With the onslaught of hen and stag nights as well as the Only Way is Marbs , Marbella has had some bad press in the previous years. I love Marbella, it has lots to do for children, the shopping is fabulous and you are spoilt  for choice on restaurants. There are so many flights it is convenient and cheap to fly to . The Spanish love children so that makes life easy too.

 

1) There are so many restaurants and these are the ones we go back to year in year out

  • Casanis in the Marbella old town, it is my favourite restaurant you must sit outside on the street, people watching.  The service is faultless and the food divine.
  • Zozoi is also in the old town, I would ask for a table in either the front or back courtyard. Amazing food and great for kids too as serve Pizza.
  • The Beach House is a British run restaurant and you eat facing the sea. They run great concerts during the summer and have live music on a Sunday. We find it great as the children can play on the beach while we finish off our meal in peace . You can also shop while you eat and they have the best beach traders.
  • Finca Besaya, is in the hills above the Port and has a lovely rustic feel, they have dancing and a great place to party.
  • Have lunch at La Sala, Puerta Banus not for children but a place to see and be seen.
  • For sea views  we love Trocadero , Suite Del Mar and Los Sardinales  they are all on the beach they get busy so book ahead.
  • A must visit is also Nikki Beach , this is the Don Carlos hotel and a lovely way to spend an afternoon They now have a pool which has just opened.
  • An old favourite is Villa Tiberio, it is old style glamour and the service is out of this world. Have a drink in the courtyard and sit outside on the terrace. The children can run around in the gardens and they have a pianist.
  • If you go to Puerta Banus and you should just to see the hype, there is a lovely restaurant called Los Banditos which serves great fish.

3) As you all know I love to shop and of course there is Puerte Banus with all its designer stores but I would recommend the following

  • Visit La Canada , a great Mall with all the brands including Abercrombie and Fitch, take a look at Bimba and Lola and Uterique great Spanish brands. They also have a bowling alley.
  • I never come out of the boutique by the Puente Romano Hotel empty handed, they have a great range of brands such as Isabel Marant . The shop by the beach at the Marbella Club is a fantastic source of beachwear for adults and children.

3) As for hair and beauty:

  • I love Milk and Roses at the Puente Romano Hotel, there is a great hairdresser attached to the Hotel I have used for years.
  • Ana at the Hotel Los Monteros is also amazing for hair 622479533

4) For kids the choice is limitless

  • Mine do tennis camp at the Royal Marbella Tennis Club in El Rosario they run tennis camps which my children love, they have a lovely Universal Pilates Studio, (elrosario@universalpilates.es)  it is so convenient to do a lesson while the children play.
  • There is a softplay centre at La Canada by the underground carpark, I would often let my children play there while I shop
  • If you want a bigger softplay go to Galaxia
  • A lovely outing is to Cabel car at Benelmedena  on the top they have a bird sanctuary. The dolfinarium in Benelmedena is also worth a visit. They also run summer camps for children to spend a day looking after the Dolfins, I have booked my two in.
  • Tivoli World is a must, Spains version of Disney  and also the Waterpark at Fuengirola

 

Marbella bling

If you want to do a day trip, drive to Tarifa it is one of the most beautiful beaches and towns in Spain, its great for people who like wind surfing. If you decide to stay down there for a night I would recommend Hurricane hotel Tarifa, its gorgeous

 

Also if you need a reliable person to pick or drop you to the airport, we have used Carlos for years he has never let us down

I absolutely LOVE working but 2023 is about more of a balance for me❤️
Whether it is making time for exercise or a chat on the phone 📞 
Or just lighting that candle / pouring a glass of wine and kicking back. 
Same with my kids great book from @claudiawinkle and she says the best thing you can do for your teenagers is to let them SLEEP 💤
I really have stopped buying mid level brands and either wait for the sales or buy preloved.

 It takes a bit more time but it is worth it ❤️
We have lots of styling  on our instagram stories to help you decide 
10% off your first order ( exceptions apply)

This Balenciaga dress is one of my first preloved buys is over 8 years old and I still wear it.

As evening wear is worn so seldom it is much better to buy it preowned.

We have a huge edit from #Gucci to #roksanda all so well priced and ready to ship. 

We have individual videos and measurements on line to help you choose ❤️
Often cheaper than renting and you can go up the brand ladder and afford top brands as evening wear does not hold its value.

Pricing ! So important to realise that when you come to resell items it is a BUYERS market.

It is irrelevant what we paid it is only worth what someone is willing to lay out. 

Most of us are selling pieces we bought in the wrong size / don’t suit us or fit or just bored . 
My own personal view is once I have decided to sell it I want it GONE
I try to learn but getting something back is better than having it blocking up 🆙 your wardrobe. Or donate it if you can afford to. Lots of our clients help us support @royaltrinityhospice or the #salvationarmy

Bottega Veneta- truly resilient to wear and tear 

So many other brands stretch and wear so badly but in my experience Bottega bags don’t .
This is a real FIND - now £459 as new a real investment given that the new piece’s retail at over £2k

One of the only influencers I truly ADORE ❤️and actually buy the pieces she recommends that work on me. 

@monikh has a gorgeous contemporary yet feminine sense of style and definitely one to watch ! 
@monikh always looks comfortable and you know she doesn’t just put on an outfit for a photo. 
Not to mention the fact that she brings something new and doesn’t just follow the usual instagram trends.
I have learned from her about the subtle use of colour to add softness and compliment any outfit. 
We have put together a preloved edit from our store @relovedagain
