Marbella is a city in southern Spain celebrities are known to frequent. Home to the world’s most expensive yacht dock, visitors can enjoy watching boats as big as their houses park on the Puerto Banus beach. The city features luxurious beach clubs and the legendary restaurant Villa Tiberio where celebrities Melanie Griffith, Sting, and Antonio Banderas enjoy kicking back. Since the 1970s, Marbella has been a playground for the rich and famous. It proudly features some of the best golf courses in Europe, world-class nightlife, and Michelin star restaurants. Although luxurious, the city is warm, charming, and welcoming, making it the most visited city in Spain. The beaches, shopping, museums, and festivals make the city the first choice for overworked celebrities in need of a break.

‘Marbs,’ the city’s playful nickname, is home to the infamous Marbella Club Hotel, where Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, and Cary Grant were recurring guests back in the day. It is a beachfront hotel with marble bathrooms, private outdoor pools, and rainfall showerheads. The hotel, which offers an off-site golf course, costs around one thousand dollars per night. Sean Connery famously owned a home in Marbella called Casa Malibu, located in San Pedro, and lived there for twenty years with his wife. The couple was known to host parties to entertain other celebrities including Richard Burton, George Best, Omar Sharif, and Michael Caine. American Idol judge Simon Cowell also owns a large villa in the Sierra Blanca area of the city.

Head to Central America for the next stunning celebrity destination.
