Ctra de Istan - Km 08 Marbella 29600 Spain

nightlife

Like the brasher, slightly cheaper version of St. Tropez, Marbella has long been a glittery summer playground for a rich and grown-up set of Europe vacationers and celebrity yachters. Olivia Valere is the town's version of the Byblos' Les Caves du Roy located in a simulated 1001 Arabian Nights with drama interior surrounded in octagonal rooms built with stone-capped columns and endless VIP seating areas to entertain the international celebrities like Luis Miguel, Bruce Willis and Kate Moss that come looking for high-season's best 2am dance scene.

Cabanas wrapped in white drapery and stain glass walls give the feeling of a beach club by night, with hand-painted tiles and endless stone details that can be a bit much on the eyes after a magnum of Dom. Music ranges from Euro-style dance tunes to the occasion remixed pop or hip-hop classic with heavy patronage of Jay-Z and David Guetta. When it all becomes just a little too much, a fresh-air patio awaits that a visual reproduction of the Patio of Lion in Alhambra that keeps the Arabian theme going even in the reality of moonlight.

Tips

Don’t ask us why, but bottle service booked in advance inevitably ends up cheaper than drinking by the glass throughout the night. Contact the management through a Spanish-speaking concierge and get one in advance.

Last Word

Marbella’s top VIP dance club offers a supper club oasis of early evening dining and late-night dance action in Arabian-theme playground.
