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.
Celebs from Britain's Got Talent
judge Piers Morgan to Bianca

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.
