Diva Beach is the latest ‘Boutique Club’ to open in the heart of London. Opening its doors to the public on the 26th September 2008, the club is inspired by Miami’s South Beach and is situated in the heart of Chelsea.
The interior design draws on influences from Miami’s 1930’s art deco style combined with a more sophisticated beach culture. As you can see from the piccies, it’s quite a venue!
Attention to detail is key here, even the mirrors have been hand selected to make divas look sun kissed and gorgeous! The materials chosen include a bespoke blend of iridescent mosaics, layers of shimmer fabrics, hand-finished polished plasters and glistening marbles.

Rémy Martin is preparing to release their latest luxury Fine Champagne Cognac, Louis XIII.
This classic 70cl carafe of Louis XIII is presented in a beautiful silk lined casket with a Baccarat crystal decanter and fleur-de-lys stopper.
Using only grapes from the Grande Champagne area (which produces the finest cognacs) in the heart of the Cognac vineyard, 100 year old Louis XIII has been carefully tended by three generations of Cellar Masters. Louis XIII is incredibly rich with hints of jasmine, saffron and five spice aromas. A single drop will infuse the whole mouth with subtle flavours of fig, sandalwood and ginger.
Prices per 70cl bottle £1200.
Riedel Crystal, the luxury Austrian tableware and stemware innovator has created three ultra-stylish new glass decanters, all inspired by some of the planet’s most graceful and elegant birds.
These new decanters are innovative and exceptional in both form and function. The new forms are mouth- and hand-blown lead crystal, which will help your wine to aerate and open up allowing the aromas and flavours to be fully appreciated. Young as well as old wines benefit from the process, and it’s not necessary to be a wine buff to appreciate the difference decanting a wine can make.
The Swan Decanter: (£240) Mouth-blown from lead crystal, wine is poured into the wider opening – the swan’s tail – which forms a natural handle, then pours into the glass from the long narrow neck. The Swan Decanter has been awarded Highly Commended Luxury Gift of the Year 2008.
