Welcome...

TO THE MARBELLA COLLECTION - AUTUMN EDITION

Our Story....

The term ‘boutique agency’ describes a real estate company that eschews quantity in favour of quality and a more personal approach. At Callum Swan Realty, this is not just a slogan but the heart of the firm’s philosophy.

Founded by husband and wife team Callum and Louise Swan, the company is the culmination of their many years’ of experience in the Marbella real estate market. Louise was the commercial director of a large property company in Marbella, while Callum has always acted as a private consultant specialising in the luxury segment of the market.

They enjoyed success in their respective careers, but when founding their own agency, found that it wasn’t volume but quality of product and client service they aspired to. “Real estate, like any sector, is most noble and enjoyable when the process is personal and built around know­how, service and integrity – accompanied by efficiency and results,” says Callum.

As a result, these elements have become the building blocks of Callum Swan Realty, which in its approach to the business of real estate is the embodiment of a boutique agency. “Our service is designed around our understanding of what clients in the upper segments require, and as such is a more flexible, tailored process,” adds Louise.

“Whilst we work on the instruction of homeowners to market and sell their properties, when a potential homebuyer approaches us to find them a home we regard that as a consulting task, not a sales one,” says Callum. “Viewing what we do as a home finder brokerage service – the essential definition of a real estate agent – is a subtle detail but one that reflects an important difference in philosophy and approach.”

For this reason Callum Swan Realty doesn’t look or feel like a conventional property agency, and you’ll notice this when you enter the stylish office on Marbella’s Golden Mile. “For us it is important to spend our working day in an atmosphere that is professional but also pleasant and creative, and above all one where our clients feel welcomed and attended to personally by people who are professional, knowledgeable and committed to providing them with the results they seek.”

TIMING Happy Sport the First – The rebirth of the 1993 icon.

reated in 1993 in an innovative alliance between steel and diamonds, Happy Sport has survived almost three decades while preserving every ounce of its charm and modernity.

Chopard now presents Happy Sport the First: two 1,993 and 788­piece limited­edition re­releases of the very first watch presented when the collection was launched. They pay faithful homage to this icon, thanks to its legendary diamonds and its “pebble­link” bracelet, while adding major innovations: a new case in Lucent Steel A223 redesigned in a 33 mm diameter inspired by the principles of the golden ratio, as well as the Manufacture Chopard 09.01­C movement with automatic winding.

“I wanted a watch that I could wear all day long: at the gym, in the office or for a dinner in town.”

Caroline Scheufele

Flashback to 1993, when Caroline Scheufele, Chopard's Co­President and Artistic Director, captured the spirit of the era by devising a sports watch based on the unprecedented mingling of steel and diamonds.

Happy Sport was born of this bold vision. Since then, it has perpetually celebrated Joie de Vivre and a free­spirited approach daily reinvented by women to conquer the world in which they wish to live and become the woman they aspire to be. Thanks to dancing diamonds that are “happier when they are free” – as Caroline Scheufele’s mother exclaimed when she discovered the first prototype of this novel concept in 1976 – the Happy Sport watch stages a fascinating and perpetually creative show. One in which women play a starring role, since it is their own movements that breathe life into the dancing diamonds and this constantly recomposed scene. A powerful metaphor of the emancipatory momentum women experienced in the 20th century, the collection vividly reflects this vibrant life force and has lent itself ever since its debut to countless transformations.

An encounter between two icons of Joie de Vivre Who better to embody Joie de Vivre than the Hollywood star with the

“I am honoured to be collaborating with Chopard on the Happy Sport watch, one of the most iconic and desirable models in the industry.”

Julia Roberts

world’s most radiant smile? In the 1990s, Julia Roberts became one of the most accomplished actresses. Filmmakers and audiences around the world fell under the spell of her contagious laugh. After a series of movies that marked the decade, Julia Roberts was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2001. Equally acclaimed by critics for her roles in romantic comedies as well as in dramas, this true film legend was welcomed to the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 with a sense of honour and emotion. The first time she strode up the famous steps of the Palais de Festival in Cannes – barefoot and wearing an off­the­shoulder black dress highlighting a Chopard Haute Joaillerie emerald and diamond necklace – has become the most memorable red carpet staircase event in recent editions of the Festival thanks to Julia Robert’s naturally graceful demeanour. Since then, she has uniquely personified the ultimate free­ spirited woman.

No wonder that passionate film­lover Caroline Scheufele asked Julia Roberts to embody the face of the Happy Sport woman when launching new versions of this watch that has also become an icon. Said Caroline: “It was her and nobody else! Julia Roberts was the only person I felt could convey the spirit that I see in Happy Sport.”

Charmed by the boldness of the Happy Sport creations, Julia Roberts pointed out: “I am honoured to be collaborating with Chopard on the Happy Sport watch, one of the most iconic and desirable models in the industry.”

To orchestrate the encounter between Julia Roberts and Happy Sport, Caroline Scheufele entrusted the artistic direction of this new campaign to director Xavier Dolan. Renowned for the intensity with which he conveys his protagonists’ emotions through the camera, Xavier Dolan strove to show through a short film how Julia Roberts instinctively related to the Joie de Vivre inherent in Happy Sport watches. He also served as artistic director for a series of shots taken by photographer Shayne Laverdière. 4

The choice of Julia Roberts and Xavier Dolan also reflects Chopard's deep­felt attachment to the world of cinema. An official partner of the Cannes Film Festival since 1998, the Maison has been actively contributing to film production and the emergence of young talent, as evidenced by its Trophée Chopard, awarded each year to an up­and­ coming actress and actor. In the person of Julia Roberts, Chopard has chosen to express a kindred spirit with an undisputed movie icon, a veritable legend and a unique actress. One of the most talented directors in the world of contemporary cinema, Xavier Dolan on the other hand has had most of his films selected to compete at the Cannes Film Festival and other major cinema events.

BEACHFRONT

PARADISE Legendary Marbella Club, Andalusia’s most iconic beach resort, enters a new era

ounded by Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe in 1954, this now­legendary resort began its journey as a beautifully rustic beach club attracting the bold and the beautiful from Hollywood film stars to European royalty and nobility. The result of Prince Alfonso’s inexhaustible ‘joie de vivre’ was a carefree utopia that evolved organically from humble, playful intentions. Today this small slice of paradise has retained its original magic whilst evolving to become one of Europe’s most sought­after beach resorts but still filled with inimitable heart and soul and many exceptional characters it has collected along the way.

F

Situated in the heart of Andalusia’s ‘Golden Mile’, the Marbella Club has been under the helm of second­generation owners since 2011 who have set about sensitively modernising the resort with insightful vision and style whilst staying true to its original charm. The result is a timeless evolution where heritage and innovation work in perfect harmony.

QUICK FACTS ABOUT THE MARBELLA CLUB: Opening date: 1954 Accommodation: 35 rooms, 80 suites, 17 villas Restaurants: 6 restaurants including The Grill, MC Beach, Beach Club, El Patio, Garden Pool Snack Bar and Golf Club

Beginning life as a humble collection of rooms dotted around a patio and inspired by the then new age of Californian motels, the Marbella Club has evolved over time to include 115 rooms and suites, seventeen individually designed 2 to 6­bedroom villas and a variety of restaurants, bars and guest offerings to feel more like an Andalusian village, connected by bougainvillea­lined walkways and sun­soaked patios decorated with hand­ painted tiles. The Marbella Club is much­loved for its ‘perfectly imperfect’ approach where understated elegance and pared­back design features bespoke furnishings ­ some handmade by local artisans, others collected during the owners’ travels around neighbouring areas of Spain and Morocco ­ and a crisp, neutral décor opting for natural fibres, rich textures and contemporary fabrics. A carefully curated selection of art and photography fills the walls by artists such as Pablo Fernandez Pujol, Elisabeth Langford, Vicente Viudes and Martín Zerolo. Many images relay a bygone era of the party­filled decades when illustrious guests from Brigitte Bardot to Cary Grant and Grace Kelly enjoyed the fun and familiarity of the resort, as a place to switch off and indulge in total privacy without being ‘on show’. This ethos still very much remains.

Home to one of Europe’s most extensive and creative Kids Clubs, the Marbella Club offers an enchanting 5,000 square metre utopia for children set in the grounds of Prince Alfonso’s original family home. This converted farmhouse is where the magic of the Marbella Club originated and now provides a wholesome wonderland for children to get inspired and be creative. Group activities range from gazpacho­making and gardening to flamenco­yoga, archery, art upcycling and perfume making – all infused with the resort’s overarching ‘back­to­ basics’ philosophy.

activities such as hiking, cycling, horse­riding, tennis, golf and even skiing at its sister hotel El Lodge in the Sierra Nevada. And with over 60 years under its belt, the Marbella Club offers guests unrivalled access to the hidden treasures of Andalusian culture and cuisine from the hand­painted ceramics to locally sourced products.

Activities aside, the real allure of the Marbella Club lies in its boundless charm and the lively spirit that has evolved organically over time. It’s no surprise then to see three generations of families happily holidaying together without compromise; a testament to the owners’ commitment to maintaining the magic of its past whilst subtly innovating to meet the expectations of the modern traveller.

he Ladies European Tour has announced Spain will host the 2023 Solheim Cup at the world­ renowned championship course at Finca Cortesin, Andalucía. The 2023 event will take place from September 18­24.

T

Set to host the prestigious international women’s professional golf team event for the first time in the tournament’s history, Spain is no stranger to staging high­profile golf events with a rich history in both the men’s and women’s game, hosting the Ryder Cup in 1997 and staging 75 events on the LET and LETAS calendar including the season’s order of merit – The Race to Costa Del Sol. Following in the footsteps of Scotland as the most recent destination to host the memorable match­play competition on European soil in 2019 and Toledo, Ohio, which will stage the upcoming 2021 contest, Spain becomes the sixth European nation to play host to the greatest team event in women’s golf following previous countries including; Wales, Sweden, Ireland and Germany.

Located in the heart of the Costa del Sol in Andalucía, Finca Cortesin is world­renowned as an elite golfing destination, previously staging three Volvo World Match Play Championship’s as well as regularly featuring in the top five list of ‘best courses’ in Spain

by Golf World and Golf Digest magazines. It also recently enjoyed a comprehensive upgrade of all putting surfaces in 2017 and is known for its excellent condition of the fairways and greens and challenging course design, an ideal supplement to its attractive landscaping.

Speaking about the news, Ladies European Tour CEO, Alexandra Armas, said: “We are delighted to announce Spain as the host nation for the 2023 Solheim Cup when it returns to European soil for the 18th edition of this major international team golf event. Spain is a passionate golfing nation with knowledgeable fans and a history of developing generations of talented golfers while Andalucía’s strong cultural heritage will make for a unique experience for players, guests and supporters alike. The tournament will not only enhance the country’s reputation as an elite golfing nation but the Costa del Sol as a must­visit destination, which will help to inspire the next generation of children to take up the game.”

Spanish golfers have played an integral part of the tournament since the inaugural event was held in 1990, with as many as seven players representing Team Europe over the years – with only Sweden and England contributing more players to previous Solheim Cups. More recently, home favourite Carlota Ciganda has participated in the last four consecutive contests while Costa del Sol star Azahara Munoz also has four appearances to her name since making her debut in 2011.

Costa del Sol are joining the Global Partner family for the 2023 event, alongside PING and Rolex who are long­standing supporters of the Solheim Cup. Deporte & Business will stage the event, working alongside the Ladies European Tour to deliver all aspects of the tournament. Deporte & Business General Manager, Íñigo Aramburu, said: “It’s an honour getting the Solheim Cup for Spain.

Undoubtedly, a good understanding among all the institutions involved was a key factor. Andalucía, Costa del Sol, Acosol, the Marbella City Council, the Benahavís City Council and the Royal Spanish Golf Federation went hand in hand to achieve a milestone that will promote quality tourism in Andalucía, and that will highlight the Costa del Sol as an unbeatable destination for women’s golf. I would like to thank the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA Tour for the trust they placed in the Spanish bid.

“I can assure you we will try to host the best and most fun Solheim Cup in history. The Costa del Sol is a unique destination in the world and thanks to this event everybody will see it. I would also like to emphasize that the Solheim Cup venue, Finca Cortesin, is one of the best in Europe and its hotel has been ranked first in Spain and Portugal, so the teams will enjoy a world class hospitality in a spectacular setting.”

The upcoming 2021 Solheim Cup will be staged in Toledo, Ohio, 4th­6th September, with Team USA aiming to reclaim the trophy from Team Europe, who captured the 2019 edition with a spectacular putt on the last green in the final match of the singles.

The Solheim Cup was first staged in Florida in 1990 and named after club manufacturer Karsten Solheim, who was the driving force behind its inception. The Solheim Cup is contested between two teams of 12 players over three days. It follows the same format as The Ryder Cup, with 28 matches – eight foursomes and eight fourballs over the first two days and 12 singles on the final day. www.fincacortesin.com

When Rolls­Royce launched Cullinan three years ago, it did so in the knowledge that its customers around the world had asked it to build “The Rolls­Royce of SUVs”. Many of these customers were younger, very successful high­ net­worth individuals who are heavily engaged in the experience economy, and wanted a Rolls­ Royce that would take them to the ends of the Earth in ultimate luxury.

Automotive mobility has always been a fast moving and dynamic business, with new concepts – such as SUVs – appearing with great regularity. But those new concepts need to be perfected in order to be adopted by those customers who will accept no compromise – the patrons of true luxury. Hence the Rolls­Royce Cullinan.

“Our answer to the visionaries, adventurers, explorers and those who believe in the supremacy of liberty is the Rolls­Royce Cullinan.”

Müller-Ötvös

“History set our precedent, and today Rolls­Royce answers its call to action,” comments Müller­Ötvös. “Our answer to the visionaries, adventurers, explorers and those who believe in the supremacy of liberty is the Rolls­Royce Cullinan.”

The Rolls­Royce Cullinan is Rolls­Royce as it’s never seen before.

When Sir Henry Royce said, “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it”, he could have had Cullinan in mind.

“We knew we had to offer our clients what they couldn’t find in the SUV market,” continues Müller­Ötvös. “They do not accept limitations or compromises in their lives. They are the new pioneers, and for them it’s about their sense of adventure and daring in how they live their experiences. This approach to life demands a motor car that can go­ anywhere in ultimate luxury and style – Rolls­Royce style. Hence Cullinan.”

It was clear that these new, younger and more adventurous customers wanted a Rolls­Royce that would take them completely off the beaten track and reward them with life’s most enriching experiences. What they didn’t want was a vehicle as ubiquitous as an SUV with compromises such as increased cabin noise due to the “two­box” formula; shared platforms that affect performance and comfort; the choice of being good either on­road or off­road; or a lower, more featureless SUV that blends in and becomes just another car.

“Cullinan is luxury in its purest form blended with perfect practicality and off­road capability,” comments Müller­Ötvös. “Effortless, Everywhere is not just the promise behind Cullinan. It’s the fact.”

Living the dream, Rolls Royce in Marbella with Callum Swan Realty

The ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ taken off­road The integration of new technologies into the architecture was also key to ensuring the fundamental quality of Cullinan as Effortless, Everywhere. The engineering team began by creating a drivetrain that would bring Rolls­ Royce’s famous ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ off­road.

“The drivetrain system we engineered for Cullinan had one key job to do,” explains Caroline Krismer, Engineering Project Leader for Cullinan. “To bring the famed Rolls­ Royce ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ to all other terrains possible, while ensuring class­leading on­road behaviour in the SUV sector.”

Rolls­Royce’s celebrated Magic Carpet Ride impresses off­ road as well as on­road thanks to the new lighter architecture, and the latest generation of self­levelling air suspension. Through a thorough re­engineering of the existing air suspension system – including adding larger air struts with more air volume to cushion the blows of the toughest of terrains – the strengthening of drive and prop shafts, the inclusion of drive to the front wheels as well as the back for the first time in Rolls­Royce history, and the complete reworking of the new 6.75 litre twin­

turbo V12 Rolls­Royce engine to deliver just the right level of torque (850Nm) at the lowest possible revolutions (1,600rpm), the Rolls­Royce engineering team has ensured Cullinan will take owners to places no modern Rolls­Royce owner has travelled in luxury before.

The suspension makes millions of calculations every second as it continuously varies the electronically controlled shock absorber adjustment system – reacting to body and wheel acceleration, steering inputs and camera information. A new double­wishbone front axle and 5­link rear axle deliver astounding levels of control over lateral roll and shear forces and deliver incredible agility and stability, as does the addition of four­wheel steering, all contributing to incredible drivability and nimbleness.

In the case of driving off­road, the electronically controlled shock absorber adjustment system uses an air compression system to actively push down any wheel it detects losing traction to ensure every wheel is constantly in contact with the ground and maximum torque is being provided to all wheels.

w w w. c a l l u m s w a n r e a l t y . c o m

|

85

“Put simply, what makes the car great on­road makes the car great off­road,” concludes Krismer.

The final piece of the puzzle of ensuring that the Rolls­Royce Cullinan is Effortless, Everywhere is one single button. Known within Rolls­Royce as the ‘Everywhere’ button, one single push is all it takes to harness all the aforementioned peerless Rolls­Royce engineering and unleash all of Cullinan’s off­road capability.

Once engaged, the driver can finesse the off­road setting to glide over any situation, whether it be rough track, gravel, wet grass, mud, snow or sand delivering all 850Nm of torque to all four wheels without interruption. And faced with deep snow, sand or the need to ford streams, Cullinan delivers the deepest wading depth of any super­luxury SUV at 540mm thanks to its highest ride height.

One life, many lifestyles Driving to your remote location is simply the first part of the adventure in a Rolls­Royce Cullinan. Further enjoyment awaits in the shape of a Rolls­Royce Recreation Module.

Imagine the scene. Having chosen your adventure you call down to your garage. “Jason, we’re going to go drone racing today. Can you load the Drone Module into the Cullinan?” Downstairs, Jason selects the Drone Racing Module from the rack containing several other Recreation Modules that the owner has had commissioned from Rolls­Royce to satisfy his or her preferred recreational pursuits.

Fly fishing, photography, rock climbing, snowboarding, parascending, kite boarding, base jumping, volcano boarding or simply sitting and taking in the view, anything is possible thanks to the Rolls­Royce Bespoke Collective. Easily slotted and plugged into the boot of Cullinan, each Recreation Module contains a motorised drawer housing the equipment and paraphernalia specific to each Cullinan owner’s pursuits. When the owner is ready to play, it presents itself.

Born in Athens, Greece, Manousou learned how to deal with the pressures of high demand in the kitchen from early on with her first round of training taking place at the Olympic Village during the 2004 Olympic Games. Attaining a veritable wealth of European culinary tradition, Manousou quickly worked her way up through the ranks at such gastronomic institutions as El Bandoneon (Athens), Kapsali Restaurant (Australia) and the Robinson Club Lyttos Beach (Crete).

After moving back to Athens in 2009, Manousou started at Matsuhisa Athens Restaurant and then worked as Chef at the Nobu Dubai in Atlantis The Palm Hotel from 2013 to 2017. Upon starting at Nobu Hotel Marbella in 2017, Manousou reflects, “The most important standard of Nobu San is that you cook from the heart. That was the first thing I learned, the second being respect for the ingredients”.

Through her insatiable knowledge of the Japanese gastronomic, Manousou fast created a name for herself within the Nobu brand, forging a long­lasting bond.

was super creative; I am creative but also classical. And my grandmother because she was the root of my knowledge. I wished she could have seen my career progress but unfortunately, she passed away before I became a chef. All my memories are with her in the kitchen, helping her out.

How did your Nobu venture begin?

I’m Greek, so I started working with Matsuhisa Athens.

It’s the same company as Nobu, but different partners.

Matsuhisa is the personal company of the founder and chef, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, and Nobu is the company he has with Robert de Niro and other partners all over the world, like here in Puente Romano Beach Resort. I began in Matsuhisa Athens, then I moved to Dubai, and from Dubai I moved here to Spain. During those ten years I did a lot of promotions for the company, in Morocco, Turkey, Paris, Slovakia… all around the world.

How did you end up in Nobu?

By luck! (laughs) I was supposed to start working with another company, but a friend suggested a trial with Matsuhisa. A few days later I was offered to work in Nobu on a starter/bottom position. This was in 2010.

From my previous culinary work with a German chain I was intrigued by the Asian cuisine, when I was offered Nobu I was delighted, even though I didn’t even know what soya was! As soon as I began at Nobu I started researching the cuisine and did all my homework to learn everything I could.

When did you first realize that you wanted to become a chef?

Cooking was my hobby; I didn’t consider it professionally when I was younger. I was trying to enter the army. I also used to be an athlete, but I had problems with back injuries that forced my retirement and so I started to think about entering the navy. The idea of following strict standards always appealed to me. I did the exams, and during this period, my mother asked me what I wanted to do, so I decided to take up my hobby and become a chef. We have a lot of cooks in our family, so it was relatively easy for me. My mother was quite surprised with my rapid ascent and success. The kitchen and the army, with the obvious differences, also have a lot in common. In both we go to war… different kind of wars (laughs).

Who was the most important culinary influence in your life before chef Nobu?

My grandmother and my mother were the two best chefs I have met in my life. I will never eat something that is at the creative level of my mother’s cooking. She

Tell us a little about your experience in Marbella working in Nobu Hotel...

Marbella is a little paradise for me. The freshness of the sea produce and its availability in southern Spain is something you can’t just find in any country (only around the Mediterranean), so I’m very grateful for that. The quality is amazing here. You can’t create something from nothing, cook a Sashimi or a fish with a dash of salt and olive oil and it doesn’t need anything else. In Dubai, it’s all imported from abroad, so Spain is fresh produce heaven for me.

Tell us something people don’t know about sushi…

What I have learnt over the last few years is that Sushi doesn’t need the amount of soy and wasabi you may think. It only needs a touch of both, and then you brush the soy on the fish, not on the rice, and the wasabi should be in the fish, like we do with nigiri, not in the rice. Once the Nigiri is lightly brushed with the soy on the side of the sashimi, you eat it with the fish on the side of the tongue. So, you eat nigiri upside down in a sense. www.noburestaurants.com
