Property Polishes
Marbella’s Club’s sun-splashed Beach Club has been given an uplift just in time for the influx of summer travellers with the new look offering a nod to the Mexican Riviera’s famed town of Acapulco, which served as a playground for Hollywood stars and the world’s most elite in the 1950s. The Beach Club will feature hints of green and coral, with reimagined al fresco hangout areas, while the restaurant will change from buffet to a la carte. A new Raw Bar will serve 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. 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 launch a Hair Spa in partnership with world-renowned aesthetician Dr. Barbara Sturm, with a variety of therapies including a Revitalising Scalp Treatment, a Signature Sturm Glow and Super Anti-Aging Facial.
