Champagne Spray Parties In Ocean Club Marbella

Summer season is finally here in Marbella! Last week all major beach clubs held amazing Grand Opening parties, which only means one thing – grab your bikinis, rich girls, and fly to Marbella for the unforgettable summer of your life. We are ready to party here.

It seems that this summer will be even more busy, than the previous one, which is great – more crowd, more fun! A lot of beautiful people already can be seen on the streets, in the port, on different parties and in the clubs. Katie Price and Leonardo Penna were spotted last Saturday having good time in Ocean Club. New clubs and cool places will open this summer – Chinawhite by Dreamers and restaurant and lounge dance bar El Gran Gatsby in Puerto Banus both will open on the 3rd of June. So, even more amazing places to visit and fall in love with. Go, Marbella!

One of the most famous parties here on the Costa del Sol is Champagne Spray Party, organized by Sintillate in Ocean Club. I already mentioned this party last year, you can read it here in case you missed it. But since Champagne Party is one of the major events of the summer here in Marbella it is worth to write about it more.

Champagne Spray Sunday Parties at Ocean Club organized by Sintillate are one of the most luxurious and fun parties during summer season in Marbella with rivers of expensive champagne, beautiful people, sun and music. Over 2000 bottles of Veuve Cliquot Champagne got sprayed throughout the party. The happy day in the sun starts at 11 a.m. and continues till the 8.00 p.m, when nobody wants to leave. Not only because it is such a great party, but also because some people just can’t walk. Imagine drinking champagne from 11 in the morning through the day under the hot Spanish sun and you can get the picture.

Ocean Club with it’s 9000 m2 is a really perfect venue for such parties, it was renovated in 2008 and now has the second largest swimming pool of its kind in Europe, a designer bar, a restaurant catering for 300 people, live DJs, entertainment, over-sized white leather beds, a massage zone and parking.

Legendary Sintillate Champagne Spray Sunday Parties are hosted at the end of every month during summer season. This year parties will take place on the following dates: 1.05; 29.05; 26.06; 31.07; 28.08. Some people go especially to Marbella because of Champagne Parties in Ocean Club. In case you want to experience it as well, better plan your vacation around these dates.

Bed prices for this event start at 395,00 € and go up to 3950 €! Entry ticket without a bed, but with one bottle of Veuve Clicquot costs 100 € and 125 € for the party in August.
It is always better to book your beds or entry tickets in advance, because they are sold out quickly, you can contact angie@sintillate.co.uk for all future bookings. To make sure that you won’t miss the party.

It is great to read about the party and see some pictures, but it is always much better to experience it yourself, right rich girls?!

Here is also a very high quality video about the parties organized by Sintillate in Marbella. Maybe you will manage to spot yourself there

What do you think about pool parties? Have you ever been to such parties here in Marbella or anywhere else around the Globe? Share your experience with us, we would love to hear from you!

Have an amazing summer!

Pizzeria Belvedere Puerto Banus Marbella

The weather is starting to get better and better every day here in Marbella and all I want to do is go out and enjoy the sun. I think Spring is the best time of the year here in Costa del Sol, because it is sunny, warm and not as extremely hot as it is in Summer, when you just can’t do anything other than sit in the places with good air conditioning.

I continue exploring my neighborhood with my precious companion – laptop Today we decided that we want to sit close to the Sea with amazing views, eat good pizza and drink coffee with milk. I had my wireless Internet with me, so I was not looking for a place with wifi, just good terrace with the Sea view, away from the cars and people (damn, I am starting to be antisocial).

I was walking down the Paseo Maritimo de Benabola and right on the corner I have found the perfect place called – Belvedere Pizzeria.

The terrace looked comfortable and modern with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

At first I just wanted to drink coffee and enjoy the view, watching small yachts and boats going out or entering the marina.

But after sitting in a total “Zen” mode for what felt like hours, I started to feel hungry and ordered pizza. Yes, I know this is not healthy and I was supposed to be on a diet. But I have an excuse, pizzas is Belvedere’s specialty and they cook them in a wooden-oven.

Pizza was amazing, I had no intention to eat the whole pizza by myself, but I haven’t actually noticed how my plate got empty so quickly. I blame it on the birds, they ate it all

On my way back home, I made a picture of the interior of Belvedere Pizzeria. Although, I doubt that anyone will want to sit inside on a sunny day, it still looks stylish. What do you think?

I really enjoyed my time, spent in Belvedere, it is a great place to go and drink a glass of something, especially now, when the weather is so magnificent! By the way, here is weather forecast for the next couple of days. Sunny!

What is the weather like in your city at the moment?

Yours,

Rich Girl

Babilonia Puerto Banus

Today my day started early, with painters knocking at my door at 10.00 in the morning. Argh, hate such early mornings with strangers in my house, doing something behind closed doors. Were they working there or just chilling?! Well, I guess they did something there, because after they left my apartment smelled like toxic waste. I couldn’t work in such conditions, so I decided to go out. Luckily the weather in Marbella is perfect now, it is warm and sunny, tourists are already wearing shorts and flip-flops, I wonder if they swim in the sea? So, it is almost a shame to sit at home, especially if you are not forced to spend certain hours in an office.

My mission for today was:

1 – do some shopping to lift my spirits after intrusion
2 – find cozy place, preferably with wifi, to work

Going shopping in Puerto Banus is a pleasure, because you can find almost any shop you want, except Chanel, here. And if you haven’t found what you need in boutiques around the marina, you can always head to El Courte Ingles, where you definitely find what you were looking for. So, shopping is fun here, the problem is to find a cozy cafe in Puerto Banus. We don’t have Starbucks, Costa Coffee or even something similar here. You can find a lot of expensive or affordable restaurants, sport bars, ice cream cafes, clubs, tasty sushi places, but what Puerto Banus is lacking in my opinion is a cozy cafe with exceptionally good coffee, relaxed atmosphere, selection of good deserts and free wifi. Place where you can go with your laptop and nobody will be annoyed of you occupying a table for a couple of hours with one coffee.

So, today I was searching for the perfect place to have a drink and have some undisturbed quality time with my laptop. And I found it on the front line in Puerto Banus, place called Babilonia. This bar have just been renovated. Now it is the latest stylish and yet cozy addition to the Linekers Group chain. Babilonia bar is a perfect place for lounging on the comfortable couches, watching marina and passer-by’s while sipping cocktails with friends and getting in the right mood for the party night.

They have very good cocktails and wifi in Babilonia, so today I have spent amazing few hours there and I will be back, for sure.

I hate taking pictures with my laptop camera, but today I was in a good mood (or just the cocktails kicked in), and here I am saying “Hi!” from Babilonia Bar Puerto Banus

I loved it in Babilonia and would definitely recommend this place. But still it is a bar, not a cafe, so if you know a nice coffee shop in Puerto Banus area, I would love to know about it and check it out while it is not that hot outside for coffee.

Come to Puerto Banus and have a good time!

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.

Loved the hall of the hotel.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Autumn days in Rich Girl’s Life

It is already November, but here in Marbella it still feels like summer – sunny and warm! The only difference from real summer here is that you can actually enjoy walking outside during daytime, instead of hiding in the air-conditioned places till dawn like a vampire and there are fewer tourists hanging around, which is fine by me.
As I already told you in my previous posts here on Rich Girl’s Blog, my laptop died in the end of September just one night before my trip to Monaco and as it is always hard for me to make a decision, it took me more than a month to actually get a new laptop. Now, I am a happy owner of the newest and coolest Acer model TimelineX, yeah!

I am loving it!! It is so thin, light and stylish, and battery holds more than 6 hours so, thanks to this cool feature I now write this post enjoying the sun and amazing views of Puerto Banus Marina and sipping my favorite Strawberry Daiquiri. And I finally will be able to post some pictures from my latest trips along with the stories.

As to my social life here on the Coast, just this Wednesday I attended Twitter networking event here in Nueva Andalucia. It was attended by a lot of Twitter users who live here in Spain or who happened to be here at this time. They said that this event will happen once in a month, so I am looking forward to go there next time as well. I can’t miss amazing cupcakes!

Also, I have finally found place to play in mix-ins tennis tournaments. Now every Saturday I play tennis for two hours with cool girls here on the Coast and after that enjoy drinks, tapas and live music with my rivals. After that I prefer to end Saturday night in my favorite venue in Puerto Banus – Seven! Yesterday, I was dancing there like this was the last night in my life!!! Amazing atmosphere and music.
One more cool thing that happened to me recently, I tried for the first time gelish manicure. It is awesome!! They told me that I can forget about my nails for 3 weeks now I will probably write about it a separate post, to prove you just how cool it is
Other than that, I am leading a quiet life in the greatest place in the world.

I hope you are having a great time and unforgettable Autumn! You know that you are always welcome to share your news with us, right?!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Eva Longoria Parker in Marbella, Spain

One more rich and famous girl visits Marbella this August 2010 “Desperate Housewife” star – Eva Longoria Parker! Eva visited Marbella for the first time last year with her husband and now she is back for the Starlight Gala which will take place on August 7 at the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella (the same place where Michelle Obama is staying)

.

Eva Longoria Parker will be co-hosting the charity event with Antonio Banderas, and as “Marbella Hot Magazine” is saying: “The guest list at the star studded event already includes tennis legend Boris Becker and model Adriana Karembeu.” And as Michelle Obama is staying at the same hotel where the event will take place, maybe she will make an appearance as well.

The Starlite Gala is a unique Annual International Charity Gala bringing together the worlds of business, celebrity and philanthropy to raise money to improve the quality of the lives of communities, families and children in need.. everywhere!

Here is the video I have found on Youtube.com where Eva Longoria is with her husband Tony Parker and Antonio Banderas talking to reporters before The Starlite Gala event. Eva Longoria and Antonio Banderas talk in Spanish in this video, but you can see how beautiful Eva Longoria is. She looked amazing in this pink dress. And I also love to see her speak Spanish. You know how in Desperate Housewives she once said to Carlos, her husband in TV series, that she doesn’t know the language Now, here is the proof that she does know Spanish.

Welcome to Marbella, Eva Longoria Parker!! I hope you will go out to party in Puerto Banus or Olivia Valere, this is where I will be this Saturday By the way, I really enjoy your part in “Desperate Housewives”

Update: A lot of cool pictures from the Starlite Charity Gala Event could be found here. Eva was looking fabulous in pink bejeweled dress.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Michelle Obama in Marbella, Spain

Hey, Rich Girls! Remember I was telling you in one of my previous posts that Marbella is a holiday spot for rich and famous girls (and of course not only girls, there are a lot of well-off guys here as well ) and I was not lying!! Guess who has chosen Marbella as a holiday destination this August?! The First Lady of the of the United States of America herself!! Now you believe me that Marbella is a hot and glamorous holiday spot?! I told you!
Michelle Obama and her her 9-year-old daughter Sasha arrived in Malaga airport in Spain on Wednesday (4th of August 2010) for a brief holiday with family friends!! How cool is that?!

Michelle Obama with friends will be staying in one of the premier luxury hotels in Marbella – the Hotel Villa Padierna.

Michelle Obama already visited the city center of Marbella and went for sightseeing in Granada. The White House says the first lady will also pay an official visit Sunday to King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia at their summer home on Mallorca.

So, I just wonder if Michelle Obama will come to Puerto Banus for a walk? Would be nice to see her there
I can’t believe my luck This is my first summer in Marbella and I have already witnessed Spain winning The World Cup celebration and now the visit of the First Lady! This summer Rocks!!

Yahooo, Rich Girls!! Spain is the World Cup Champion!

I am so excited! I only started to live here and Spain wins the FIFA World Cup 2010 for the first time, how cool is that?! You can’t possibly imagine what kind of celebration it was here in Spain! People were out on the streets with flags, happy and cheerful, congratulating each other; there were fireworks and music everywhere! It was just like New Years but only 100 times better!

I was watching the game with my friends in Marbella and then left to celebrate here in Puerto Banus. Well, I must say that Puerto Banus were celebrating the way it should be There were Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s and SLR driving around with flags on their roofs. It was kind of parade of cars and happy people going down Avenida de la Rivera. Have a look at the pictures!

It was a lot of fun and I was so happy to celebrate with Spanish people their long waited victory.

Viva Espania!!!

Yours,

Rich Girl
