Six Senses Spa Marbella

Six Senses Spa at Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa
 Six Senses Spa with Dr. Oz

Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa, together with Six Senses, presents a spa that has been beautifully created to complement the resort's charming and peaceful Andalusia beachfront village character and setting in the southern coast of Spain. Last week, Six Senses Spa brought the famous Dr. Oz to Marbella to talk about health and well-being!

Meeting and interviewing Dr. Oz at Puente Romano Six Senses SPA was one of the highlights of the summer 2015 that gave me so much good energy and motivation to keep doing what I do and confirmed that I am on the right way!

Les Cubes Marbella

Les Cubes

Les Cubes is an experience in four dimensions: C'est la vie, Kalinka Malinka, and a lounge bar To Be or Not to Be.

Les Cubes has a special cheese cellar with more than 20 national and international references. Our cheese platters are modified according to the availability of certain certificates of origin. We serve cheese with homemade tomato jam, dates, honey, nuts, and gingerbread cookies. A special way to end a meal!

Ladislao Comins is the chef of Les Cubes.

Cavalli Club and Lounge Puerto Banus

Inspired by and launched in collaboration with the celebrated designer, Roberto Cavalli, Cavalli Club is the distillation of all things fabulous.

As you enter the main room, you are greeted by Cavalli's modern lounge which embodies the glamorous soul of the designer, hosting exclusive and fashionable parties where guests can sip on Roberto Cavalli Vodka-based cocktails. The pleasure of listening to enjoyable music, accompanied by great food and good company in an elegant and sophisticated setting… This is the philosophy of the Cavalli Club Lounge!

I would also like to mention the opening of JAM Puerto Banus, an Italian restaurant and bar offering home-made pasta; Marbella Pizza Kitchen, offering authentic wood oven pizza, Nutella pizza, and one of the best tiramisu I have ever tried; UNI, ex-Namazake; and Suite Nightclub, surrounded by six different restaurants in the Plaza Village of Puente Romano Beach Resort and Spa.

La Sala venues have been busier then ever, offering everyday live entertainment, fashion shows, excellent food, healthy breakfasts, and on top of everything, vallet parking! 

Last but not least, the social highlights was the Global Gift Gala with Eva Longoria. It was the meeting point for all the members of the philantrophic community all over the world, with María Bravo and Alina Peralta hosting, as well as such celebrities as Eva Longoria, honorary chair, Amaury Nolasco, Eva La Rue (Karen Millen), Caterina López, JJ Humblett's girlfriend, Descemer Bueno, Fabiola Martínez, and Bertin Osborne's daughters, Alejandra and Claudia Osborne.

July 2015 was a month of parties at private mansions and on boats, fashions shows, dinners, and party nights. Also, I was blessed to be surrounded by my family and children. A truly perfect summer time to spend in Marbella. Thank you everyone who has been part of this wonderful journey!
