Exclusive Chelsea members only nightclub Raffles is launching in Marbella this summer.
The Kings Road based venue, made famous by enlisting top celebrities, royals and politicians, is heading for warmer shores this summer season and has found a much sought after prime spot in the heart of Puerto Banus to open Raffles Marbella, its first overseas venture since launch 45 years ago. Design plans for the venue near the Corte Ingles Marbella are being finalised with construction due to start shortly.
Previous Raffles Chelsea members include The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Barbara Streisand, Vivienne Westwood and Princess Margaret to name (drop) but a few!
Marbella has long been been synonymous with entertaining the rich and famous so a move like this can only be good news for the chic Raffles brand and, of course, the high end Marbella residents that choose to live and party here.
Kalid Virani, MD of Raffles, spoke exclusively to Marbella Rocks on their impending move: “Raffles Chelsea is very excited to become the latest addition to the Marbella social scene. We have chosen Marbella as our first foreign outpost with plans to open further locations in the US and the Middle East over the next 36 months. Many Raffles Chelsea members have second homes in Marbella and there is a need for high end restaurant bar and club concept so it was a natural fit!”
