Built in the 1960’s, Centro Forestal Sueco in Marbella used to be a recreational centre for the Swedish Forest Agency. When Swedish property developer Quartiers Properties bought the premises more than 50 years later, it had definitely seen better days. The run-down property was a true challenge, but the location and the 30.000 sqm. garden offered great potential to create an secret and green hideaway. With the ambition to offer something slightly different to the luxurious Marbella market, Stylt created a new concept, a brand and interior design to what would become Boho Club.
Located on Marbella’s Golden Mile, Boho Club is not your average resort. Instead, it’s an upscale and stylish hide-away, yet bohemian and eclectic in a laid-back style. Being the opposite to impersonal large hotels chains as well as old-fashioned luxury, the ambience is intimate and friendly with the sense of a private members club mentality. This mindset is embodied by the interior design for every area of the resort, its 24 hotel rooms, 19 bungalows, the private villa, restaurant, bars and pool area.
The interior design is characterized by great personality and well-matched contrasts. Modernity meets classics in bold and surprising mixes of bamboo and velvet, golden mosaics and traditional rustic tiles, strong colors and soft natural fabrics. Handpicked and sometimes odd furniture, objects and art add a personal fingerprint, far from traditional and often flat Marbella luxury.
The restaurant at Boho Club is run by acclaimed Michelin star chef Diego Del Rio. Just like the resort itself, it’s far more relaxed and intimate than its neighbours. In this elegant yet laid-back open dining space with many different settings and moods, hippe-chic meets Spanish-Mediterranean haute cuisine, well rooted in Andalusian traditions.
The brave blend of bohemianism and flair gives Boho Club a relaxed atmosphere with a big wow-factor. Crowned with a 30.000 sqm. lush garden and hangout areas, this is a well-curated and well-crafted place, playful, informal, vibrant and fun.
