Marbella: Sacrilegious Medieval Decadence


We consider the Versailles of nightclubs to be a place called Olivia's in Marbella. The only nightclub in Marbella to legally allowed to operate, Olivia's proves that monopolies can work. The massive venue contains a restaurant, nightclub, private bar and gardens within its gothic castle like structure. It is Eyes Wide Shut meets sacrilegious medieval decadence. The main nightclub contains a sunken center dancefloor surrounded by beds, each with their own chandelier. Couches covered in white sheets and tables with wrought iron candlesticks are skilfully placed around the venue. The music reverberates with an cave-like effect off the building's stone structure. Women ungulate like dancers in one of those Bad Boys movies. To the back sits a wide bar illuminated by the club's centerpiece - a two story high stained glass window. Three of our jaded W4 correspondents were overwhelmed by the club and remain lost in its inner sanctum. The crowd is a mix of gorgeous German models, moneyed Spaniards and Europeans, a few high class ladies and of course as with any good nightclub a few dubious characters. Not to be missed if you are on the Costa Del Sol.
