Cristiano Ronaldo-backed Vega Private Members Club to open in Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo is expanding his luxury business portfolio with the launch of the Vega Private Members Club in Madrid, Spain, positioning it as one of Europe’s most exclusive private social and business destinations.

Contrary to earlier speculation linking the concept to Dubai, the ultra-exclusive club will open on Madrid’s prestigious Golden Mile, at Lagasca 88. Designed for elite networking and complete discretion, Vega operates under a strict no-phones policy, banning mobile devices, filming, and photography within the premises.

Privacy is a defining principle of the club, aimed at attracting high-profile entrepreneurs, athletes, creatives, and global business leaders seeking a secure, invitation-only environment.

Membership and exclusivity

The most exclusive tier, the Founders Membership, is invitation-only and requires a one-time fee of approximately €15,000 (around $16,400) for lifetime access. Additional annual memberships are available starting at around €2,400, along with a joining fee, reinforcing the club’s elite positioning.

A dual-purpose luxury space

Spanning 1,000 square meters, Vega is designed to transition seamlessly between business and social functions.

During the day, the club operates as a discreet professional hub, offering private offices, meeting rooms, co-working areas, and a podcast studio, catering to members who value productivity in a private setting.

By night, the venue transforms into a high-end social destination, featuring a contemporary bistro, a fine-dining restaurant, an Italian eatery, and a private wine club, creating a refined atmosphere for curated networking and social engagement.

Ronaldo’s post-football vision

The Vega Private Members Club is part of Cristiano Ronaldo’s broader expansion into luxury hospitality and lifestyle ventures, developed in partnership with Mabel Hospitality and Spanish entrepreneur Íñigo Onieva. The project reflects Ronaldo’s long-term vision as he prepares for life beyond professional football, focusing on premium, experience-driven businesses.

With its emphasis on discretion, design, and elite access, Vega is set to become one of Madrid’s most talked-about private clubs, offering members a rare blend of privacy, business, and luxury in the heart of the city.
