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.

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; we totally agree! That’s why we have recently given our famous hot buffet breakfast a small “face lift”.
Taking note of previous customer comments, Miguel, our Operations Director decided that it was time to make a few changes: We have improved the overall presentation of the buffet (see photos), increased the variety of the food and drinks on offer – the new coffee and orange juice machines are getting great reviews – and we have changed our baked goods supplier; the Danish pastries are to die for!
Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you visit the Oasis Restaurant for our hot buffet breakfast:

Make a note of the date in your diary: Saturday the 12th March at 8pm at Sunset Beach Club’s Moonlight Rooms. This is the date chosen for our “Gala Carnaval”, an amazing evening of gourmet food, fine wines and live music; the best part is that all proceeds from the gala will be donated to the Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice in Benalmadena.
Every year, Sunset Beach Club makes a donation to this very important charity; however, this year, we’ve decided to try something a little different in an attempt to raise more funds for Cudeca. The “Gala Carnaval” will give us the perfect opportunity to do just that; tickets to the event will go on sale in the next few days and all proceeds will go to Cudeca.
We’ve got a real treat planned for all those who show their support for Cudeca and buy tickets to the event. Our Head Chef, Paul Tugwell, and his team have prepared an incredible 6 course gourmet meal (See Menu below) which will be accompanied by a fine selection of wines , specially selected by wine expert Charlotte Rodriguez, from Cervinco Wines.
6 Course Gourmet Menu
Gala guests will also be treated to an enviable line up of music and entertainment with the Marbella Big band and the King of Swing, Ricky Lavazza, both performing live on stage; not to be missed!
One of the highlights of the evening will be the Art Auction: A number of well known artists on the Coast have been kind enough to donate samples of their work to be auctioned on the evening. This will be a fantastic opportunity to raise extra funds for the Cudeca hospice.
Tickets to the “Gala Carnaval” are priced at €50 per person and can be purchased at Sunset Beach Club’s Leisure Desk or by calling 952 579 400.
Places are limited so make sure you book soon to avoid disappointment!

"Viva"
Last Saturday evening, guests enjoying a meal in our Oasis Restaurant were treated to a somewhat different musical experience: an impromptu performance by the “Viva” quartet, four very talented singers who are members of SABS, the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers.
Gail, Barbara, Anthea and Lyn were enjoying a relaxing weekend break at Sunset Beach Club and whilst dining in the hotel’s restaurant, were invited by hotel entertainer, Tina Rose, to get up and sing for our guests. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Barbershop harmony, Gail and the rest of the “Viva” quartet sing a cappella; basically, it’s unaccompanied vocal music. No music, no instruments, just four fantastic voices each with a distinctive tone. Great fun to watch and even better to listen to!
The “Viva” quartet hope to visit Sunset Beach Club again soon; who knows, we might even be able to persuade them to put on a show for us! In the meantime, they will be busy preparing for their associations annual get together, suitable named “En Armonía” (In Harmony) which takes place in Murcia from the 8th to the 11th April.
Anyone interested in Barbershop singing can find out more about the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers on www.sabs.es
