LAUREN POPE'S TOP FIVE MARBELLA NIGHTSPOTS
Aqua Mist. It has such cool little back room hidden away with a Jacuzzi in it, not that I've ever been in it, I dread to think whats gone on in there! But it's great just to go and have a look. They also get some good name DJs playing there which is right up my street.
La Sala. It's a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere, they have live singers in there. It's a bar as well, so you can go and eat yummy food then relax on the terrace with a few drinks.
Tibu. I've DJ'd here a few times and it's a great venue playing a mixture of house, R 'n' B and hip hop. Its pretty big and open late so if it's a big night you're after i'd suggest going here.
Nikki Beach. This is such a lovely and chic place to hang out, its a little bit away from the port which isn't a bad thing. It has a chilled out day vibe and then when it gets dark the party starts with dancers and entertainers and its really cool to dance the night away under the stars.
Pangea. It's an outside rooftop bar/club and its a great place to start your night. The music is a mix of everything and isn't too loud so its a great sociable place to catch up with your friends before gong to somewhere like Tibu.
