Rocio, Raul and Patri....We Will Rock You!
A couple of weeks ago, Rocio, Raul and Patri, from our entertainment team, made the most of a weekend trip to London. Apart from taking in many of the more traditional tourist attractions, the team had an alterior motive for their trip: They had booked tickets to see two of London’s top musicals.
It is not uncommon for visitors to the capital city to want to watch one of the many amazing shows on offer; however, Rocio and the team were very keen to see “We Will Rock You” and “The Lion King”.
Why? Because those are going to be the tribute shows they will be preparing for this summer’s entertainment programme at Sunset Beach Club!
The Lion King.....
Guests visiting the hotel this summer season will be able to enjoy both of these shows (dates are yet to be confirmed) which will be performed weekly at the Moonlight Theatre.
The team is busy rehearsing for the shows and preparing all the costumes and wardrobe; I’ll try and sneak in to one of their rehearsals to give you a quick preview of what to expect……stay tuned for more information!

An artist's impression of "Luna Beach"
Many of our regular guests will be familiar with the Pierino’s, located just a few minutes walk from the hotel. This popular beach restaurant belongs to the hotel but for the past couple of years has been successfully managed by an outside contractor.
Well, this year, it’s all change as we once again take over the day to day management of this idyllic beach side location and launch a new and improved facility for all our guests. Although the beach restaurant has been very popular amongst guests and local clientele, this year we will be looking to take it to another level entirely…
The venue has been renamed and will now be known as the “Luna Beach”. It’s not just a new name; plans are in place for an ambitious make over which will transform it into being one of the trendiest and most popular operations of its kind in Benalmadena.
Work commenced a couple of weeks ago and the new decking and terrace have now been completed (see photos). We are now waiting for the amazing sail style awnings; an exquisite designer look which will provide cool shade during those hot summer months. The artists impression above will give you an idea of what “Luna Beach” will look like when its finished…impressive isn’t it?
There will be ample space for tables and chairs where guests can enjoy food from the delicious new menu which our Head Chef is just adding the finishing touches too (I’ll be sure to post about that soon!).
New decking at "Luna Beach"
One of the new decking areas will incorporate an amazing lounge and chill out area with comfortable seating – I’m thinking a cool Mojito whilst listening to some great tunes from one of the resident DJ’s – Yes, we’ll have several resident DJ’s who’ll be playing a wide selection of music; the state of the art lighting and sound systems will also contribute to the overall enhanced guest experience.
We’ve got lots of great ideas for Luna Beach….can’t reveal them all just yet; however, here’s a little taster of what you can expect:
- Weekly “Sun downer” party for hotel guests (from 7pm to 11pm) with DJ’s and live music. You’ll be able to enjoy snacks from the bbq, sangria, wine and we’ll even have the activities team to look after the kids on the beach.
- Possibility to reserve sun beds on the beach
- Live music at the weekend
- Regular DJ spots
Stay tuned for more updates. I’ll be posting photos of work-in-progress as we lead up to the great opening in May!

Champions of the Tigers League!!!
We recently welcomed the Benalmadena Bowls Club to Sunset Beach Club. The recently crowned Tiger’s League champions decided to celebrate their victory in style with 72 members of the club enjoying a fun evening which included a prize giving dinner and live music.
The Club decided on a more intimate and private evening and chose our “Sala Malaga” function room with its spectacular sea views, private bar and dance floor. Our Head Chef prepared a delicious 3 course menu for the occasion and the Rioja was flowing as the Champions celebrated their title!
After the meal, the bowlers headed down to our Moonlight Bar for the Ricky Lavazza Show; a great way to round off a fun evening.
“Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!!! It was stunning, small details made it very special. Every one thought it was a lovely venue and enjoyed themselves very much” Amber Dineen, Benalmadena Bowls Club
Benalmadena Bowls Club has been in operation since 2005. Located in the hills behind Benalmadena, the club’s facilities are some of the best on the coast; with an all-weather, eight rink, artificial green and amazing panoramic views of the coast, it’s a bowler’s paradise.
As from later on this year, Sunset Beach Club will be offering Bowling Holiday Packages (From €252 pp for 7 nights) which will include use of the fantastic facilities at the Benalmadena Bowls Club. Individuals staying at Sunset Beach Club can arrange the odd game during their stay by speaking to Annemie on our Leisure Desk; visiting bowls clubs or larger groups can pre-book competitions and play against Benalmadena Bowls Club and other local clubs.

There was a great atmosphere at Sunset Beach Club for the St Patrick’s Day celebrations. The fun started in the Panorama Bar with happy hour and free canapés at 6:30pm; after that, guests made their way down to the Oasis restaurant for a lovely meal and great live music with Phoebe!
Here’s the photos taken throughout the evening. Can you see anyone you know?
