Magical Portimao Beach in Portugal

By  
Filed under Rich Travel

In the beginning of October I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the south of Portugal. I was not planning to go there, but since it is only a 4 hour drive from Marbella and there was a place for me in the car, I went along.

I was in this part of Portugal briefly last year, but it was November and the weather was not very good to enjoy the beach at that time, so I didn’t even know what the beaches are like in Algarve region.

We stayed at the Tivoli Marina Portimão resort, which had enormous rooms, amazing breakfast, great location and wonderful view to the Marina of Portimão from every single room. The hotel was very good and I would recommend it, if you decide to go and stay in Portimão.

Here is a picture of me enjoying my breakfast :) I love my food :)

This is a magnificent view from our room.

Yeah, and here is the gym with amazing view, which no one actually used. At least I haven’t seen a single person who would be using the equipment during my 3-day stay in the hotel. Which is a shame, right?

So, after having a breakfast I decided to go for a walk and check out the beach. I didn’t even had my bikini with me, because all I wanted to do was to see what the beach is like, then go to my room to work a little and only after that and if the water was warm enough I thought I would go for a swim. At least this was my initial plan.

I was glad to find out that the sand on the beach was very fine and white, the water was warm and crystal clear and the beach itself was very wide. So, I decided to go towards the huge rock or cliff which was far ahead, check it out and then go back to the hotel.

When I came closer to the cliff I thought that this was the end of the beach. I was enjoying the enormity of rocks in the water and then I noticed that there is a small hole in this cliff through which you can go to the other side. Of course I was curious enough to check what was beyond this point.

And then I came through the wall to the other side I was gobsmacked by almost surreal beauty. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was definitely not expecting to see something so extraordinary in Europe. I thought that you need to go to Hawaii or Maldives or other exotic place to experience such magnificent nature. But yet it was here in Portugal just in front of my eyes. The rocks surrounding me were so enormous, that I felt like on a different planet, like Alice in Wonderland even. I still can’t find proper words to explain what I felt and experienced, just have a look for yourself and decide if this place is special or not.

For me it definitely felt special and I don’t need to tell you that I was walking back and forwards all day long and the next morning I came down there straight after breakfast and stayed till sunset. I felt very happy there and will be definitely coming back!

Rich Girl Attends Antibes Yacht Show 2011

I have just returned from my trip to French Riviera where I was lucky to spend one week on Antibes Yacht Show 2011.

Antibes Yacht Show is the first major yacht show of the season and is held in the port of Vauban, which is the largest port in Europe and this year there were 36 superyachts on display. This was my first time on the Antibes Yacht Show and I loved it. The show was wonderful, very well organized, a lot of amazing yachts and boats to look at as well as impressive list of participating companies.

antibes yacht show 2011

For me this show was all about champagne and rose wine and after parties. Well, life is beautiful when you are in the yachting industry. My days started and ended with champagne with hors d’œuvre in different places through out the show and I can’t say I didn’t like it. Although, after consuming so much of wine I was just drinking water in a plane on my way back home.

antibes yacht show red carpet

So, going to yacht shows is always so much fun, you meet interesting people whether it is the owner of the yacht or it’s captain. Oh, this reminds me that I still haven’t told you about my trip to Monaco Boat Show 2010, where I bumped into mister Abramovich. Please remind me to tell you about Monaco next time, I have some really interesting and intriguing memories to share.

antibes yacht show 2011 boat and captain

I have met some nice and interesting people during Antibes Yacht Show 2011 as well. For, example, Maik van Zoggel the director of the Dutch company – YachtsXL. The company makes amazing videos of yachts, boats and everything which falls into this category. Good quality videos of a yacht is a great way of advertising it for potential buyers or people interested in charter.

antibes yacht show 2011 party on yachtsxl stand

I have spent some time on the YachtsXL stand, talked to a lot of interesting people, laughed, enjoyed some sushi and great rose wine. Guys at YachtsXL are very friendly and professional, so the next time you will need a video of your yacht or company contact them first. They are great! :)

The other stand I want to point out from the Antibes Yacht Show 2011 is the one by Corkers Fine Wines & Provisions. The guys on the stand were very generous, they offered numerous tastings for their exquisite white and rose wines as well as provided some other stands with free bottles. This company is a specialist supplier to the yachting industry with over 30 years experience, has extensive range of world class wines and highly competitive prices.

Every evening there was live music and drinks at a “Crew Lounge”, organized by the Bluewater. This lounge was packed with people every evening and was a great place to make new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.

One of the most busiest stands during the show was Dovaston Crew – a world leader in the placement of professional crew. Dovaston Crew has office in Antibes and one night they organized drinks there.

So many people wanted to come for a drink, that they couldn’t even fit inside. Thankfully the weather was amazing and there was a happy crowd outside the office.

The other busy stand was Lloyds TSB International, very friendly team of professionals was helping crew members to open their offshore international bank accounts.

There were also other parties, like barbeque for the crew, cocktail party for the exhibitors, Captains’ Dinner and other. As I told you, it was really hard to stay focused and sober :)

If you ask me what yacht did I like the most during my time on the show, I would definitely say – Dilbar! It looks just the way I want my yacht to look one day. I haven’t been inside that yacht yet, because the yacht was not among the show participants, but I bet it is as grand inside as it looks from the outside.

So, Antibes Yacht Show 2011 was an amazing event, time flied so fast. At first, when I was just going there I thought what am I going to do for almost a week on a show, but it turned out that every day was filled with different and exciting things to do and people to meet.

The last thing I want to tell you, rich girls, about Yacht Shows is that yachting industry is a man’s world. And it means that if you are still single and planning to find the man of your dreams preferably with the yacht, you need to hurry up and order tickets to the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show 2011 which will be in the end of September. Also, if you still haven’t decided what career path to take, I would suggest you look into possibility of being a stewardess on a yacht. It’s fun, you live and eat on a yacht, you hang around cool people and you can save lots of money, because the salary is good and you can only spend it on your shopping while on shore, how cool is that?!

If you decide to try your chances as a stewardess then I suggest you turn to Bluewater for training first and after that Dovaston Crew will help you find the perfect yacht to work for.

Have you ever been to a yacht show before? What do you think about it? How you choose your next yacht for charter?

If you have any questions, I would love to hear back form you! Let’s have a conversation in the comments below.

The Ritz-Carlton World’s Highest Hotel

Hey, hey, girls! Have you already heard about the latest addition to the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain – The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong?! The hotel opened in the end of March this year and is the world’s “highest” hotel at the moment, located at the very top of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Hong Kong, occupying floors 102 to 118. I haven’t been there yet, but those who visited this hotel were raving about the magnificent and absolutely breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the iconic Hong Kong skyline as well as absolutely fantastic service and key amenities at the hotel.

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong New highest Hotel

I think that we, girls, will love this hotel for several reasons:

First reason – the SPA

At the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel they have SPA by ESPA – which is my absolute favorite SPA in the world! Although, the best location for the SPA to my mind is somewhere outside on a secluded island or a beach, where you can enjoy the fresh air, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore and twittering of exotic birds, the ESPA at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong offers something more unique – SPA at the 16,000 feet above the ground with floor-to-ceiling windows! Have you ever been to the SPA on the 116th floor with panoramic views before?!

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Hotel panoramic view harbour victoria

Second reason – Chocolate Lounge

Us, girls, we love chocolate! And, yes, we are on a constant diets and blah, blah, blah. But I haven’t seen a girl in my life who would refuse a delicious chocolate or exquisite desert at least once in while. And at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong there is a chocolate-themed lounge named The Chocolate Library on the 103rd floor and a stylish patisserie located on the 9th floor as well as three restaurants on the 102nd floor.

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong New Hotel

Third reason – Shopping

Shopping is the main reason of all my travels, just kidding (not really!). The one million square foot Elements shopping mall in the podium of the International Commerce Centre offers some of the finest shopping in Hong Kong with luxury brand names.

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong New Hotel

These are the main reasons why I already know that I will love the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel, but of course there are a lot more things this amazing hotel has to offer. Like the largest ballrooms in the city at 10,000 sqft., elaborately decorated with a sea of crystal chandeliers. The décor of the Diamond Ballroom will be perfect for weddings, meetings and gala events.

And the comfortable rooms with amazing views will guarantee you will wake up happy and ready for an exciting day ahead of you.

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong New Hotel

At the end of the successful and adventurous day there is nothing better than a refreshing drink in a bar, right? :)

Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong New Hotel

I really loved this hotel and the pictures! But if you want to get the better idea and feeling, I suggest you to watch this video:

ritz-carlton video about Hong Kong highest hotel

After writing about this amazing hotel and viewing all these pictures, I have realized that it is time for me to travel to Hong Kong. What about you, girls? Have you been to Hong Kong before?

Have a great day!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Rich Girl and Paris

By  
Filed under Rich Travel

This is my anniversary post here on Rich Girl’s Club – #100 and I want to dedicate it to the magical Paris. It is funny, I thought I am writing and writing these posts, but I only got 100! Is it a lot or not? I don’t know, but the more I write here, the more I want to, and I am never going to stop.
So, Paris! I was so fortunate to visit this eternal city of Love this March and also I was lucky to have amazing sunny and warm weather, which was a really nice surprise, as in Spain it was raining and cold.
This was my second visit to Paris and I must say I really fell in love with this city from the second try. Let me explain, although during my first visit to Paris I was celebrating my Birthday, which is also in Spring, and I had amazing time in Disney World (not really, it was cold and I was too old for those rides), and adored Versailles palace (honestly, I want to own this place one day or maybe a little bit smaller version of the mansion, the garden should remain the same size, though), the view from the Eiffel Tower was breathtaking and the twinkling lights on the same tower during night time were better than fireworks, and Sacré Coeur de Montmartre by night was magical! All these things were amazing, but still I was going home from my first visit thinking: “And this is Paris everyone is so crazy about? This is the city you need to die after you have seen it? Really?! Am I missing something?”

eiffel tower paris spring day

So, I wasn’t very impressed by Paris during my first visit and I definitely didn’t fall in love with this city as most other people do, maybe because my expectations were way too high. That is why when I was offered to go to Paris this Spring, I was like – yeah, whatever. And this is where the magic starts!
I had only three days in Paris in the middle of March this year, but I can confess, I really fell in love with this city this time! Paris is wonderful – beautiful, cosmopolitan, chic, adorable, huge, tasty, sweet and sexy. Yes, sexy! Because they have a lot of sexy ladies on the certain streets I accidentally wandered to :)

This second time I loved to stroll a lot, checked out different Brasseries, drank wine, were riding a lot in the subway, got lost in Galleries Lafayette, got a lot of sugar in my blood after sampling way too much of French macarons even in McDonalds (I love, love macarons!), spent all my money on Rue Saint-Honoré (damn, Michael Kors opened amazing huge store there just few days before my arrival), meditated in Buddha Bar over cocktails and sushi, I even wrote my most desired wish to God in the huge book in Notre Dame de Paris (but shush, don’t tell anyone, I still hope it was a book for writing wishes not a guest-book or something).

rich girl notre dame de paris

Anyway, this time Paris showed me it’s real face that I loved and I will definitely come back for more. And I want to write much more about Paris, but let’s just leave something for the next post – #101.

Do you like Paris, rich girls and boys? What do you find magical in this city? Would love to hear from you!

Rich Girls Get-Together in Milan

By  
Filed under Rich Travel

I have celebrated the beginning of the Spring this year with my amazing girlfriends in Milan. We planned this get-together half a year in advance and it turned out to be a blast!

It was so great to meet all my old friends, whom I haven’t seen in a while and still realize that we haven’t changed a lot and still can have so much fun together. My friends now live in different countries all around the world and it was really amazing that we could find time in our busy schedules and dedicate it just for ourselves.

Why Milan? There were no particular reason for choosing Milan, other than this was the easiest destination for all of us and one of my friends lived in Milan for a couple of years, so she could show us the best places in town.

Blond Girls in Milan Gallery

What did we do? Well, maybe I will disappoint you, but we were definitely not going on a sightseeing tour :) I have been in Milan before and this city didn’t impress me much. The only place I really love in Milan is the Duomo Cathedral and the Gallery.

Gallery in Milan center

So, in Milan we partied, drank a lot of marvelous coffee, enjoyed delicious food, talked and laughed a lot. And yes, some of us did go shopping :) There is no chance you won’t buy anything while in Milan. I had no intention on going shopping, but I bought some bits and pieces anyway.

Gallery in Milan Center Inside

People in Milan? People in Milan are super mega stylish! I was watching them in awe, because every single person (excluding the tourists) was looking unique and trendy. And there is no surprise, because Milan is the fashion capital of the world. People in Milan are spoiled, because they have such an amazing choice of brands, stores, boutiques, outlets.

What else have I noticed, is that guys in Milan are taking really good care of themselves. Every single guy I have met on the streets of Milan had a trendy haircut or an up-do and their skin looked perfect (well, at least from the distance). It seems that all men in Milan are involved in modeling business, which also can be true. But all the above mentioned somehow doesn’t make these men super attractive, for me it all looked kind of superficial, a little bit too much.

Duomo Milan Center Cathedral

Best Memories? My best memories from this trip will be the atmosphere of girlie spirit and unity, that I have experienced during these three days. Every one of us has their own problems and fears, but we somehow managed to leave everything at home and just enjoyed the life, our friendship, good company, good laugh, good food and good coffee.

Italian Coffee

Definitely I will always remember this trip with a warm smile on my face. Thank you girls, for being amazing and wonderful!

The next day after we all returned back home from our trip, we started to plan our next get-together, we just can’t get enough! :)

Rich Girl Milan Gallery Center

What about you, my lovely rich girls? Have you ever went on a girls get-together trips? What was it like? Where did you go? Please share your thoughts and memories with us all in the comments below!

Have an amazing spring ahead of you, girls!

Yours,

Rich Girls Find Bulgari Watch Under Pillow

By  
Filed under Rich Travel

People say that rich girls have amazing life: they travel around the world, always get what they want, their path in life is covered with rose petals and smells like expensive perfume, and all they ever do is party and drink champagne! Well, now in addition to all that rich girls can also have their personal exclusive luxury tooth fairy.

You may ask how is that?! Well, I just received amazing offer from the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas and the newly-unveiled Bulgari boutique at North Park Center. These two luxury mega brands have partnered to offer a “surprising” new guest experience beginning March 1 through Labor Day 2011.

Ritz-Carlton Suite Dallas Texas

What they came up with is to my mind the amazing offer called “The Suite Dreams Shopping Experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas” and which will be best suited for us, rich girls, who adore Bulgari jewelry. The package features a one-night stay in a Deluxe Suite complemented by included transportation to the Bulgari boutique located just a few minutes from The Ritz-Carlton. In addition to Bulgari concierge shopping assistance, guests staying on the new package will receive a Bulgari gift during their visit to the boutique — either a selection from the iconic brand’s celebrated international fragrance collection, or a stunning Bulgari coffee-table book written by Sotheby jewelry experts Daniela Mascetti and Amanda Triossi.

Ritz-Carlton Suite Dreams Bulgari Shopping Dallas Texas

So, Bulgari shopping and presents for shopping, sounds great isn’t it?! But the main catch is the complimentary Bulgari watch! Because one Suite Dreams guest per month will receive a complimentary Bulgari watch nestled under his or her pillow during the stay. The Bulgari Carbon Gold Limited Edition Watch will be presented to a single Suite Dreams guest per month, featured as part of evening turn down service in the one guest’s suite and selected via a random process.

I think this offer will be great for planning your next girls get-together, because it combines everything which girls love: shopping, presents, surprises and having a good time. I personally have never been to Dallas, so I could also add sightseeing to all the above.

So, girls, what do you think?! Does it sounds interesting and exciting to you?! Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Rich Girls’ Beautiful Seville in February

I dedicated this February to exploring Spain. At the beginning of the month I visited beautiful Barcelona and at the end of the month spent amazing weekend in Seville. Both cities impressed me with unique architecture, breathtaking views and vibe. I have been in Barcelona 3 times before, but every time this magical city has something new to offer and explore, you just can’t be bored in Barcelona.

I will tell you more about Barcelona in my future posts, but today I want to show you Seville. First time I have heard about this city, when my friend advised me to visit Seville one year ago, saying that this is the most beautiful city in Andalucia and that it is absolutely a must to go there. Although it is only a two hours drive from Marbella it took me one year to actually pack my bag and go there.

I loved Seville from the first step I’ve made out of the hotel. It was absolutely wonderful: with numerous orange trees, full of oranges, grand historical monuments and buildings, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, the oldest bullring in Spain, the Giralda tower, amazing Plaza de España and picturesque river. I was admiring this city the whole weekend and just couldn’t get enough of it, to my luck the weather was also magnificent – sunny and warm, which made the exploring of the city a double pleasure.

It is always better to come and see Seville with your own eyes, but in case you want a small preview, I will show you just a few pictures. Let’s consider it a little teaser.

Before I go on and show you pictures of Seville, I just want to say a couple of words about the hotel where I was staying – Gran Melia Colon. If you go to Seville, I would recommend you choose this hotel, because of it’s location, comfort and service. I was absolutely satisfied with this leading luxury hotel in Spain.

We stayed in premium room, which was spacious, elegant and equipped with the latest technology.

Gran Melia Colon Hotel Superior Room Seville Spain

Loved the hall of the hotel.

Luxury Gran Meila Colon Hall Sevilla Spain

The other thing that I loved about Gran Melia Colon hotel is that each door had different painting on it. I haven’t seen anything like that before.

Paintings on Doors in Gran Melia Colon Hotel Sevilla Spain

After checking into the hotel, I started exploring the city and the first must-see on my list was the Cathedral and the Giralda tower. You can climb the tower and it promises to have magnificent views of the city from the top of it, but unfortunately I was not able to do it this time, I will definitely come back and do it next time. Below are just a few pictures of the Seville Cathedral and Giralda tower from different angles:

Giralda Tower and Oranges Sevilla Spain

The next monument that impressed me immensely, was the Plaza de España, built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. As it says on wikipedia: It is a landmark example of the Renaissance Revival style in Spanish architecture. You can read about it more here.

Rich Girl Plaza de Espana Seville Spain

I loved pictures on tiles with different cities, here is the picture of Malaga.

Tile Pictures and Map of Malaga in Plaza de Espana Seville Spain

The next historical monument I visited was the oldest bullring in Spain – Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza. You can see the bullring and also visit the museum, where guide will tell you different interesting stories and facts about the history of the bullfight. I felt sorry for those bulls killed here during all those years.

Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza Sevilla Spain

When in Seville, I suggest you visit Alfonso XIII hotel, just enter it and walk through the hall.

Rich Girl Alfonso XIII Hotel Sevilla Spain

Oranges, oranges everywhere! I haven’t seen so many orange trees in one city in my whole life. It is so beautiful!

Oranges in Seville Spain

At the end of my trip, of course, it is time to dine and wine and go to the club. There was really cool club just 200 meters from the hotel, called Kudeta Seville. It has 4 floors and you will definitely find the music to your taste.

Luxury Dining in Seville Spain

So, this was my little tour of Seville for you girls and boys. Of course I couldn’t show you everything, as we agreed, it was just a teaser. Seville has a lot more to offer, than just what I have showed you here in this post. I will come back to this city again, because I loved it!

What do you think? Have you been to Seville before? Are you planning to visit this city one day? Would love to hear from you!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Happy New Year, my dear Rich Girls! I hope you had a wonderful New Years celebration! I had so much fun! I was dancing till 7 a.m. in Marbella’s coolest venues. This year I decided to celebrate New Years here in Marbella and I loved it.
But a lot of celebrities decided to celebrate New 2011 Year in St. Barth’s – the ultimate winter holiday destination for rich and famous. Rich Girls Club was writing about St. Barth’s in the beginning of 2010. I love to watch all these celebrity pictures from this magical island and probably will go there in the end of this year. But let’s just see who was spotted enjoying good time and sunny weather in St. Barth’s this holiday season.

Amsterdam through Rich Girl’s Eyes

It was not my first visit to Amsterdam, I was here before and I loved it. I always wanted to come back and I know this is not my last time in this amazing city.
I would call Amsterdam the city of contrasts – it is very romantic and cozy because of the canals, narrow streets and cute old unique houses and at the same time depraved with naked girls popping out of the windows offering their bodies and pleasure for money.
Rich Girls Amsterdam
Amsterdam has numerous churches and at the same time it is the only place in Europe where you are allowed by law to smoke weed in designated places called “Coffee Shops”. No matter what you think or have heard about Amsterdam – you can’t argue that this city is an absolute must see! Amsterdam is fun!
Rich Girls Amsterdam
I was surprised how many bicycles were there in Amsterdam. It seems that the whole city rides bicycles. I think that I have only one picture from the whole trip without a bicycle entering the picture and this was just because I was capturing pedestrian street with no cyclists allowed. Other than that there are hundreds of them, you need to watch out not for crazy car drivers, but rather for cyclists, because they have no fear and mercy for pedestrians. God forbid to stay in their way and confuse their lane with pavement, you will be yelled at and even could end up injured. I think the first thing you need to keep in mind is watch out for cyclists! If you get it right, you will be able to enjoy this amazing city without consequences.
Rich Girls Amsterdam

Everywhere you go in Amsterdam, you will find a thing to smile about (and it is not an effect of the weed, I hope). Where else in the world you will find “xxx” sign on almost all city things? I mean on city clocks, lamps, garbage bins, on the pavement, on the flag, just everywhere you will look, you will see XXX. And there is a reason for this, of course. It is because “xxx” is the city’s official symbol that was chosen 500 years ago. And no, it doesn’t mean what you think. Three X represent three crosses which are St. Andrew’s crosses, named after the apostle St. Andrew who is said to have been martyred on such a cross.
Amsterdam xxx cross
Holland is also known for their flowers. I was in awe when I was walking through flower market. I wanted to buy everything and at once, but I knew I will not be able to take them with me on board of the plane. But I have found out that they will be glad to send me any bulb I want, so I am thinking about planting my balcony with cute tulips next spring, it will be so beautiful.
Rich Girls Amsterdam
Rich Girls Amsterdam

Amsterdam is definitely fun! Enter any shop where they sell souvenirs and just laugh out loud on the things you will never get anywhere in the world like candies with hash, salt and pepper shakers in the shape of penis and etc.
Souvenir Amsterdam

Look at the girls in the windows, they are so different and trying hard to grab attention of the potential clients. Enter one of the numerous Sex Shops which here are full of people, so you will not be ashamed to go there all alone. Like I entered one of such shop specialized in new technology, expensive models of dildos. The shop itself was bright and white, just like an Apple Store. People there were walking around and looking at the newest designs and inventions with serious faces. It was so funny. And of course if nothing of the above made you smile, go to the coffee shop or visit Sex Museum or Hash Museum, where else in this world you will be able to mix culture with pleasure?!

I would love to come to Amsterdam again and again. In this city you will never be bored. I would also recommend this city for hen and bachelor’s parties; Amsterdam is just made for fun and sinful pleasures (for those who are looking for them anyway).
Oh, and one more thing. In case you decide to visit Amsterdam, I would really advice you to go there during summer months, because it was freezing in November. I needed to run from one coffee spot (not be confused with coffee shops!) to another, because I was not used to cold after Spain. The good thing is that I have found a really good place for coffee called Coffee Company. I loved their coffee even better than Starbucks.
Rich Girls Amsterdam

And I also found great place for sushi called Zushi! Sushi at this place were just AMAZING!! When I will be next time in Amsterdam I will go there for sure. Or, maybe I was just very hungry and cold, but anyway, sushi were good!

Also, if you will visit Amsterdam in summer you will be able to enjoy a boat ride on the beautiful canals. This definitely must do while in Amsterdam. I was not taking a boat ride this time, because as I said it was freezing, but I enjoyed it during my previous visit and it was unforgettable! And yes, the pictures are much cooler than taken during sunny day.
So, this is my little story about my visit to Amsterdam. Have you been there? Maybe you can share your own experience with this city? I would love to hear from you!

Martina Hingis in Marbella for Marbella Masters 2010

By  
Filed under Rich Travel

This year for the first time Puente Romano Tennis Club in Marbella is hosting Senior Tennis Tournament – The Puente Romano Marbella Masters 2010.

Marbella welcomes tennis stars such as the two times Roland Garros Champion and past “King of Clay” Sergi Brugera, Wimbledon Champions Pat Cash and Richard Krajicek and others. But the true star of this luxurious event is the 5-time Grand Slam Champion Martina Hingis!!

The event is taking place from 17th till 19th of September 2010 and I’ve already attended two days of the Matches. I must say that this is a spectacular event and all the rich and famous of Marbella circuits (as well as those who came here for holiday) can be spotted on the stands. I was pleased to spot a lot of rich girls with their Hermes bags and Omega watches, as well as guys with the attitude. I just love such posh events, when people dress casually, but smart and never forget about rich accessories. But again, I didn’t just come to see brands around me; I came to watch tennis, obviously :)

By the way, in case you didn’t know, tennis as well as golf is the most prestigious and favorite sports by the rich and famous. So, if you haven’t got the basics yet, I advice you to sign up for the course of training in your local golf and tennis centers. Maybe on the early stage you will need to choose what do you like the most golf or tennis and then focus your efforts on one of them. I personally chose tennis, because it is fun and it helps you keep in shape, also I was playing tennis since I was a kid (thank you Mum and Dad for your smart investment in my rich future!), so it is just logical I play it. But, since I moved to Costa del Sol, Costa del Golf with numerous amazing golf valleys around me, I will definitely take some lessons in golf soon.

Ok, I’ve got a little bit distracted; I wanted to talk about Marbella Masters 2010 and Martina Hingis. As I have already mentioned before there are a lot of guys with titles in the tournament, and I must say that Richard Krajicek is a real sweetheart – tall and handsome, but the real star of the event is Martina Hingis!! I guess she is the one who attracted the most of the spectators! Guys please don’t get offended!

Read more about me taking autograph from Martina Hingis as well as major highlights of Maratina’s career in my post Martina Hingis – Rich Girl and Tennis Success! You will find a lot of interesting facts about Martina Hingis, like what are her favorite brands and more!!

I just love being here in Marbella, meeting successful rich girls and enjoying life.

Yours,

Rich Girl
