Bespoke kitchens with an island in Marbella

The island is the heart of the kitchen: people cook, eat and talk around it

At COIN Cocinas we design bespoke kitchens with an island or a peninsula in Marbella and across the Costa del Sol. We study the space, the circulation and the way you use your kitchen to decide the size of the island, what goes into it —hob, sink, storage or a breakfast bar— and how it connects with the living area. Over 30 years of craft and the customisation of INKO furniture let us fit every measurement to the millimetre.

Types of island

An island for every way of living the kitchen

  1. 01

    Island with a breakfast bar

    Extends the worktop for breakfast or a drink while cooking. It is the most social option: the kitchen opens onto the living room and the island becomes a meeting point.

  2. 02

    Working island

    Houses the induction hob with built-in extraction, or the sink, leaving the wall free for tall units and storage. It organises the kitchen into clear zones.

  3. 03

    Peninsula

    Attached to one side of the units, it completes a U-shaped or L-shaped layout when there is no room to walk around an island. It adds worktop and separates kitchen and dining area without closing them off.

  4. 04

    Islands with distinctive shapes and materials

    Curves, natural stone, large-format porcelain or walnut: the island is the most visible piece and the one that best carries a statement material.

How we design it

What we decide with you before drawing it

  • Clearance

    We leave enough room around the island to open drawers and the dishwasher and for two people to pass each other comfortably.

  • What goes inside

    Hob, sink, drawers, wine rack or a clear surface: we decide based on how you cook and where the water, power and extraction points are.

  • Worktop

    Natural stone, technical surfaces, porcelain or wood. We show you the materials in the showroom so you can see and touch them.

  • Light and storage

    Lighting over the island, pop-up sockets and drawers with interior organisers so the worktop always stays clear.

Frequently asked questions

Before you decide on an island

Is there room for an island in my kitchen?

It depends on the free length and width, not just the square metres. When an island cannot be walked around comfortably, a peninsula usually gives the same worktop and the same open-plan feel. We check it with your measurements or floor plan.

Can the hob or the sink go in the island?

Yes. The hob needs extraction —ceiling-mounted or built into the hob itself— and the sink needs a water supply and drain. We review the installation before proposing it.

Which worktop is best for an island?

The one that suits how you use it: technical surfaces and porcelain resist heat and stains very well; natural stone and wood add character and need a little more care. You can compare samples in the showroom.

Do you work outside Marbella?

Yes. Our showroom is in Marbella and we make kitchens across the Costa del Sol and the province of Málaga: our projects include kitchens in Marbella, Coín and Alhaurín el Grande.
