VIP Espana!

Holiday like a celeb in the playground of the rich, famous (and the wannabe famous!) in Marbella

With winter just around the corner you're probably packing away your bikini for another year. But stop right now! If you fancy soaking up the last of the sun, and living like a celebrity for a few days, head to Marbella in southern Spain for one last summer party...

WHERE TO STAY: The Don Carlos Hotel & Spa is fit for any discerning celeb with its designer furniture, mirrored walls, private beach and luxury spa. And if your numbers come up on the lottery, book into one of its recently opened Deluxe Villas, with private pools, a fleet of slaves (sorry, personal assistants) to cater for your every whim and even a helicopter pad.
For more information go to hoteldoncarlos.com.

WHAT TO DO: Party with the jet-set at Nikki Beach, Marbella's uber-cool beach club. Style and sophistication rule the roost at Nikki - one of the Top Ten beach clubs in the world.

During the day, chill out on the pristine white Balinese sun beds (no grotty loungers here!), sip on a delicious cocktail from the extensive menu and people-watch from behind your aviator shades.

Gascoigne and Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe have been spotted here. Then when the sun goes down, dance to the tunes spun by Nikki's DJs late into the night. Nikki's legendary closing party is on October 4th so be quick if you want to say goodbye to the summer in style!

WHERE TO SHOP: For some serious celeb-style shopping head to Puerto Banus. If it's in fashion you'll find it here. Luxury brands like Chanel and Gucci line the port, where multi-million pound boats are moored. But if your wallet can't quite stretch to designer prices try Cortes Ingles (Spain's most popular department store) where you can indulge your inner shopaholic without giving the bank manager a heart attack.

WHERE TO EAT: Tired and hungry after all the partying and shopping? Get down to Buddha Beach for seafood and champers at their al fresco restaurant. Tuck into a platter of fresh prawns and crab, or some delicious sushi, then enjoy a post-lunch snooze by their private pool. If that's not luxurious enough for you, book into their Oriental style spa for a relaxing Zen massage.
