An A-Lister’s Guide to Spain

Roll out the red carpet for an A-lister’s escape. From iconic shopping spots to the most exclusive restaurants, Spain ticks all the boxes for an elite retreat. You don’t have to be famous to live the celebrity lifestyle, but a healthy bank balance will certainly work in your favour! Here is our guide to living the Spanish life of luxury…

Swankiest restaurants

You don’t get much more exclusive than Tenerife’s Jardin, and with only ten tables, you’d better get in quick. You’ll get the real fine dining experience here, with traditional dishes taking on a modern twist. The setting is romantic, so couples can enjoy extravagant cuisine, while surrounded by opulent décor and plush fabrics.

If you’re in Barcelona, Uma is top of the list. As Barcelona’s best restaurant*; this is a place that is not to be missed, with deconstructed delights that will stimulate your senses. Look into booking well ahead of your trip, or you may miss out!

Coolest clubs

If you are looking for the iconic clubbing experience, Ibiza is the first port of call. Home to some of the biggest clubs for dance music, this beautiful island offers an idyllic setting for some A-list nights out. Be sure to book tickets in advance for the likes of Amnesia and Space, as entry to these is in high demand.

You’ll find loads of first-class clubs in Marbella too. Nikki Beach holds some huge parties throughout the summer season, with the opening and closing parties known the world over.

Best beaches

Spain is home to some truly beautiful beaches, so whether you prefer peace and quiet, or to be at the heart of the action, there’s always a stretch of sand with your name on it. Party animals head to Playa d’en Bossa for the perfect balance between stunning sands and clubs on hand.

Mallorca is dotted with breathtaking beaches that are ideal for relaxing. Cala Agulla beach in Cala Ratjada is surrounded by eye-catching greenery, while the turquoise waters are sure to amaze.

Hottest hotels

You won’t have to travel far to discover high-class hotels in Spain. If you’re in Tenerife, then Hotel Botanico will offer your very own slice of luxury. The lavish furnishings, stylish suites and unbelievable views will leave you in awe.

The Radisson Blu Resort in Gran Canaria is set in a beautiful beachfront location and is known for its great facilities, including a rooftop restaurant. Choose a Junior or Superior Suite for extra indulgence.
