“Olivia Valere, the queen of the night in Marbella, the queen of the discotheques, has just died… a couple of months ago I saw her for the last time… she was already ill, a pity. A Myth of Spain and Andalucia has died.

Olivia Valere opened her first discotheque in Paris, in 1981, at a time when few women were involved in such ventures, turning her into a strong and independent business icon for women worldwide.

She opened the iconic  “Olivia Valere Club” in Marbella, Malaga, Spain in 1984, after a birthday trip to the Costa del Sol ended with her “falling in love with Marbella”. She also owned other clubs in locations as varied as Morocco, Argentina and Lebanon.
