Holidaymakers visiting Benalmadena and the Costa del Sol in August 2026 are in for a real treat! On Wednesday 12th August 2026, one of the most remarkable astronomical events of the decade will be visible from Benalmádena: a solar eclipse. While the path of totality will pass further north across parts of Spain, we’ll still enjoy an impressive partial eclipse with around 94-95% of the Sun covered by the Moon.
Here’s everything you need to know about experiencing this unforgettable event during your stay at Sunset Beach Club.
If you’re staying at Sunset Beach Club this week and looking for something a little different to enjoy in the evening, the Birra & Art Craft & International Beer Festival is taking place in Benalmádena Pueblo from 23rd to 26th July.
Held at the Recinto Ferial Los Nadales (the fairground), this popular summer event combines craft beer, live music and a lively atmosphere in one of the Costa del Sol’s most charming settings.
During the months of July and August, Benalmadena town hall has once again organized a special programme called “Cultura en la Calle” (Culture in the streets), an impressive selection of free cultural shows in different locations around the municipality (Benalmadena Pueblo, Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Costa).
You’ll be able to enjoy entertainment in the following locations: Plaza Adolfo Suárez (Pueblosol), Paloma Park, Plaza de la Tribuna, Los Nadales Fairground, Malapesquera Beach and the area in front of Bil-Bil Castle (just a few minutes walk from Sunset Beach Club).
Next Tuesday the 23rd June, the beaches of Benalmádena – and many other Spanish towns and cities – will come alive to celebrate the Night of San Juan.
This not-to-be-missed date on the local festivities calendar coincides (nearly…) with the summer solstice; the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of summer!
Concert season is in full swing on the Costa del Sol. Many of our guests like to know what’s going on up and down the Coast as they often like to get out and experience some of the great nightlife we have on offer in this wonderful part of the world and a good concert is the perfect excuse for a great night out.
Yes, we do have a great entertainment programme on-site at Sunset Beach Club, with live music, tribute bands and musicals; however, sometimes even we can’t compete with the likes of Maroon 5, Lenny Kravitz or Sting!
There are plenty of live concerts programmed along the coast over the summer: Below, we have highlighted some of the top concerts and shows with information on specific dates, venues and ticket prices.

If you’re staying with us at Sunset Beach Club this weekend and looking for something fun, colourful, and delicious to do, you’re in luck! Benalmádena is celebrating the 1st International Festival of Cultures, a brand‑new event that promises to take you on a trip around the world, without ever leaving the Costa del Sol.
