With just over a week to go until Christmas, Málaga city centre is bustling with festive fun and excitement!
A walk through the streets of the city’s historic centre at Christmas time is an experience we would recommend to all who visit the Costa del Sol at this time of year. The stunning Christmas lights, mouth-watering gastronomy and magical ambience make for a truly wonderful visit to the Coast’s capital.
There’s lots going on in Malaga over Christmas; however, the four suggestions listed below are absolute musts: (more…)
Although not the high season here in Benalmadena, Christmas time offers lots of interesting things to keep the whole family entertained.
Our guests often ask us for recommendations on things to do at this time of year so we’ve decided to put together this list which includes activities and specific places you can visit during the holidays. Although the title of this post specifically states Benalmadena, you’ll find that our list wanders a little further down the Coast; that being said, all of these places are well connected by public transport.
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol this Christmas I’m sure you’ll find something of interest on the list. Here goes… (more…)
With just a couple of weeks to go until Christmas, Benalmádena is getting into the Christmas spirit by celebrating the 15th edition of the International Christmas Festival.
On the 13th, 14th and 15th of December, you can visit Plaza Mezquita (it was Plaza Adolfo Suarez last year but they’ve changed it back to its original location again this year) from 13:00h to midnight (until 21:00h on Sunday 15th December) and enjoy the festive customs, musical shows, exquisite gastronomy and typical products and crafts from all the participating countries.
As the official hotel partner of the European Cricket Network, we’re delighted to welcome them back for the second edition of the successful Women’s European Cricket Championship which will be held at the Cartama Oval from the 9th to the 20th December 2024.
This exciting tournament will follow in its men’s counterpart’s footsteps and be divided into two divisions; the Challenger and Premier. As we experienced with the men’s Championship held in October, this new format will ensure competitive balance and allow all participating teams to show off their skills at the Cartama Oval.
Another unique feature this year is that we’ll have two champions crowned, one for each division.
The teams taking part this year are as follows:
Challenger Division
Premier Division
Spain
England XI
Austria
Ireland XI
Germany
Scotland XI
Jersey
Netherlands XI
Czechia
Italy
From the 9th to 15th December we’ll see the Challenger division teams take to the field and we’re hoping to see a repeat of the great cricket experienced last year!
From the 15th to the 20th December Europe’s top cricketing nations take centre stage with the England XI looking to retain their ‘Champions’ status. We’re sure last year’s runners-up, Netherlands XI will have something to say about that!
We look forward to welcoming all the teams to Sunset Beach Club next week and can’t wait to sit back and enjoy some world-class women’s cricket over the next couple of weeks!
Anyone looking to stay at Sunset Beach Club during the tournament can check availability and prices online through our website www.sunsetbeachclub.com.
Have you made any plans for Christmas and New Year?
It’s a fun and exciting time to visit Sunset Beach Club, and whilst it’s a little different than spending it in front of the fire with rain or snow outside, there’s something special about enjoying a glass of Bucks Fizz whilst sitting out in the Winter sunshine 🙂
As is the tradition at Sunset Beach Club, we’ve put together another fantastic Festive Programme for all guests who spend Christmas and New Year with us (see below). (more…)
Do you want to visit a replica of the first sailing ship to sail around the world?
Well, you’re in luck because this December, the Nao Victoria, a replica of the first ship to circumnavigate the world, will visit Benalmadena and Malaga.
From December 4 to 7, 2024 it will be docked in Puerto Marina, Benalmádena and from December 12, 2024 to January 12, 2025 you can visit it in the Muelle Uno area of the Port of Malaga.
As of Tuesday 3rd December 2024, some apartment types at Sunset Beach Club will have new names.
Why? We hear you ask… Well, it’s all to do with new tourism legislation.
This new legislation requires us to change the name of some of our room types, particularly our ‘1 bedroom apartments’ now called ‘Studio-apartments’. The chart below shows you a full list of all our apartment types with the old and new names.
We want to reassure you that these are just name changes and there is NO change to room layouts of descriptions.
So if you arrive on holiday at Sunset Beach Club and see that the name of the apartment type you have been assigned doesn’t coincide with what you have on your reservation confirmation, don’t panic! You haven’t been given a different apartment, it’s just got a new name.
If you have any questions or queries about this ‘Name change’, our staff are available to help you. You can call or email our reservations team or send a Live Chat message through our website (www.sunsetbeachclub.com).
Benalmadena is ready for Christmas. During December and the beginning of January, we´ll enjoy a wide and varied program of activities for the whole family.
Below we’ve highlighted some of these activities and at the end of this post you will find a link to the complete program – we couldn’t fit the whole thing in the post! (Please note that the program is in Spanish)
From the 28th November, until 9th December, fast-food lovers, specifically those who enjoy a good burger, can enjoy ‘The Champions Burger’, a gastronomic festival which after the success of last year’s edition is coming back to Malaga and will be held next to the Cruise Terminal in Malaga Port.
It’s going to be a little different this year as it’s a special edition dedicated exclusively to finding the best ‘Smash Burger’ in Spain. If you’re a fan of this latest craze in the world of Hamburgers, you wont want to miss the opportunity to try some of the best in Spain.
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol this Christmas, you’ve got to visit Málaga City Centre to see the stunning Christmas Light display and show in the city’s famous Calle Larios as well as other colourful decorations throughout the city centre.
