and a laid-back vibe with great views of the water. The menu isn’t tied to a single country, it spans international, Mediterranean, Spanish and barbecue-style dishes with everything from salads and tapas to grilled plates and simple classics, plus a full bar and good cocktails.

If you’re near the port and want a casual meal with a sea breeze, whether it’s tapas, a main dish or just a drink, this is one of those flexible places that works for many occasions.
