Fancy a dance holiday in sunny Spain this coming Winter?
Get away from the damp and cold UK and Irish winters and jet off to sunny ‘España’ for an amazing dance holiday here at Sunset Beach Club in Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, next January (2024). With average daily maximum temperatures of 18ºC in January, clear skies and sunshine prevailing and only 6 days of rain in the whole month (2016 figures), it’s the perfect destination for your next dance holiday abroad!
From the 15th to the 17th September Benalmadena will host a new edition of its Oktoberfest Beer Festival.
This fun concept has been highly successful in other towns along the Costa del Sol and now returns to Benalmadena for 3 days of fun and the best beers! The event takes place in Plaza Adolfo Suárez (Pueblo Sol).
This Beer Festival will bring together the essence of the world-famous Oktoberfest celebrations and the hospitality of Benalmadena and its citizens. Visitors to the festival will have the opportunity to sample more than 20 different beers from Germany and other parts of the world, and we mustn’t forget the delicious and typical German foods on offer… Roast pork, a wide variety of sausages, sauerkraut and pretzels to name but a few!
Sunset Beach Club is proud to have been selected, once again, as the official hotel partner for the European Cricket Championship (ECC) which takes place at the Cartama Oval from the 25th September to the 20th October 2023.
Teams from 31 European Countries will take part in the T-10 competition and will be split into 6 groups, each consisting of 5 teams. The shortened format of these matches – they last 90 minutes – means that cricket fans can enjoy several matches each day.
Friday 8th September 2023 sees the start of, the ‘Festival of Legends’ at the Benalmádena Auditorium. This cultural event will offer top-class ‘Tribute’ concerts throughout the month of September and October.
The concert series begins on Friday the 8th September with two shows, a tribute to Tina Turner and ‘The New Band’ who will be performing music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Throughout September and October we can also enjoy an exciting program composed of great artists who will perform hits by musical legends such as James Brown, Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston. A highlight this year will be that many of the shows will include professional dancers to add to the spectacle.
Visiting Benalmadena during the busy summer months – July & August – can be stressful. Too many people, too much traffic, too many queues, it’s too hot… stress!
However, if you’re willing to hold off on your holiday plans until September, the panorama changes… drastically!
September is probably one of the best times of year to visit Benalmadena. Although it’s still busy, kids are back at school and Spanish travellers (who usually holiday in August) are back at work. You’ll also find that flights and accommodation are considerably cheaper and the weather is still fantastic; lots of sunshine but not as stiflingly hot as July and August.
From Thursday 24th August to Sunday 27th August 2023, Benalmádena Pueblo (the old town) will host the latest edition of its Arabian Market (Zoco), an event that once again returns to the town’s summer cultural programme.
The Arab Market will take place in the following locations throughout the town: Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Plaza de España; in Calle Real and in the ‘Jardines del Muro’. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will again attract tourists from all over the Coast.
The busy wedding show season starts this September when we head to Ireland to attend the Wedding & Honeymoon Show at Dublin’s RDS.
On Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September 2023, our Wedding team will be manning our stand and will be available to answer any questions or queries you may have about getting married in Spain. You’ll also have the chance to collect lots of great information about the different wedding options and packages we offer at Sunset Beach Club. (more…)
This week (from the 11th to the 15th August) is ‘Feria’ week here in Benalmadena with the ‘Pueblo’ (Town) celebrating festivities in honour of their patron, the Virgen de la Cruz.
Obviously, this is a very traditional event and many of the activities and events organised for the week may not appeal to many of our guests; however, we’ve put together a short list of – what we feel are – some of the highlights of the fair and that you might enjoy. Here goes…
This weekend sees the start of the Costa del Sol’s largest and most popular fair, the Malaga Fair or Feria de Málaga as it’s referred to here!

If you haven’t been before, we highly recommend you do so! Get ready for 8 days of fun and entertainment as the city welcomes thousands of visitors from all over Spain for, what has become, the most popular summer fair in Andalucía and one of the most popular festivities in Spain.
The fair starts on Friday 11th August with a special Drone light show at 11:50pm. After the success of last year’s unique show, this year promises to be even more spectacular with 240 drones flying at the same time through the Malaga skies.
From midnight, we’ll be able to enjoy the spectacular pyro-musical and firework display from the cruise terminal access area in Malaga Port. Lasting 20 minutes and using more than 500 kilos of gunpowder, it’s show you wont want to miss!
The official opening of the fair takes place on Saturday 12th August in the same location as last year; the Cortijo de Torres fairground. Local basketball ace Alberto Díaz Ortiz who plays for local club Unicaja will conduct the traditional ‘Pregon’ (opening speech) before the switching on of the fair lights.
