Marbella, Spain

Swaths of Europe’s elite flock to Marbella, Spain, during the summer. Its Mediterranean beaches, Andalusian-style towns surrounding it, and upscale harbor side area Puerto Banús —known for its multi-million-dollar yachts and every hyper-luxe brand under the sun (think Gucci, Dior, Valentino, plus Dolce & Gabbana) — are just a few of many splendors that make up this dreamy Costa Del Sol oasis. With its whitewashed edifices redolent of Southern Spain’s villages and prime beachfront location, Marbella’s plush Puente Romano Beach Resort induces vacation vibes at all capacities. Make sure to book a treatment at the hotel’s tantalizing Six Senses Spa.
