I can’t believe we’re almost at the end of October; we’ll be singing Christmas carols in no time! As you can imagine, Christmas and New Year are busy times for us here at the hotel and an incredible amount of work goes in to preparing for the Christmas festivities.
One of the most important items on the “To Do” list is the preparation of our yearly Festive Programme. Well, I’m pleased to say that the new programme is available for you to view or download on our website. – Sunset Beach Club Festive Programme
If you aren’t sure about where to spend this Christmas, you may want to take a look at the menus for the Christmas Day Lunch and the New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner; they look fantastic! Have we convinced you yet? If you need a little more convincing, just have a look at our special rates for this winter….. see, I told you!
A great Festive Programme and Christmas in the Sun, what more could you ask for?
We had a full house for the “Back to the 40’s” Show at the Moonlight on Monday evening! Hundreds of people enjoyed a great evening of singing and dancing and judging by the applause, the night was a great success.
Here’s a few photos I took throughout the show as well as a short video with various clips.(please excuse the video editing ;-))

Active Sound Productions, who specialise in the organisation of musical events on the Costa del Sol, will present a night of the very best Blues music at Sunset Beach Club’s Moonlight Cabaret Bar on Saturday the 2nd October.
With performances from Steve Payne(UK) and the Johan Wahlstrom Band(Sweden), the evening promises some of the best of the Blues.
A little about the musicians….
Steve Payne is a composer, singer and producer who has been described as “one of the UK’s finest guitarists”. Calm but passionate, with a distinct melodic voice and unique way of playing the guitar Steve draws energy from the crowd creating a vibrant atmosphere anywhere he performs.
The Johan Wahlstrom Band is made up by some of the members of famous Swedish group “Stockholm Stoner” and prestigious local musicians such as Jazz singer Elena Salguero and pianist Gabriel Zenni. Half of the group’s repertoire is written by Johan Wahlstrom himself and the others are versions of classic tracks.
The show starts at 10:00pm and tickets are available at the El Corte Inglés stores. (A bargain at €10) 🙂
