Celebrate Summer at Lauded Mediterranean Icon, the Marbella Club
Exclusive residencies and pop-ups from world-leading brands and industry trailblazers
Property Polishes
Marbella’s Club’s sun-splashed Beach Club has been given an uplift just in time for the influx of summer travellers looking to make the most of one of the continent’s most bustling spots. The new look nods to the 1950’s in the Mexican Riviera’s famed town of Acapulco, which was once the playground for Hollywood stars and the world’s most elite. The region was also frequented by Prince Alfonso for many years and served as a key inspiration for the property’s gardens. The Beach Club will feature hints of green and coral throughout, with reimagined al fresco hangout areas for guests in the lounge, bar, and pool. The restaurant will change from buffet to a la carte, with a new Raw Bar featuring refreshing seafood dishes such as ceviche, tiradito and oysters with live cooking demonstrations and spots to play backgammon inspired by the renowned Slim Aarons photos that were captured during the Marbella Club’s golden days. Meanwhile, a new cocktail menu will feature tropical classics such as Mai Tais and Piña Coladas served in iced Tiki glasses to be enjoyed under the shade of the Beach Club’s traditional Andalusian palapa.
With salty sea tough on the hair, the Marbella Club will also launch a Hair Spa with treatments from world-renowned aesthetician Dr. Barbara Sturm. The new salon dedicated entirely to haircare will feature a variety of therapies from a Revitalising Scalp Treatments, a Signature Sturm Glow and Super Anti-Aging Facial. There will also be additional hairdressing treatments on offer to ensure that guests are able to look and feel their most glamorous during their stay, along with treatments from Votary.

It will also feature a dedicated Watches and Fine Jewellery section in a separate alcove where guests will be able to discover the timeless J12, Première and Boy-Friend Watches along with COCO RUSH Fine Jewellery collection. The spacious 160 square metre popup has been designed in CHANEL’s emblematic colour palette of beige, white and black, with a statement suede couch inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s iconic sofa from her Parisian apartment on Rue Cambon.

Collagerie
This summer, Marbella Club has launched a partnership with one of the hottest curated shopping platforms of the moment, Collagerie.
