Although we get many repeat guests at Sunset Beach Club, many are first-timers and as a result, often require local information to help them get around.
Our Leisure Desk and Reception staff are more than happy to provide guests with local information and a long list of things to do; however, it is handy to have a quick reference on hand before travelling so that you can plan your activities and decide where to go and what to see. (more…)

The Costa del Sol is one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations attracting visitors from all over the world. We all know that the busy Easter and Summer holiday periods are the most popular with hotels at full capacity and local businesses, bars and restaurants busier than ever.

We can finally enjoy ice skating in Benalmadena again!
At the end of October, the new Palacio de Deportes (former Ice Club) opened to the public with great facilities, including a magnificent 600 square metre ice rink.
It’s the only ice rink in Andalusia and will undoubtedly become a major visitor attraction for Benalmadena as it offers a unique sporting activity which will be available all year round.
