Look out of your window; is it rainy and miserable? Fancy a little fun in the sun? It\u2019s easy: log on to one of the budget airline websites and grab a cheap flight to M\u00e1laga. Actually, you might want to check on our website first \u2013 just to make sure we have availability! Once you\u2019ve got your flight and have booked accommodation (we\u2019ve got some fantastic winter offers for seniors<\/a><\/span>) <\/span>we\u2019ll take care of the rest!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s 5 suggestions on what to do during your winter break at Sunset:<\/p>\n

\"playing<\/a>

A game of Darts<\/p><\/div>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 First of all, get those bags unpacked and head straight down to our fantastic landscaped pool area. Hopefully the sun will be shining \u2013 we do have over 300 days of sunshine a year \u2013 and you can enjoy a quiet drink whilst soaking up some of our Mediterranean sun. Feeling relaxed? Good\u2026.now its time to join in some fun activities. Our in house entertainment team organise a wide range of activities over the winter months: Exercise classes, petanca, darts, bingo, bridge; you can even learn <\/a>how to make a traditional Spanish paella<\/a><\/span> at one of our cooking lessons!<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Game of Golf or some pampering at our \u201cThalgo\u201d beauty salon? Decisions, decisions\u2026\u2026.. If you choose to play golf, just head up to our Golf and Leisure desk on the 6th<\/sup> floor and they will take care of everything for you. You\u2019ve got a choice of the top courses on the Coast to choose from and you can purchase tee times at discounted rates. If a little pampering is more to your liking, you can indulge in some fantastic treatments in our onsite beauty salon. Marine Algae envelopment for anyone?<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>

Learn how to make a Paella!<\/p><\/div>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ok, it\u2019s time to head back up to the leisure desk and ask for advice on excursions and sightseeing tips. The Costa del Sol is often associated with beach and sun holidays; what many people do not realise is that we have a wonderful selection of cultural and historical treats too! Ask about tours to M\u00e1laga city centre where you can see the wonderful cathedral and the famous Picasso Museum. If you feel a little more adventurous, consider taking the trip to the Alhambra Palace in Granada; short listed as a potential 8th<\/sup> wonder of the world, it\u2019s Moorish architecture and amazing views will not disappoint.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Go Shopping!!! There\u2019s plenty of choice when it comes to shopping. The El Corte Ingl\u00e9s shopping centres are always popular as is the Plaza Mayor centre just outside M\u00e1laga. If luxury is what you are looking for, then look no further than the world famous Puerto Ban\u00fas with its expensive boutiques and amazing choice of restaurants; even if you just fancy a little window shopping, this is the place to go.<\/p>\n

\"promenade<\/a>

An evening stroll on the Promenade?<\/p><\/div>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Forget the above and just take a gentle stroll along the new promenade in front of the hotel; perfect at any time of day during the winter months. You can even walk down to the Marina (about 25mins) stopping off on the way for a couple of tapas and a refreshing drink; don\u2019t forget to take a good book too! The perfect way to end your day? I suggest you visit our Oasis Restaurant where you can dine in style and dance the evening away to live music.<\/p>\n
