Northern Soul promoters, GoldSoul, are heading back to Sunset Beach Club this February with another edition of their winter soul break, a fun-packed 5-day soul music experience!
If you’re planning a trip to Málaga this month, make sure you don’t miss this unique experience! The historic replica of the Nao Santa María, one of the most iconic sailing vessels in maritime history, is making a stop in the city’s port.
A Floating Piece of History
The Nao Santa María is a faithful and to-scale reconstruction of the legendary vessel which Christopher Columbus sailed to the Americas on in 1492. Built in 2018 using traditional shipbuilding techniques, this stunning replica offers visitors a chance to step aboard and immerse themselves in the life of 15th-century sailors.
Ricky Lavazza, one of Sunset Beach Club’s most popular entertainers, is putting on another edition of his special and fun-packed weekend of Rock ‘n roll and music from the 50’s & 60’s. From Friday 23rd January to Monday 26th January (2026) you’ll be able to enjoy great music and activities throughout the weekend.
After another successful event last year, this year will also feature 4 days of music and fun with all the greatest hits from the 50’s and 60’s.
Guests purchasing tickets for the whole event (including accommodation) are in for 4 days of fun with a packed activities program. It all kicks off on Friday 23rd January with a welcome drink followed by Professional dance Sessions in the Sala Ronda. At 9:00pm you can enjoy the first of 4 amazing shows in the Moonlight Bar. ‘Revival live band’ will be Ricky’s guests for the Rock n’ Roll Rewind Show playing songs from stars like Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Eddie Cochran and lots more!
On Saturday 24th January, you’ll be able to enjoy dance lessons at 11.00am in Sala Ronda followed by Twisting at ‘La Terraza’ with the Paella Party and live music at 2:00pm. (more…)
In the afternoon of Monday 5th January, kids all over Spain will be lining the streets of all the main towns and cities to watch the traditional Three Kings Parades.
This is the highlight of the Christmas festivities and a must-watch for anyone visiting at this magical time of year. Many of our guests like to venture into town and watch the colourful parades so we’ve put together this blog post highlighting some of our favourite processions with timetables and the exact locations of each. All you have to do is choose the most appealing to you!
Although not the high season here in Benalmadena, Christmas time offers lots of interesting things to keep the whole family entertained.
Our guests often ask us for recommendations on things to do at this time of year so we’ve decided to put together this list which includes activities and specific places you can visit during the holidays. Although the title of this post specifically states Benalmadena, you’ll find that our list wanders a little further down the Coast; that being said, all of these places are well connected by public transport.
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol this Christmas, I’m sure you’ll find something of interest on the list. Here goes…
Looking for a magical plan this Christmas? Just 45 minutes by car from Sunset Beach Club, the La Concepción Botanical Gardens in Málaga transform into a fantasy world with Alice Christmas, a nighttime tour inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It’s the perfect plan for families, couples, and nature lovers!
What Will You Find at Alice Christmas?
At Alice Christmas, the La Concepción Botanical Gardens become a dreamlike setting. During a tour of approximately one hour and forty-five minutes, you’ll immerse yourself in a 2.2-kilometre illuminated route that combines nature, light, and fantasy.
Benalmadena is ready for Christmas. During December and the beginning of January, we´ll enjoy a wide and varied program of activities for the whole family.
Below we’ve highlighted some of these activities and at the end of this post you will find a link to the complete program – we couldn’t fit the whole thing in the post! (Please note that the program is in Spanish)
With just a couple of weeks to go until Christmas, Benalmádena is getting into the Christmas spirit by celebrating the 16th edition of the International Christmas Festival.
On the 28th, 29th and 30th November, you can visit Plaza Mezquita from 12:00h to midnight and enjoy the festive customs, musical shows, exquisite gastronomy and typical products and crafts from all the participating countries.
This is what the Malaga Christmas Lights will look like this year (2025)
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol this Christmas, you’ve got to visit Málaga City Centre to see the stunning Christmas Light display and show in the city’s famous Calle Larios as well as other colourful decorations throughout the city centre.
Have you made any plans for Christmas and New Year’s Eve?
It’s a fun and exciting time to visit Sunset Beach Club, and whilst it’s a little different from spending it in front of the fire with rain or snow outside, there’s something special about enjoying a glass of Bucks Fizz whilst sitting out in the Winter sunshine 🙂
As is the tradition at Sunset Beach Club, we’ve put together another fantastic Festive Programme for all guests who spend Christmas and New Year with us (see below). (more…)
