Members of Alma Sensai, an exclusive women’s club in Madrid, are left bewildered and angry after its sudden closure amidst revelations of substantial debts.
Alma Sensai, a prestigious club located in Madrid's upscale Barrio de Salamanca and tailored exclusively for women, has left its members in shock following its abrupt closure. Known for catering to successful businesswomen with networking events and social gatherings, the club operated within a lavish palace-like venue. However, the unexpected closure on January 29, with police intervention, raised alarms about unpaid debts that had been festering for nearly eight years, unbeknownst to the members.
As more information emerged post-closure, members expressed feelings of betrayal, particularly those who had been pressured to pay their dues only weeks before the shutdown. The luxurious amenities that once adorned the club now stand in stark contrast to the financial mismanagement that has led to a million-euro debt. Many patrons are left questioning how such issues could have persisted without their knowledge while they enjoyed the exclusivity and prestige of the club.
The implications of this scandal extend beyond the individual disappointment of the members, signalling larger concerns about transparency and financial responsibility in private clubs. The case highlights the need for greater scrutiny within exclusive venues of this nature and raises questions about the possible repercussions for those responsible for the club’s operations, now believed to be unreachable, essentially having disappeared after plunging the club into financial turmoil.
