1Life was born out of the demand from certain clients we began working with. My connection with nature and the passion for sports that I share with my child led to the creation of something meaningful—something that blends our love for the outdoors and healthy living.
We have to recognize that we only have one life to enjoy new experiences, especially in the great outdoors, where nature, sport, and sustainability come together. At 1Life, we aim to offer sustainable experiences that allow people to connect with nature without leaving a negative impact on the environment.
During challenging times, such as the pandemic, we realized we needed to create a sports product that not only delivered quality but also emphasized the importance of valuing the environment. We differentiate ourselves from other companies by focusing on customer service and creating unique experiences. Unlike others, we don’t just offer the same sports activities; we specialize in unique experiences in golf, padel, and skiing that genuinely surprise our clients.
We focus on offering destinations that are off the beaten path—pristine, lesser-known places that aren’t typically found on the usual travel lists. Our goal is to surprise our clients with unique, high-quality experiences in these hidden gems, all at fair and transparent prices.
Our ideal client is someone who loves sports, values life, and appreciates the beauty of nature. We focus on offering highly personalized experiences during specific times of the year, catering to a select clientele who seeks quality over quantity.
It’s challenging because I’m young, but not so young anymore. At 33, I’m certainly not competing with the big names in the sports market. Starting a business is tough

in any sector, but you have to be daring and strive to be different. I don’t aim to be better than anyone else—not the big gym chains, sports complexes, or travel agencies. Instead, I focus on working every day to offer something unique. As a feminist, I’m committed to creating experiences that set us apart.
Experience skiing in a whole new way at exclusive resorts that few have had the privilege of visiting. Our ski trips take you to hidden destinations, far from the crowds and surrounded by untouched landscapes.

Meet the Entrepreneurs with a Cause
Marbella is becoming a hub for forward thinking businesses with a conscience. From green energy to promoting change in social projects, we interviewed three entrepreneurs who are making a difference.
MICHAEL LEJA, Founder and CEO of Kerrbon Group
After spending over 50 years witnessing the gradual degradation of the local ecosystem by forest fires and Climate change, Michael Leja, CEO of Kerrbon Group, decided it was time to make a difference. “I want to leave a legacy of Regeneration of the Andalucian Ecosystem for future generations,” he shares, a sentiment that drives the company’s mission.
Kerrbon Group addresses climate change through innovative agricultural and Forestry practices with advanced pyrolysis technology, transforming forestry waste wood biomass into premium biochar and wood vinegar. This process not only sequesters carbon but also enhances soil health and many other factors contributing to environmental sustainability. The company is also involved in legitimate Carbon Offset and Reduction Credits (CORCs) in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, NOX gases, and CO2.
In addition to these efforts, Kerrbon Group focuses on agricultural and forestry land recovery, water conservation, and alternative power solutions. By leveraging advanced pyrolysis technology, they aim to address critical environmental challenges by transforming waste wood biomass into high-quality biochar and wood vinegar, thereby improving soil health and enhancing carbon sequestration.
Currently in discussions with the Junta de Andalucía and already attracting strong interest from investors, Kerrbon Group is set to be a lucrative investment opportunity. The company’s unique pyrolysis technology is the only one of its kind in the world, offering companies the chance to offset Carbon Credits while providing long-term value. Moreover, this investment contributes to Regeneration of our Ecosystem and job creation for the protection of future generations.
Kerrbon Group is currently seeking a greenfield, pre-seed investment of 750,000€. VC and Private Investors interested in Clean Green Tech are invited to join this mission.

Lucas Heremans is transforming the construction industry with a strong commitment to sustainability and design excellence. As the visionary behind Elysium Builders and Elysium Invest, Lucas combines good taste with eco-friendly practices, setting a new standard for sustainable development.
A Belgian national with long term connections to the Marbella area, Lucas chose to base his company Elysium in Spain, with a beautiful office in Estepona, because of the potential in the market as well as the obvious reasons like the climate, the proximity to the international airport and the fantastic quality of life in the region.
Elysium’s projects blend modernity with durability and organic styling.
His approach is based on three key focuses:
1. WATER: Partnering with a leading engineer from Australia, Lucas integrates advanced water filtration and reusable water systems into his projects. This is especially critical in Andalusia, where water shortages are a growing concern. His eco-friendly solutions extend to pools and garden irrigation, ensuring water conservation and efficiency.
2. RESPECT FOR NATURE: Lucas’s projects prioritize green spaces and are thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with their surroundings. He places a strong emphasis on respecting the character and soul of the neighbourhoods where his developments are located, creating spaces that enhance rather than disrupt the natural environment.
3. ELECTRICITY: Committed to reducing energy consumption, Lucas incorporates the latest technology into his designs, including solar panels and heat pumps. These innovations significantly lower electricity usage, making his buildings both sustainable and cost-efficient.
With ongoing projects in Estepona and Benahavís, Lucas Heremans demonstrates that sustainable construction can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The work of Elysium is a testament to how thoughtful design and a commitment to environmental responsibility can drive positive change in the industry.

Why
For those who haven’t seen the news yet, the Top Entrepreneurs Marbella network just got even better. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Dr. Masha Malka, who is now the official coach of the Top Entrepreneurs Marbella.
Dr. Masha Malka embodies the qualities we all seek in a coach: expertise, integrity, and a profound understanding of the entrepreneurial mindset. She was not just the first coach in Marbella but also a pioneer in guiding top-level entrepreneurs around the globe to reach their highest potential. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Malka has delivered thousands of hours of transformative coaching, consistently achieving remarkable results for her clients.
For our business, this partnership is more than just a tactical campaign—it’s a long-term, strategic association. We first met Dr. Masha Malka before our last gala, and we were immediately captivated by her story and impressive background. As our conversations deepened, it became clear that integrating her into our network was the natural next step, creating a mutually beneficial collaboration. We saw several of our members gravitating towards her masterclasses and enrolling in her coaching programs, clearly resonating with her insights and guidance. Realizing the strong synergy, we knew this was an opportunity we had to seize and build upon.
This partnership goes beyond just titles; it’s a collaboration that promises tangible benefits. On one hand, we reward those in our network who commit to long-term growth, while on the other, we aim to leverage Dr. Masha’s unique skills to further elevate our own organization. One thing is for sure, we are excited where it will lead, and if we can get even half of the results that Dr. Masha has achieved with other clients, we are extremely excited for the future!

“Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”
~ COCO CHANEL
Meet Dr. Masha Malka, a coach with purpose. Dr. Malka ensures her clients are not just moving fast, but moving in the right direction. Here’s how:
Dr. Malka’s bestselling book helps you learn how to master your emotions, make them your friends, and understand the messages that they bring to help you grow, expand and get in touch with your true self. Every emotion has its place and its reason for being; however, what we do with those emotions is what needs to be mastered so that you can then navigate your life to have the kind of experiences that you most desire.
Dr. Malka’s approach transcends traditional coaching techniques. She delves into the subconscious mind, responsible for 95% of our actions, to reprogram limiting beliefs and reinforce desired changes. Her credentials are as diverse as they are impressive: a Doctorate in Entrepreneurship, a Yale certificate in the Science of Happiness, a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and a Master’s in Higher Education. Additionally, she holds certifications in Change Management, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), NLP, Transformational Thinking, and more. Dr. Malka’s commitment to lifelong learning ensures she remains at the forefront of her field, continually upgrading her knowledge to maximize human potential.
As a six-year member of the Forbes Coaching Council, Dr. Malka is recognized for her thought leadership and unwavering dedication to helping entrepreneurs overcome complex challenges. She excels in helping her clients clarify and structure their dreams, enabling them to unlock their full potential and live purposeful lives. Her coaching addresses common entrepreneurial struggles, such as maintaining focus and motivation, achieving work-life balance, managing time effectively, and becoming the best leaders they can be.
Dr. Malka’s clients are typically entrepreneurs and company owners grappling with the everyday challenges of running a business: staying motivated, balancing work and life, managing time, and leading teams effectively. She understands the toll these challenges can take, often leading to frustration, stagnation, and burnout. That’s where her unique coaching style comes in. By asking the right questions and offering new perspectives, she helps her clients break free from the comfort zones that hold them back. As Coco Chanel famously said, “Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”
The impact of Masha’s coaching is profound and enduring. Clients frequently report breakthroughs such as finding creative solutions to persistent problems, restoring key relationships, building powerful alliances, improving health, articulating their visions more clearly, and regaining confidence and motivation. Dr. Malka’s approach is designed to guide clients away from negative emotions like frustration
and burnout, toward a state of clarity, confidence, and transformation.
One of the standout features of Dr. Malka’s coaching is the long-term value it provides. With over two decades of experience, she has coached individuals who continue to attest to the lasting impact of her guidance. Her coaching delivers not only immediate results but also exponential growth, affecting not just her clients but everyone around them.
Dr. Malka’s Elite Success Accelerator Coaching and Mentoring programme is a personalized, step-by-step journey where clients create a blueprint with precisely defined action steps to achieve their most important goals. The programme includes an accountability system and mindset adjustments, working on both conscious and subconscious levels to ensure sustainable success. It’s specifically designed to help entrepreneurs gain clarity about their direction, understand their core values, and progress toward their goals without compromising their health, relationships, or quality of life.
With Dr. Masha Malka as our official coach, Top Entrepreneurs Marbella is not just about business growth, it’s about transformative success.

Dr. Masha Malka, our official coach, answers your questions about mindset, mastering your emotions and striving for success.
I never thought I’d find myself in this situation, but lately, I’ve been feeling stuck—like I’m running on a hamster wheel, and my life just isn’t flowing the way it used to. What can I do to get back on track and feel excited to get up in the morning? Thank you!
AThank you for your question!
Feeling stuck, especially when you’ve been in a place that worked well for a while, is completely normal. Often, the biggest obstacle to “great” is “good enough.”
The comfort zone, which we easily fall into, prevents us from reaching new heights and unlocking our potential. Why? Simply put, leaving the comfort
zone is uncomfortable, and the unknown can feel daunting. As humans, we instinctively avoid discomfort, pain, and uncertainty, clinging to what’s familiar. We only change when staying the same becomes unbearable.
Why wait for that point? Embrace the fact that change is both inevitable and necessary—however, suffering through it is optional.
The world is constantly evolving, and unless you evolve with it, you risk being left behind, which inevitably leads to frustration. By accepting change as the only constant and letting go of what’s familiar, you will break free of the struggle and flow with life instead.
Whenever I find myself in a place of suffering, I ask myself, “What am I resisting?” Resistance usually signals that something is no longer serving us and that it’s time to move on.
Ask yourself that same question: “What am I resisting?” Once you identify it and let go of the need to hold on, the suffering stops, and life flows again.
Don’t be afraid of change, or of changing yourself. Step out of your comfort zone and trust that all change is ultimately for the better. When you embrace your “inner power,” you’ll wake up each morning with excitement, feeling good about yourself and the new life you are consciously creating.

“Your thoughts determine your reality. If you think you can’t do something, you probably won’t be able to do it. This is part of your paradigm, a set of limiting beliefs that we develop as we grow up.”
Ross Garcia
Ross Garcia discusses the development if this paradigm in detail and how we can overcome the persistent little nagging voice in our heads that tells us that we can’t do something. He presents transformative and inspirational ideas from the legendary New Thought Leader Bob Proctor, from his books and lectures, and Ross tells his own personal story about how he converted failure into success by thinking about it differently and taking action. Learn how you, too, can eradicate that little voice in your head that tells you, “I can’t” by replacing it with “I CAN”.
Ross Garcia’s The Profit Express is not only a fascinating story of personal success, but also a convenient guide for anyone who feels a lack of direction or inspiration. By following the useful guidance provided in this book, one will come away with the practical steps needed to establish a goal and achieve it! AT TIMES IN LIFE, WE SIMPLY DON’T AIM HIGH ENOUGH. WE SET SMALL GOALS THAT DON’T CHALLENGE US - goals we know we can reach. However, as Ross Garcia shows through his personal story, setting a goal that perhaps seems out of reach is exactly the faith-requiring factor that pushes us to success. In one touching story, Ross recounts meeting with his sister Ella over dinner, where she expresses her goal of making $100,000 per year. Ross challenges her, and before dinner was finished, the goal had been elevated from $100,000 per year to $100,000 per month! This isn’t far from the goal Ross had set for himself only a few years before, which he reached exactly to the day. With advice from legends in the field such as Napoleon Hill, Bob Proctor, and others, The Profit Express is packed with positivity. Author, entrepreneur, and overall success-story Ross Garcia is the very picture of achievement. How did he reach his millions? He’s here to share his secrets to success and set you off on your own journey! Are you ready to hop on The Profit Express?

When it comes to navigating the world of high-end financial advisory, few do it as effectively and passionately as Tobias Heyden from Nowinta. We had the pleasure of meeting Tobias, a seasoned asset manager and financial advisor who joined the Nowinta team in 2018, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his previous work in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain.
Tobias’s career began within the walls of some of Europe’s most prestigious banks, but his passion for offering personalized financial services found its true home at Nowinta. With over 30 years of collective experience, Nowinta is known for its exclusive focus on delivering tailormade financial solutions for Marbella’s affluent residents. Unlike large financial institutions, Nowinta prides itself on understanding the specific needs of its clients, most of whom come through word-of-mouth recommendations - testament to the trust and satisfaction they’ve earned over the years.
In the world of high-net-worth financial advisory, relationships are everything. Tobias hit the ground running by inheriting a client portfolio from a bank in Gibraltar, and since then, he’s grown his network through referrals, lawyers, and even local golf tournaments. His commitment to building genuine connections doesn’t stop at the office either. Tobias is a proud member of the Lions Club and actively organizes golf tournaments - a hobby that not only demonstrates his love for the sport but also helps him meet potential clients in a relaxed, personable setting.
One of the key pillars of Tobias’s philosophy is the importance of listening - understanding a client’s unique circumstances and tailoring solutions to meet those needs. His rich and varied background across different financial sectors allows him to create bespoke financial strategies for each individual, ensuring their
financial goals are met efficiently. With Tobias, every client feels like they’re his top priority.
In a market where financial advisors often have vested interests tied to banks or investment funds, Tobias and Nowinta offer a refreshing approach - completely independent advisory services. Their only compensation comes from their clients, guaranteeing that their advice is objective and free from any external pressures. Tobias’s singular focus is on what’s best for the client, ensuring full transparency and trust.
Tobias Heyden’s journey with Nowinta is a testament to the power of personalized, independent financial advisory services. Through his extensive network, deep industry knowledge, and genuine commitment to client satisfaction, Tobias has cemented himself as one of Marbella’s go-to financial advisors for the elite. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or someone looking to better understand the financial landscape, Tobias and Nowinta stand ready to guide you to your goals.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the financial market has shown remarkable resilience, with sectors like artificial intelligence driving strong growth. Tobias is optimistic about the future, noting that interest rates in the US and Europe are on track to decrease, which could result in a “soft landing” and prevent a full-blown recession. He’s confident that these conditions will continue to support growth in the stock market, particularly in equities.
At the heart of Tobias’s success lies his unwavering dedication to finding the best solutions for his clients - whether that means advising on the potential of bonds or helping navigate the complexities of wealth management. He thrives on the challenge of meeting the unique needs of his clients, ensuring their assets are not only secure but also strategically placed for maximum growth.

Reputation management has emerged as a critical factor for businesses striving to establish and maintain their presence in the competitive local market. Caroline Lips, Partner in Top Entrepreneurs and founder of Get Visible Agency, is one of the pioneers leading this charge. With a passion for growing brands through slightly unconventional methods, Caroline’s journey into reputation management began when she was tasked with marketing Centro House Co-Working in Marbella.
“I quickly realized that local marketing is not just about SEO, nor is it solely reliant on social media,” Caroline explains. “A major channel that everyone seems to overlook is Google Business Profile.” Diving into this underutilized space, Caroline took the time to master the intricacies of Google Business Profile, testing various strategies such as optimal posting times, the impact of different styles of emojis, the use of keywords, and other nuanced approaches. This hands-on experimentation revealed a significant gap in the market: while the current marketing buzz often revolves around platforms like Instagram and TikTok, the potential of Google Maps and Google Listings in driving local traffic for service-based businesses remains largely untapped.
“Making videos is not a strategy!”
Recognizing the growing need for businesses to enhance their visibility and manage their online reputation, Caroline decided to take her newfound
expertise to the next level. This led to the creation of Visible Reviews, a software designed to help clients not only generate more reviews but also improve their quality. One of the standout features of Visible Reviews is its unique filtering system that encourages clients to provide private feedback, including negative experiences. This mechanism allows businesses to address issues promptly before they escalate, thereby turning potentially damaging feedback into opportunities for improvement.
“Happy customers are encouraged to leave public reviews, while those less satisfied are prompted to fill out a private feedback form,” Caroline explains. “This feedback is sent directly to the client, allowing them to address any issues immediately, and hopefully ‘nip them in the bud’ before they affect the business’s reputation.”
Caroline’s mission is clear: to help more local businesses, particularly in Marbella where she resides, grow their online reputation and visibility using her innovative software and unique techniques. Beyond software solutions, Caroline is committed to educating business owners through her active presence on social media and free masterclasses. Her approach stands out because it’s not just about social media visibility—it’s about leveraging the full spectrum of tools available, including the often-overlooked power of Google Business Profiles.
By focusing on channels that many businesses neglect, she helps her clients stand out in crowded markets and build strong, positive reputations that drive customer trust and engagement. Through her work, Caroline demonstrates that effective reputation management isn’t just about managing perceptions—it’s about proactively building a brand’s presence and fostering authentic connections with its audience.
In an era where online reviews can make or break a business, Caroline’s approach offers a refreshing perspective. It’s not just about accumulating positive reviews; it’s about creating an authentic dialogue with customers, learning from feedback, and using these insights to continually improve. Her story is a testament to the power of reputation management done right, and a reminder that sometimes, the path to success lies in the less-travelled channels of digital marketing.
86% of online customers read reviews before making a purchase.

According to Caroline, the first step is to actually turn up where your customers are looking. Check your presence on maps including Apple Maps- anyone with an iPhone needs ot be able to find you. Check the driving directions work! If they don’t, you need to rectify it.
Then, it’s about setting in place a clear and automated approach to getting more reviews.
In her own words, Caroline tells us, “Making videos is not a marketing strategy!” What you should do instead is have a proper approach, one which focuses on long term growth in the market. You can do this by powering your online reputation with reviews.

Recently, a newspaper headline emerged that is hardly surprising, as it reflects the consolidation of a well-established trend: Marbella leads the ultra-luxury property market not only in Spain but across Europe.
The facts are striking: there is an increasing attraction for international buyers, particularly from the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the Netherlands, with growing interest from the Middle East and North America. This surge is largely driven by new air connections between the United States and Malaga.
investment funds in the coastal area stretching from Malaga to Gibraltar.
At DEXTER, a leading alternative financing firm with private capital, we have observed exponential growth
phenomenon: these buyers, as well as developers and builders—often non-EU nationals or Europeans with roots in the Costa del Sol—frequently turn to private capital for alternative financing.
Demand for properties priced above 10 million euros is now outstripping supply, despite the market’s substantial offerings. This imbalance has pushed prices up by nearly 15% over the past year. It’s not paradoxical when we consider that Marbella, as an icon of the Costa del Sol and a symbol of luxury living, has been internationally recognized, winning accolades like the “Best Overall Destination” award in 2024.
In this context, it is impossible to understand Marbella’s burgeoning prosperity—benefiting not just the city but the entire region of Andalusia— without acknowledging the role of international and institutional
in the number of entrepreneurs in the ultra-luxury real estate sector—particularly in the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Marbella, Estepona, and Benahavís—seeking non-bank financing for their projects. They do so for the speed, flexibility, transparency, and security that we provide, as the leading company in the sector, headquartered—unsurprisingly—on Marbella’s ‘Golden Mile.’
Real estate investment is becoming increasingly attractive to international buyers, who now account for a third of property transactions. In the superluxury market, foreign buyers represent over 70% to 80% of transactions. This has also led to an interesting
Indeed, Marbella has taken giant, unquestionably solid steps toward becoming the global epicenter of luxury real estate, rivaling iconic destinations such as Miami, Abu Dhabi, and Monaco.
A significant part of this success is driven by the ‘connection of the moment’: the synergy between dreamlike residential projects and the inflow of abundant private capital, which has found fertile ground in Marbella and is yielding impressive returns.
Pureti in the Nueva Alcántara Club:
NAC: committed to excellence and sustainable innovation in padel
At Top Entrepreneurs Marbella we are always looking for those entrepreneurs who make a difference: So when we heard about the new initiative with NAC and pureti we were keen to find out more. Read on to find out how sustainability is a key part of NAC’s strategy.
At NAC we are proud to announce that we have reached an agreement with Sostelink to implement Pureti’s innovative technology in the glass of our paddle tennis courts in our club. This advanced solution not only improves the gaming experience, but also contributes significantly to the health and well-being of our members.
Equivalent to 200 Trees: The application in the center court will be equal to planting 200 trees.
Below we detail the key benefits of implementing Pureti in our club.
Pureti is a technology based on photocatalysis that uses light to activate its decontaminating properties. When applied to the glass of paddle tennis courts, Pureti transforms the glass into active surfaces that decompose air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, into harmless substances such as water vapor and carbon dioxide. This not only improves the air quality around the courts, but also contributes to a healthier and cleaner environment for our players and spectators.
Each square meter with Pureti is equivalent, in its decontaminating effect, to a mature tree.
Pureti’s ability to break down organic compounds also results in the significant reduction of odors, providing a fresher and more pleasant environment. This benefit is especially important in a premium environment, where attention to detail and member comfort are a priority.

Pureti technology is effective in eliminating microbes and bacteria, ensuring that treated surfaces remain hygienic and safe. Photocatalysis activates a continuous disinfection process, which eliminates up to 99% of harmful microorganisms. This is essential on paddle tennis courts, where physical contact with the crystals is frequent and hygiene is essential to prevent the spread of diseases.
One of the common problems on padel courts is condensation on the glass, which can affect visibility and playability. Photocatalysis induces changes in the surface structure that cause the surface to become more similar to water, that is, hydrophilic.
Hydrophilicity is characterized by the ability of a surface to attract and spread water in a thin layer, which helps prevent the formation of droplets and facilitates water runoff. Pureti’s hydrophilic property allows water droplets to disperse and drain quickly, drying the glass efficiently and preventing moisture buildup. This not only improves visibility during play, but also prevents the balls from slipping, ensuring an optimal playing experience at all times.
At NAC we are committed to excellence and innovation. The application of Pureti on the glass of our padel courts is a testament to our commitment to providing our members with the highest quality, safe and healthy playing environment. We invite all our partners and visitors to experience first-hand the benefits of this revolutionary technology.

Marbella Dream Living, already a well-established player on the Costa del Sol, has now partnered with luxury real estate powerhouse Carlton International. We interview David Woodland, Managing Director of MDL, to find out what this means for the future of Marbella’s luxury market.
The Costa del Sol’s luxury real estate scene has reached an exciting new milestone. Marbella Dream Living, a well-regarded real estate firm in Marbella, has announced a significant partnership with Carlton International. As a company MDL
Carlton will maintain its presence and influence showcasing luxury properties on the Costa del Sol from Malaga to Sotogrande.
Carlton International has a presence and reputation in its own right of high end properties on French Riviera, French Alps, the Algarve in Portugal, Alsace, Germany.
With nearly four decades of experience in the international real estate sector,
David Woodland has led MDL to become a top-tier name in Marbella’s luxury property market. His deep understanding of the market, honed in key regions like Tenerife, Lanzarote, Thailand, Costa Rica, and, of course, Marbella, helped position MDL as a trusted agency for buyers and sellers alike. However, the partnership with Carlton International presents an even greater opportunity.
“Carlton International is an established and trusted brand in luxury real estate, especially on the French Riviera,” David explains. “Their 40-plus years of experience and reputation for excellence
perfectly align with our values at MDL. We knew that partnering with them would allow us to enhance our own offerings while expanding our reach.”
The move enables MDL to access Carlton International’s extensive network, which includes exclusive listings and a client base with a high interest in premium properties. This synergy has not only expanded MDL’s reach but also strengthened its credibility in the luxury real estate landscape, positioning MDL Carlton as a dominant force in Marbella and the wider Costa del Sol.
The story of how this partnership came about highlights the importance of mutual vision and synergy. Carlton International initially reached out to MDL while preparing a business trip to Malaga. The two companies met in person, and it became clear early on that they shared a similar ethos.
“Simone Wohnhaas, Carlton’s Brand Development Director, and Audrey Brahic, their Marketing Manager, were instrumental in the initial discussions,” David recalls.
“They recognized that MDL had the expertise, standing, and resources Carlton was looking for in a partner.”
Following further discussions with Carlton’s CEO, Philip Weiser, MDL was officially selected as their partner and licensee in Marbella. “It was a natural fit,” David says.
of knowledge. “Working alongside Carlton International means we’re constantly learning from their best practices in luxury real estate. This helps us refine our strategies and elevate our service offerings to match the expectations of high-net-worth individuals,” David notes.
One of the most significant developments has been the rebranding effort undertaken by MDL to align with Carlton International. “Rebranding was key to creating a cohesive visual identity,” David says. “It has boosted our visibility and reinforced our commitment to quality. It also signals to clients that we’re part of a broader, internationally recognized brand.”
The partnership has also ushered in a period of expansion for MDL Carlton. “One of the first steps we took after the partnership was to expand our team,” David explains.
While Marbella remains the heart of MDL Carlton’s operations, the partnership with Carlton International has opened doors to new geographic regions. “We’ll continue to focus on showcasing luxury properties along the Costa del Sol, from Malaga to Sotogrande,” David says, “but Carlton International’s presence on the French Riviera, in the French Alps, and the Algarve in Portugal broadens our reach significantly.”
This global reach not only enhances MDL Carlton’s credibility but also enables it to cater to an international client base with interests in multiple luxury markets. “We’re now positioned as a key player not only in Marbella but in the broader international luxury real estate scene,” David adds.
“We’ve recruited experienced, multilingual professionals who are well-versed in the luxury real estate sector. As MDL Carlton, it’s important to have a team that not only reflects our international clientele but also upholds our values of excellence and personalized service.”
“We both wanted the same thing: to expand our market presence while continuing to offer the very best in luxury real estate.”
When asked about the specific advantages the partnership brings, David is quick to highlight several key benefits. “This collaboration opens up incredible opportunities for us,” he says. “We’re now able to tap into Carlton’s established network, which allows us access to exclusive listings and high-end clients interested in luxury properties in and around Marbella.”
Beyond access to properties, the partnership fosters a valuable exchange
This investment in recruitment is aimed at ensuring that MDL Carlton can meet the growing demands of a discerning luxury market. “We’re focused on ensuring that every client receives top-tier service,” David adds. “Our goal is to create a seamless, personalized experience that makes our clients feel valued and confident in their property decisions.”
In addition to team growth, the partnership has allowed MDL Carlton to access **more exclusive luxury listings**. “With Carlton’s backing, we can now offer a broader range of highend properties to our clients,” David says. “This access gives us a competitive edge and positions us as a go-to agency for luxury buyers in the region.”
David is optimistic about the future, not only for MDL Carlton but also for the broader real estate industry. “The luxury real estate market is evolving, especially when it comes to marketing,” he says. “The digital transformation has been significant, with more agents and companies using websites, social media, and virtual tours to reach potential buyers.” Virtual tours, 3D technology and drone footage have become essential tools in the company’s marketing strategy, allowing potential buyers from across the globe to explore properties from the comfort of their homes. “These innovations are changing how we connect with clients, making it easier and more efficient for buyers to find their dream homes, even from afar,” David adds.
In addition to technology, content marketing and data analytics have become integral to MDL Carlton’s approach. “We use data to understand market trends and customer preferences better, which helps us target our marketing more effectively,” he explains. “Our goal is to provide valuable content and insights that help buyers make informed decisions.”
As MDL Carlton moves forward, David has his sights set on continued growth and expansion. “We’re committed to growing our team and expanding our presence in the Marbella market,” he says. “At the same time, we want to maintain the personalized, high-quality service that has always set us apart.”
David also hints at future innovations in real estate marketing, including augmented reality and more personalized property search tools.

Estela Fernandez Real estate agent
Estela Fernández’s Bold Career Move in Marbella
We met Estela Fernández, a woman who made a remarkable transition from the healthcare sector to the luxury real estate market in Marbella. After years of working as a nurse, including through the COVID-19 pandemic, Estela decided to change her career path. In a matter of months, she has become a notable figure in Marbella’s highly competitive real estate market. How did she achieve this? Estela shared her journey and insights with us.
Estela began her career in nursing, driven by a desire to help others. “I’ve always wanted to help people, and that led me to become a nurse,” she says. After years in the field and a move to Switzerland, she realized she wanted a new challenge.
“I decided it was time for a change, and the real estate sector, particularly on the Costa del Sol, always intrigued me. So, I returned to Spain with the intention of diving into this new world, and I haven’t regretted it.”
Marbella’s exclusive real estate market, filled with luxury villas and chalets, was the perfect fit for Estela. “Marbella is unique, with a market full of opportunities in the luxury sector. The luxury here is more than just properties—it’s a lifestyle,” she explains. In just four months, Estela has achieved impressive sales. She credits her rapid rise to the people skills she developed as a nurse. “My ability to connect with people has been crucial. Nursing taught me to listen and understand others’ needs deeply.”
Breaking into the luxury real estate sector wasn’t without its challenges. Estela had to quickly familiarize herself
with the high expectations of wealthy international clients. “Luxury buyers are discerning and demand impeccable service. I had to learn quickly about the local market and the needs of these clients,” she says.
However, with support from the Keller Williams team and her strong work ethic, she adapted quickly and began making her mark. *”Surrounding yourself with a supportive network is essential. In my case, the support from Keller Williams has been key to my success on this new path,”* she adds.
Before returning to Spain, Estela lived in Switzerland, where she learned a lot about quality and attention to detail—values she brought to her new career. “Living in Switzerland exposed me to a real estate market that was very different, but it also taught me the importance of precision and high standards. This experience helped me understand the expectations of luxury clients,” she shares.
Surprisingly, many of the skills Estela developed as a nurse translated seamlessly into her real estate career. “As a nurse, I learned to stay calm under pressure and be organized. These skills are essential in real estate, where negotiations can be complex, and clients expect perfection.”
Her ability to empathize and communicate effectively has also been key in building trust with her clients. These traits have become her strengths in the luxury market.
Estela’s work style is all about personalization. “Every client is unique, and I take the time to understand what they really want. I’m involved in every stage of the process, ensuring that the
experience is smooth and enjoyable.”
Her goal is to offer an exclusive service, where every detail counts, which has helped her stand out in the competitive luxury real estate market.
Technology plays a significant role in Estela’s day-to-day operations. She uses advanced tools for client management and market analysis, helping her provide up-to-date information to her clients.
“Virtual tours and 3D walkthroughs are essential for my international clients who can’t always be present. Technology helps me offer a more efficient and agile service,” she explains.
Looking to the future, Estela is focused on growth. “I want to establish myself as one of the top agents in Marbella and the Costa del Sol,” she says. She hopes to expand her network of international clients and potentially form a team specializing in luxury properties.
Estela’s advice to those considering a major career change is simple: “Don’t be afraid to start over. If you’re passionate about what you do, the effort is worth it.” She emphasizes the importance of having a supportive network, something that has been crucial to her success.
Estela Fernández’s inspiring journey from nursing to luxury real estate demonstrates the power of reinvention. With her empathy, attention to detail, and dedication, she has quickly made a name for herself in Marbella’s prestigious property market—and she’s just getting started.

Founded in 2014, SiaSpace was born out of a desire to introduce a new fashion concept in Ukraine. The goal of the founders, Inna and Anastasia, was to create a format that was still uncommon in Ukraine at that time.
They were among the first to unite young independent local designers in one place. Their mission was clear and ambitious: to create a platform where fashion enthusiasts could discover exclusive garments from Ukraine, regardless of their location.
From the beginning, SiaSpace focused on breaking down barriers. This concept store made it easy for customers to order clothes from the website and social media, reaching fashion lovers from Spain to the USA, Australia and other countries. The founder’s effort to make Ukrainian fashion available worldwide has succeeded, and SiaSpace is now known as the best choice for customers looking for something truly special.
But SiaSpace is more than just online shopping. Its offline stores in Marbella and Kyiv are prime spots for fashion enthusiasts, offering elite items that are often handmade and produced in limited quantities. This dedication to quality and exclusivity allows customers to express their individuality through their wardrobe.
One of SiaSpace’s standout offerings is its cruise collections, particularly those made from linen. Linen is a natural fabric that has long been prized for its breathability and comfort, making it ideal for summer holidays. The lightweight, airy nature of linen, combined with Ukrainian unique designs, offers the ideal match for customers who value effortless elegance and practicality. Whether you’re heading to a beach in Ibiza or a summer party in Tulum, SiaSpace’s linen pieces offer the perfect blend of style and comfort.
At the heart of SiaSpace is a commitment to authenticity, individuality and quality. Customers of the store appreciate the unique designs, exceptional craftsmanship and personal touch that goes into every item.

Each piece of Samantha’s jewellery is handcrafted in Bali in a small, familyrun workshop, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and quality.

Renowned violinist “Lamaya” presents two distinct and captivating performances: flamenco violin and electronic violin. Her artistic versatility spans genres such as Electronic, Latin, Celtic, Classical, Argentinian Tango, and Flamenco. In her flamenco performances, she has collaborated with prominent artists in Spain and across the globe. With her electronic violin shows, she defies the traditional image of a classical violinist, delivering electrifying performances at discos, fashion shows, weddings and events with her LED-lit violin.
Lamaya has showcased her talent at premier events and international festivals in over 10 countries across four continents.
My journey as an artist, entrepreneur, and author began in Marbella, where the sun, sea, and vibrant culture have always been the backdrop to both my creative dreams and entrepreneurial ventures.
In 1972, when I was just two years old, my family moved to Marbella. It was here, in this unique cultural landscape, that I grew up attending schools like Ecos, Calpe, Aloha, and finally the English International College in Ricmar. By 16, I had graduated with O and A levels in Art and Spanish, my heart filled with dreams of pursuing an artistic career.
To follow that path, I enrolled at the renowned Chelsea School of Art in London. But life threw an unexpected curveball. An existential crisis cast a shadow over my artistic ambitions, leaving me feeling disconnected from the future I had envisioned. After leaving art school, I returned to Spain, still eager to find my way, but quickly realizing the harsh reality - I needed to make a living.
my entrepreneurial instincts came alive.
“Let’s open our own bar!” I said. With help from our mother, who secured a startup loan, and our uncle, who lent us tools and guidance, we literally built our business from the ground up. Even our younger brother Jonathan, who was just 14 at the time, got involved. We opened LOCOS next door to Arturo’s, and the name perfectly matched the wild reputation we had already begun to cultivate.
security was chased out of the port. It was pure madness - but it was our madness, and we thrived in it.
Yet, despite the success of LOCOS (Still open after 35 years!), my artistic dreams never fully faded. The struggle between entrepreneurship and art gnawed at me, as I longed to create work that would be appreciated during my lifetime, not posthumously.
At the time, my older brother Jason and I were working for drinks at Arturo’s Rock and Roll Bar in Marbella Port. We were DJs, bartenders, and entertainers, fully immersed in Marbella’s dynamic nightlife. The experience was electrifying, but financially unsustainable. That’s when
LOCOS quickly became a fixture in Marbella’s nightlife scene. We didn’t just create a bar - we created an experience, one filled with excitement, unpredictability, and occasionally, chaos. I’ll never forget the night Marbella’s infamous mayor, Jesús Gil, came personally to shut us down, only to be greeted by a full-scale riot. Bottles flew, cars were overturned, and his
In the midst of this internal conflict, a spiritual transformation that happened to me on Marbella’s iconic mountain ‘La Concha’ led me to pack my bags, leave the loco lifestyle and move to America, where I sought to find my purpose. Between 1996 and 2008, my life was filled with remarkable, life-changing experiences, marriage, children and serial entrepreneurship - stories that I’m now capturing in my second book, which I plan to publish next year.
Then, in 2008, the economic crash hit. My custom kitchen and cabinet business, which had been thriving with a $2 million contract on the table, came to an abrupt halt. I remember Scott Kay, a highend jeweler with 189 outlets, calling to cancel his contract, saying, “No one’s buying diamonds.” The market was flooded with cheap alternatives from China, and just like that, my business collapsed, leaving me a treasure trove of custom creating experience that would later make custom art commissions a primary part of my art business.
However, when one door closes, another opens. The Penske truck rental company I had been using for deliveries shut down its local agency, sparking a new idea. I approached Penske and pitched the idea of running their rental operation out of my warehouse, at no cost to them. They agreed, and within weeks, I had diversified my business.
This led to more ventures - an eBay consignment business, a department store returns resale operation in which even my landlord became an investor, and eventually a swap shop and a “cash for gold” business. Each pivot was a response to the shifting economic climate, and through these tough times,
we didn’t just survivewe thrived.
But my desire to return to painting never left me. I converted part of the warehouse into an art studio, yet the demands of business kept me from picking up a brush. By the time our two-year lease ended, our greedy landlord offered us a terrible deal to renew. It was clear he was taking advantage of our situation, expecting us to pay an exorbitant purchase price for a property that wasn’t worth it. Exhausted and unwilling to accept such unfair terms, we walked away.
My family and I decided to leave the warehouse behind and return to Marbella, seeking a simpler life and, hopefully, a return to creativity.
Back in Marbella, we initially found peace. But soon, financial challenges emerged. Our foster son, who had taken over our U.S. businesses, walked away from the responsibility, sinking
the opportunity, leaving us in a difficult situation. Our tenants in the U.S. had also trashed our home, which was then vandalized, and with no stable income, I had to fall back on an old, reliable trade - window cleaning.
With no money and three children to support, I grabbed a squeegee and mop and went door-to-door in Puerto Banus, cleaning windows to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. It wasn’t easy, but before long, I had built up a regular clientele. It was enough to keep us afloat, but the grind was relentless.
Then, fate intervened. While cleaning the windows of the Sammer Gallery, owned by renowned gallerist Sam Benady, I couldn’t help but admire the art on display. I told Sam I was an artist, and though he had undoubtedly heard that many times before, he challenged me to show him my work. It had been years since I last painted, but his words ignited something in me.
Despite the economic challenges still gripping Marbella, I held onto my faith in the God of the impossible. I knew that, somehow, I would find my way back to art. After selling my windowcleaning and glass restoration businesses to my brothers in 2010 (which they still operate in 2024,) I returned to New York, where my wife and I reclaimed our damaged home and turned it into my long-awaited art studio.
Back in New York, I finally began painting again. My first piece sold for $1,500, and soon after, two more sold for a total of $25,000 on Saatchi Art online. It felt like a long-held dream had finally come true. After years of struggle, my art was being recognized and art commissions started to materialize.
In 2014, I returned to Marbella, taking Sam Benady up on his challenge. I spent time painting in his gallery in Magna Marbella, producing some of my best work to date. My first exhibition in Spain was a success, and Sam began displaying my impressionist and abstract paintings in his galleries in Puerto Banus and La Campana.
The art world is a fortress, often guarded by gallerists with arbitrary standards and stringent requirements.
After facing multiple rejections, I resolved to go it alone, building my own art business to showcase my work. I was determined to create a space where my art could be seen, experienced, purchased and appreciated in person.
In 2019, we moved to Alexandria, Virginia, hoping to tap into the vibrant art scene near Washington, D.C. But
just as we were set to open our new studio, COVID-19 hit. We were forced to shut down before we even had a chance to begin. Returning to upstate New York, I renovated my warehouse space into a gallery, but the local economy wasn’t right for the kind of large-format paintings I was producing.
In 2023, we opened a studio in a college town to be close to our three college age kids. While there was plenty of student interest, the challenge was that most students didn’t have the means to purchase art. Then, life shifted
again. My mother became ill with cancer, and my wife and I rushed back to Marbella. Sadly, she passed away in October of 2023.
With my mother’s passing, life in Marbella took on a new significance. My wife Gloria and I decided to stay, drawn to the vibrant local art scene and the opportunities that seemed to be falling into place. We closed our gallery in Virginia and fully committed to a new chapter in Marbella.
Now, we are proud to announce the launch of Raven Art Studio Marbella specializing in custom, made-to-order contemporary art commissions, located at Calle Oro 9, Marbella, 29603. After years of preparation and overcoming countless obstacles, we are finally ready to share my work with the world. Gloria and I look forward to welcoming visitors to the gallery, Wednesday through Saturday from 16:00 to 19:00, or by appointment.

Yoga, inspires various images and definitions. It begs the question,
t first one may imagine Yoga as a sport, an awesome ability to balance oneself on one hand, while contorting the body with some superhuman flexibility. For others, Yoga is a deep sense of peace and quiet, a comfort in the practitioner’s experience, mind, body, soul, all connected, quiet and in harmony, JOY resides here. Or simply, an opportunity to come back to yourself, to know your true self, to create “space” in your body and mind, to be fully present. A community of like-minded people, with shared values and beliefs.
It is ALL these things and so much more
Yoga, from the Sanskrit term meaning union. Union of the Body, Mind and Soul. An invitation to deepen your understanding of your experience in this body, on this journey with our stories, our lives. We each possess our very own expression of who we are, with unique gifts, stories and paths. Yoga, is also a way of life, to assist or guide you to live your best life. Through the practice we become intimately aware of our innate abilities, giving us the tools and confidence to show up exactly as we are, our most authentic selves, from this the possibilities are endless. Each time we arrive on to the mat is an opportunity. We are invited to let go of all that we believe we are, begin a new, starting with a blank slate.
Recognizing that from day to day, moment to moment we are in a constant state of change, what was yesterday is no longer. Striving to always do our best, whatever that is in any given moment as this is always changing, our internal and external world, influencing how we show up, and what we are capable of now. It is the courage to release ourselves from
harmful limiting beliefs, the fear of not measuring up, of judgment and unrealistic expectations.
During our practice on the mat we breathe, move our bodies, stretch and release. Returning over and over to the present moment. The only moment that truly exists. Letting go of everything, the “baggage” we carry around. We are challenged, invigorated and liberated. A thoughtfully designed sequence, guided by a skillful instructor will lead you to know and experience yourself in ways no other practice can offer. As we move and breathe, tensions and emotions held in the body are released, in a natural and gentle fashion. This release further benefits us as it triggers the body’s natural ability to heal itself, activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
We live in a world in which we are constantly being bombarded with personal and professional responsibilities, and pressures. These can all become very overwhelming. How to manage it all?
It is for EVERY-body. Taking the time to arrive onto the mat, to move, breathe and surrender will give you the tools, and clarity of mind to help you overcome and deal with many of life’s challenges. Focus is on the sensation and experience of the body in the pose, not the expectations of what it should look like. It is a unique experience for each practitioner. Arriving with an open mind and heart, all is possible.
My wish for you, is that you take the lessons of the practice on the mat out to your day-to-day life so that you may live happy, free and full of gratitude for this amazing life!! NAMASTE!

What if a trip to the dentist could transform from a cold, clinical ordeal into a luxurious escape? Imagine achieving a perfect smile with veneers, all without the need for drilling. Dr. Carlos Saiz, already celebrated and sought after in his renowned clinics in Barcelona and Madrid, is now bringing his innovative, drill-free veneers to Marbella by popular demand. This new era in dentistry combines opulence with cuttingedge technology, offering a level of comfort and high-end care that redefines the dental experience.
Carlos Saiz Smile is not your typical dental practice. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Carlos Saiz has built a brand that merges cutting-edge dental care with an unparalleled luxury experience. His clinics are designed to feel more like high-end spas or five-star hotels than traditional dental offices, ensuring that each patient feels pampered and at ease from the moment they step through the door.
the opening of a second clinic on the exclusive Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona.
“We want our patients to feel like they are entering a beauty spa, not a dental clinic,”
says Dr. Saiz. This focus on comfort and aesthetics sets him apart from other dentists in Marbella and beyond, offering a holistic experience where every detail matters.
Dr. Carlos Saiz began his career in Barcelona in the early 2000s, launching his first dental clinic that initially provided standard dental services. However, he had a passion for cosmetic dentistry, something that was still in its infancy in Spain and Europe. “I always knew that aesthetic dentistry was my calling,” he explains. His breakthrough came over 15 years ago with the introduction of non-invasive ceramic veneers, a revolutionary treatment that allowed patients to enhance their smiles without the need for drilling. “It was a game-changer,” he says. “The media quickly picked up on it, and soon we had patients coming from all over Spain and Europe.” This success led to
As demand for his veneers grew, so did his business. His expansion into Madrid was a natural next step, and the clinic on Gran Vía became a destination for celebrities from the worlds of football, television, and fashion. “We realized many of our patients were coming from Andalucía, especially Marbella, so it made sense to open a clinic there too,” says Dr. Saiz. In summer 2024, he opened his newest clinic on Marbella’s prestigious Golden Mile, offering an exclusive environment that matches the city’s luxurious lifestyle.
At the heart of Dr. Saiz’s practice is his signature treatment—non-invasive ceramic veneers. These ultra-thin ceramic laminates are adhered to the surface of the tooth without the need for drilling, anesthesia, or discomfort. “The beauty of this treatment is that it preserves the natural tooth while providing a flawless smile that lasts a lifetime,” he explains.
The process is swift and simple, requiring just three appointments over the course of two weeks.
APPOINTMENT 1: Digital impressions and a photographic study are taken.
APPOINTMENT 2: A simulation of the smile design is created, and the patient selects the desired shade.
APPOINTMENT 3: The veneers are fitted and placed, giving the patient the smile they’ve always dreamed of.
While ceramic veneers are his most popular treatment, Dr. Saiz’s clinics also offer a range of other aesthetic dental procedures. These include premium teeth whitening and Invisalign, alongside all other standard dental specialities.
What truly sets Carlos Saiz Smile apart is the sensory experience. The clinic’s interiors, designed by the renowned French design firm Conceptium, are a study in minimalist luxury. The brand’s signature gold accents are present throughout but used in a way that feels modern and futuristic. “We want patients to feel like they’ve stepped into a world of elegance and comfort,” says Dr. Saiz. The clinics are also equipped
“We cover everything from aesthetics to general dentistry to ensure our patients leave with a complete sense of satisfaction”
with aromatherapy systems, trendsetting music, and personalized care, creating a calm and soothing atmosphere from start to finish.
Over the years, Dr. Saiz has earned the title of “the dentist of the stars,” with a client list that reads like a who’s who of Spanish celebrities. High-profile patients such as Sergio Ramos, Pilar Rubio, and Jordi Alba have trusted their smiles to his expertise. “We have hundreds of celebrity patients, many of whom proudly display their results on my Instagram,” he says.
Dr. Saiz’s love for technology is one of the driving forces behind his success. “I am obsessed with technology,” he admits. “I am constantly updating my clinics with the latest equipment, from intraoral scanners to whitening lamps and lasers. Only the best for my patients.”
The decision to open in Marbella was driven by the city’s unique blend of international and discerning clientele. “Marbella is unlike anywhere else,” says Dr. Saiz. “It has a multicultural population that values health and aesthetics in equal measure, which fits perfectly with our philosophy.” The clinic’s location on the Golden Mile was chosen for its exclusivity, privacy, and security. “The Marbella Club is the epitome of luxury, so it was the perfect spot for our new clinic.”
While Dr. Carlos Saiz is the mastermind behind the brand, he is quick to credit his team. “I’m surrounded by the best professionals in the field, ensuring that we can offer our patients a complete 360-degree experience,” he says. Together, they are raising the bar for dental care, one smile at a time.

Dr. Darina and Dr. Zaid at Clinica Almasa, Puerto Banus
Operating from the Almasa Clinic in the heart of Puerto Banús, Marbella, Dr. Darina collaborates with Dr. Zaid to offer a comprehensive range of services, including implantology, full mouth rehabilitation, aesthetic veneers, and more.
Dr. Darina is dedicated to delivering subtle, natural results. Her personalized approach involves customizing each treatment plan to suit the unique needs of every patient, with a focus on enhancing natural beauty rather than altering it.
Her practice integrates advanced techniques, continuous education, and a holistic philosophy that prioritizes both aesthetics and overall well-being, ensuring that every client in Marbella enjoys a truly unique and rejuvenating experience.
Dr. Darina’s standout procedure, “Botox Magic for Bruxism,” is a cornerstone of her practice due to its remarkable blend of therapeutic and aesthetic benefits.
This specialized treatment addresses the medical condition of bruxism—relieving jaw tension, reducing teeth grinding, and alleviating headaches—while offering substantial aesthetic enhancement by relaxing the masseter muscles. The result is a slimmer, more contoured jawline, leading to a rejuvenated and harmonious facial appearance.
When combined with other procedures, such as the subtle “corner of mouth lift” and “neck lift,” Botox Magic redefines the entire lower face, restoring youthful definition, smoothing sagging skin, and enhancing overall facial symmetry. This holistic approach not only improves physical function but also restores confidence, making it one of the most sought-after treatments at S-Thetics Beauty.
Dr. Darina’s motivation for developing this treatment originated from years of clinical observation, revealing that many patients remained dissatisfied with their surgical facelifts due to persistent sagging and tension in the lower face. By precisely targeting and relaxing the hyperactive depressor muscles that contribute to these issues, her treatments effectively alleviate tension, redefine facial contours, and achieve a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
Looking ahead, S-Thetics Beauty plans to introduce an expanded array of advanced aesthetic treatments in Marbella, including state-of-the-art non-surgical facelifts, innovative skin rejuvenation technologies, and personalized wellness solutions. The brand aims to upgrade its services with the latest techniques and products, catering to diverse aesthetic needs and offering exclusive packages tailored to the unique preferences of their clientele.
Additionally, S-Thetics Beauty is enhancing its training programs with new locations and specialized courses, expanding its presence in key international markets. The goal is to integrate cutting-edge innovations in both aesthetic and therapeutic practices, delivering exceptional results for clients and trainees alike.
Beyond providing treatments, Dr. Darina offers specialized training programs through the Academy of Aesthetic Medicine in Marbella. As a trainer, she provides instruction
on the correct application of aesthetic medicine products for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. The training programs are highly individualized and tailored to each participant’s level, with courses available in Prague, Bratislava, Marbella, Amsterdam, and Rome.
Dr. Darina emphasizes the importance of sun protection, a balanced diet, and hydration, along with facial exercises and a consistent skincare routine that promotes collagen production. She also advocates for managing stress through healthy lifestyle habits and regular consultations with an aesthetic doctor for personalized treatments. Emphasizing oral health, including correcting bite issues and using dental mouthguards, can further prevent damage and preserve teeth, contributing to a graceful aging process.
S-Thetics Beauty regularly organizes exclusive “Beauty and Health Days” at the clinic, offering a unique blend of education, networking, and personalized services. These events provide an opportunity for clients to learn about the latest advancements in aesthetic and health treatments directly from expert practitioners, while enjoying exclusive packages tailored to their needs.

“Why are women so COMPLICATED?”
As an international Dating & Relationship Coach I get this question every single day.
As an international Dating & Relationship Coach I get this question every single day.
From Business Owners, Software-engineers, Finance Professionals, Doctors and Lawyers.
Hyper-successful guys yet they have ONE thing in common:
They struggle to attract or keep high-quality women around.
Why? you ask?
It’s counterintuitive but the skill that makes them SUCCEED in business DESTROYS their Dating Life. These men are strategic, analytical and LOGICAL. These skills have made them the top of their craft.
But there’s ONE MASSIVE issue with that.
Dating isn’t about Logic. It is about RAW FEELINGS, Sexual Chemistry and LOVE. Because LOVE is ILLOGICAL.
Now, I’m not suggesting to throw your LOGIC out the window COMPLETELY. Instead, balance logic with these 4 simple habits to build sexual connection with high-quality women.
#1
Stop bombarding her with BORING, FACT-SEEKING questions ONLY.
“What do you do for work?”
“What’s your favourite hobby?”
“What did you do yesterday?” Questions ONLY TAKE information. But a GOOD conversation GIVES.
Now, what’s the solution?
“Glad you ask ;)”
#2 GIVE STATEMENTS
I call them cold reads. They are an amazing way to keep a conversation FLOWING by making an assumption about her off the back of her response.
So, when she says:
“I love traveling”
You should go BEYOND the obvious and make an assumption about what traveling could IMPLY? Adventure? Risk-taking? Trouble? ;)
Based on that, you respond (with a Cold Read instead of a question):
“Sounds like you are a bit of a troublemaker ;)”
“Why does this work Gene?”
Because of ONE SIMPLE THING. At the end of the day…
“Girls just wanna have fun” was a popular song in the 80s. While the 80s are a thing of the past, women’s primal desires haven’t changed at all. Women still want fun.
And guess what - Fun is an emotion.
And emotions are a woman’s PRIMARY form of expression. If you speak to her emotions, you speak to her heart. And that’s her love language. Now how do you make women feel something?
Aside from Cold Reads there’s one more thing you can do… And it is a thing that most men LACK nowadays.
Now this might trigger some of you. I guess it means it’s true ;)
Most men nowadays are absolute SOFTIES.
Too afraid of conflict, too afraid of approaching a woman, too afraid of putting her in her place. (aka setting a healthy boundary).
In short, most men are afraid of being a MASCULINE MAN.
Women want a good-hearted, assertive Leader. A man with strong opinions, a spine, someone who can make her feel safe physically and emotionally. Not a Rambo. Not a Nice Guy.
Deep down wants a modern-day Gentleman. I call him Hercules. And I teach men to become Hercules. Thank me later, Love and Peace, G ;) www.instagram.com/genegerrienne
Is mixing holistic practices with business just a passing fad, or is it a savvy strategy that increases performance? As it stands, it’s becoming commonplace for business owners to explore meditation, yoga, and other wellness practices. It’s common knowledge that Silicon Valley has embraced a culture of “biohacking,” where tales of prominent CEOs, such as Steve Jobs consuming solely fruits, have become legendary.
The estimated value of the corporate wellness market reached $61 billion in 2023, projected to get to $85 billion by 2030.
In recent years, holistic wellness has surged from personal lifestyle choices into the professional sphere. Entrepreneurs and personalities including Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga are known for embracing practices such as mindfulness, yoga, and sustainable living not just for personal well-being but as integral parts of their business models. This shift reflects broader consumer trends where health and wellness are paramount.
BUT IS IT JUST A FAD?
Marc Benioff, the tech entrepreneur behind the multibillion-dollar software company Salesforce, has been deeply influenced by his spiritual journey. According to Forbes, Benioff’s experiences in Hawaii and India, where he spent time with gurus, inspired his vision for Salesforce. Reflecting his commitment to spirituality, Benioff has even incorporated meditation rooms throughout Salesforce offices, as highlighted in an interview with The New York Times
Influential figures like Tony Robbins have been instrumental in promoting holistic practices within the business world. Robbins emphasizes the importance of mental and physical wellness as foundational to entrepreneurial success. His seminars and coaching sessions often include segments on meditation, nutrition, and fitness, underscoring the link between personal health and professional performance.
While some may view the integration of holistic practices into business as a trend, the underlying principles are sound. Prioritizing health and well-being can lead to higher productivity, reduced absenteeism, and a more engaged workforce. Moreover, as consumers continue to prioritize wellness in their personal lives, businesses that reflect these values can build stronger connections with their customers.
Embracing holistic practices isn’t just about following the latest trend; it’s about recognizing the intrinsic link between wellbeing and success. Whether it’s through promoting mindfulness, sustainability, or community wellness, businesses that invest in the holistic health of their employees and customers are likely to thrive in the long run.
SIX TIPS FOR INCORPORATING HOLISTIC PRACTICES INTO YOUR BUSINESS AS AN ENTREPRENEUR
Create a Mindfulness Routine: Incorporate daily meditation or mindfulness practices into your schedule. Apps like Headspace or Calm can help guide you and keep you consistent.
Prioritize Healthy Eating: Plan your meals to include nutritious foods that fuel your body and mind. Consider meal prepping on weekends to save time during the week.
Integrate Physical Activity: Make time for regular exercise, whether it’s yoga, running, or even a quick home workout. Physical activity can boost your energy levels and productivity.
Take Regular Breaks: Schedule short breaks throughout your workday to stretch, breathe deeply, or take a walk. These breaks can help prevent burnout and keep you focused.
Practice Sustainability: Adopt eco-friendly habits in your business operations. This could include using sustainable products, reducing waste, or supporting green initiatives.
Focus on Mental Health: Make mental health a priority by setting boundaries between work and personal life, seeking therapy if needed, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.
The rise of holistic practices in business may seem like just a trend, but it is rooted in the common-sense understanding that a healthy, happy workforce is a productive one. As wellness trends continue to evolve, businesses that adapt and integrate these practices will not only stay relevant but also gain a competitive edge.

The Charity Cookbook Engaging Marbella
OnePlate is a global charity that collaborates with food enthusiasts, top-tier restaurants, cafés and renowned chefs, to fund sustainable food projects for children in Africa and Asia. These initiatives provide not only nourishment but also love and hope to children who have been abandoned or are living on the streets.
The name “OnePlate” signifies the impact a single plate of food can have. The charity was inspired by Thérèse Nichols’ experience in Manila in 2015. Moved by the sight of children scavenging for food, she volunteered at a local foundation that provided meals to street children. Witnessing the joy and dignity a simple meal could bring, Thérèse returned to Australia determined to make a difference. In 2016, she co-founded OnePlate with Regina Wursthorn, Katarina Kelekovic, and Joshua Lanzarini.
“Every plate served with love is a message of hope and a step towards a better future.”
Following the success of “Brunch in Melbourne,” Thérèse and her team have launched “Brunch in London,” a cookbook that epitomizes culinary excellence and charitable giving.
Featuring 112 recipes from some of London’s top chefs and eateries, this book merges gastronomic delight with philanthropy. 100% of the profits from this luxurious hardcover book go directly to funding OnePlate’s sustainable food projects.
“Brunch in London” showcases recipes from culinary stars like Jamie Oliver, Anna Jones, and Yotam Ottolenghi, with contributions from prestigious venues such as The Ivy, Nobu, and Claridge’s. Highlighted dishes include Pancakes with Strawberries by The Savoy, Açai Bowl by Farm Girl, and Ricotta Hotcakes by Granger & Co. This book offers readers a chance to recreate London’s vibrant brunch culture in their own homes.
Romane Howsam, a global ambassador and patron of OnePlate, has played a crucial role in raising awareness and support for the charity. She presented “Brunch in London” at a previous Top Entrepreneurs Event in Marbella, significantly boosting the charity’s profile and also held a European launch for the book at Centro House Marbella in May 2024.
Such was the success of the launch in Marbella that many local businesses have already got involved by purchasing the book for their clients and staff.
Marbella businesses and residents can support OnePlate by purchasing the “Brunch in London” cookbook. This
Romane Howsam, global ambassador for OnePlate
book makes a perfect gift for corporate events, staff incentives, or as a stylish addition to luxury hotel rooms and real estate settlements. By partnering with OnePlate, Marbella’s community can help reach the goal of selling 20,000 books to raise $1 million.
Participating in OnePlate’s initiatives allows chefs and restaurants to give back by donating recipes, which in turn raise funds for sustainable food projects. These projects not only provide nourishment but also teach children important life skills like leadership, patience, and responsibility.
OnePlate demonstrates the power of food to bring about meaningful change. Through innovative projects and collaborative efforts, the charity continues to nourish and nurture children, offering them hope and a brighter future. As OnePlate expands, it invites food lovers everywhere to join this journey of impact, one plate at a time.
Join the Top Entrepreneurs and support OnePlate in their mission to transform lives through the universal language of food.
The “Brunch in London” cookbook is available for purchase on the OnePlate website: www.oneplate.co
Every purchase supports creating a sustainable future for children in need.
IFthe 80s hit “Forever Young” resonates with you, chances are you’re noticing the natural aging process. While aging is inevitable, the desire to maintain youthful beauty is universal. Meet Carla Todea, a Natural Anti-Aging Specialist, who believes you can reverse the clock without invasive treatments.
Carla explains the science behind aging skin by breaking down its layers:
The Epidermis: This outer layer renews skin cells. Over time, this process slows, causing dead skin cells to accumulate, resulting in fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven pigmentation, and dullness.
The Dermis: The middle layer contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin, essential for keeping skin plump, firm, and elastic. As we age, fibroblast cells produce less of these, causing wrinkles and sagging, especially in areas of frequent muscle movement.
The Hypodermis: The deepest layer where fat is stored. Aging and gravity can cause fat redistribution, leading to sagging skin and an older appearance.
Starting in our mid-20s, we lose about 1% of dermal thickness annually. By our 40s, our skin has lost at least 20% of its density. Hormonal changes during menopause accelerate this, with up to a 30% reduction in skin firmness due to the decline in collagen and elastin production.
External factors can also speed up skin aging. UV exposure is the primary culprit, but smoking, excessive alcohol, poor nutrition, and pollution all play a role. These are factors we can control to help maintain youthful skin.
Every day, your choices shape your skin’s future. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Cutting-edge skincare treatments allow you to rejuvenate your skin for a youthful, radiant glow.
At Onda Advanced Aesthetics, Carla offers innovative treatments targeting all skin layers. Her state-of-the-art procedures boost collagen and elastin, reduce fat and cellulite, and tone muscles, giving a revitalized appearance.
Located in Marbella’s prestigious area near Avenida del Mar, Onda offers breathtaking sea views and advanced

From day one, our mission has been to create unforgettable moments for our clients, offering them high-end, tailor-made experiences on the water. Whether it’s a sunset cruise, a private event, or just a day of relaxation, we want every client to feel like they are living something truly unique and memorable.
luxury charter business, primarily because of its reputation as a destination for high-net-worth individuals. The beautiful coastline, the glamorous atmosphere—it’s the perfect setting. However, with that comes the challenge of maintaining exceptionally high standards. The competition is tough, and the expectations are always rising. In this market, every detail counts, from the quality of the boats to the professionalism of the crew. Clients expect the best, and that’s what we strive to deliver. It’s both thrilling and demanding.
“Marbella is an incredible place to run a luxury charter business”

ALEJANDRO: 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for us. We’re planning to expand our operations, which includes adding more boats to our fleet to accommodate the increasing demand. We’re also looking to enhance our service offerings—possibly incorporating more exclusive packages and experiences. And, we’re exploring new markets beyond Marbella. We believe there’s still space to grow, and we want to bring our brand of luxury charters to other areas, though Marbella will always remain our home base.
AGUSTIN: Expansion sounds like a big step! What drives your confidence in growing the business in such a competitive market?
ALEJANDRO: The demand for luxury experiences, especially in a destination like Marbella, continues to grow. We’ve been fortunate to see strong business growth over the

Meet Julia Nikolaychuk, the visionary behind Fly Elite Deals, a unique service that helps members find Business Class flight deals with savings up to 70%. With a passion for travel and a desire to make luxury more accessible, Julia has transformed how we think about flying in comfort. We sat down with her to discuss the story behind Fly Elite Deals, its innovative offerings, and what lies ahead for the company.
Fly Elite Deals is a membership-based service designed to help people, whether for business or leisure, find unbeatable deals on Business Class flights. Julia explains the simple but powerful concept: “You shouldn’t have to overpay for luxury and comfort. We started Fly Elite Deals because we never thought flying Business Class was within our reach. We want more people to realize they can experience the comfort and relaxation of Business Class, without spending a fortune. It’s about starting your journey in the right way, the moment you board the plane .”
Fly Elite Deals takes the stress out of searching for affordable premium travel. The service provides curated deals from major European airports or offers personalized searches tailored to specific destinations and preferences.
No more wasted time searching for the best flight deals. With FlyElite, you’ll receive exclusive business class offers directly to your inbox, saving you time and effort. It’s never been easier to fly in luxury. We specialize in finding hidden deals so our members can enjoy luxurious flights—complete with comfort, fine dining, and exceptional service.
Fly Elite Deals operates in two main ways:
• Members receive Business Class flight offers from seven major European airports on a regular basis, which is over 365 deals a year.
• For those with specific travel plans, Fly Elite Deals offers personalised searches. Julia’s team finds the best offers based on flexible travel dates and preferred destinations, sending flight links directly to the customer, saving time and money.
While Fly Elite Deals is perfect for entrepreneurs and frequent business class travellers, Julia emphasizes that it’s designed for anyone who wants to fly in full comfort without overspending. “Our service is ideal for those who value luxury but appreciate savings—whether you’re a flexible freelancer, a young entrepreneur, or someone who loves traveling with family and friends, we make Business Class affordable and accessible for all.”
Currently, Fly Elite Deals focuses on deals from seven European cities—Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Warsaw, Frankfurt, Madrid, and Lisbon. But this is only the beginning. “We have entered the US market and have plans to expand further. One of our ultimate goals is to transition from our newsletter format to an app, which will make the service even more convenient.
Fly Elite Deals offers several membership options to cater to different traveller needs:
• Monthly subscription (€19.90): Perfect for those who want to try the service and evaluate significant flight savings.
• Yearly subscription (€229): Includes over 365 business-class deals a year,with saving up to 70% of regular fares, from Europe worldwide. This membership opens up more offers and other benefits.
Julia has ambitious plans for the future of Fly Elite Deals. She envisions building a platform similar to Booking. com or Skyscanner, but focused solely on Business and First Class flights
“There’s a gap in the market for this type of service, especially in Europe,”
To make this vision a reality, Julia is seeking investment to expand the platform and develop the app. The ideal investors, she notes, are those who understand the value of accessible luxury and see the untapped potential in premium travel.
Fly Elite Deals has already made a significant impact, saving clients large sums of money. One memorable success story Julia shared was about a last-minute flight to Japan. “Our client’s local airport, Malaga where flights are priced over €3,500, but we found a great deal from Madrid for €2,000, saving them €1,500 on an Etihad round-trip. Stories like this show the real value we bring.”
When asked for advice on starting a business in the travel industry, Julia highlights the importance of personalisation. “Pay close attention to trends that focus on personalisation. While AI and technology are important and widely used nowadays, a personal touch and excellent customer service can set you apart. Clients appreciate the effort we put into finding the perfect deals, and positive reviews often come without us having to ask.”
Fly Elite Deals is about redefining premium travel With Julia Nikolaychuk leading the way, this innovative service is set to change the perception of Business Class travel, making it accessible and affordable for all. Keep an eye on Fly Elite Deals as it continues to grow and has a lot more to offer. FlyElite –where your journey is a celebration of self-care, positive vibes and mindset of success.
