This summer Benalmádena’s beaches will be a little safer…
The City Council has just announced that they will be launching a new application called ‘Social Beach’ so that we can know in real-time the capacity of each beach in the town.
This is a pilot project on Benalmádena`s beaches that aims to control capacity and health and safety measures along the municipality’s coastline during the summer months.

Summer will soon be upon us and it looks like we’re in for a hot one! So we thought we’d put together a list of refreshing summer drinks to help ward off the heat and keep cool.
Many of these are alcoholic but it’s easy to make them into non-alcoholic versions. You’ll recognise a few of but we’re sure there are some you’ve never heard of and may even seem a little strange… we recommend you try them all; you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
For those of you who like to try out new drinks at home or would like to impress friends when you get home from your hols, we’ve included a list of ingredients and instructions on how to prepare each of these delicious summer drinks. Cheers! (more…)
Nobody doubts the fact that summer 2020 in Benalmádena and the Costa del Sol is going to be different. However, the Malaga coast will continue to be an ideal destination to leave the nightmares of the pandemic behind and to enjoy a safe and memorable family holiday.
This year, more than ever, Sunset Beach Club apartments provide the perfect type of accommodation for families seeking security, tranquillity and privacy. As these are apartments with a full kitchen, you won’t have to worry about queuing at the buffet of a traditional hotel and getting overwhelmed by crowds. Having your own kitchen you can prepare your own meals and enjoy them on the sunny terrace of your apartment.

As a reader of our blog and possibly a customer and friend of our hotel, we wanted to keep you informed about the latest news and how the immediate future looks for our business.
After eight hard weeks, it seems that we can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Although the recent de-escalation plan proposed by the government presents us with operational problems, we are confident that we´ll soon be able to resolve them and announce our opening date to the public shortly.
If you’re looking for a bit of watersport fun during your holiday in Benalmadena, we’ve got you covered.

From Wednesday 29th April to Sunday 53rd May 2020, Fuengirola celebrates one of the most important events in its calendar: The “Feria Internacional de los Pueblos” (International People’s Fair). However, this year, due to the State of Alarm imposed by the outbreak of Covid-19, the town hall have been forced to move the festivities online for a virtual event.
This unique fair has grown to become a reference at local, regional and even international level. For 5 days, the Fuengirola fairground would be home to a fun and multicultural event for all the family. Unfortunately this year we’ll have to make the most of the situation and enjoy the event from the comfort of our homes through the special Facebook group which has been created and where we’ll be able to see images and videos as well as listen to music. The event will be promoted online using the hashtag #FIPFuengirolaEnCasa.
In previous editions, this same event managed to attract over 1 million visitors! This year we’ll have to see if we can top this figure through online participation! (more…)
Many of you will know that our original plan was to close the hotel from the 1st December 2020 to 7th January 2021 to carry out some refurbishment work in the reception area of the hotel.
Due to the unforeseen circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 virus, we’ve decided to postpone the planned work and keep the hotel open over the winter, including the all-important Christmas and New Year period.

Are you looking for recommendations of the best bars in Benalmadena?
Back in 2012, we asked our Facebook fans to name their favourite bars in Benalmádena and included their recommendations in this Blog post. It’s been 8 years now so we felt the post needed updating so we asked our Facebook fans the same question again… Below you’ll find their top recommendations as to the best places to enjoy their favourite drink!
We’ve prepared the list in order of most mentions; that doesn’t mean one is better than the other but does give you an idea of which are most popular amongst Sunset Beach Club guests 😉 We’ve also left some of the bars that were mentioned in 2012 but that didn’t get a mention this time as we are aware that they are also very popular. We hope you find the list useful!

Whenever I speak to guests who are thinking of travelling to Benalmadena (and to Sunset Beach Club, of course) one of the first questions I get asked is “What’s the weather like in Benalmadena?” It’s to be expected, after all, most visitors are coming to the Costa del Sol to enjoy the sun!
So, I thought I’d write a quick blog post about the weather in Benalmádena; average temperatures, what to expect at different times of the year, and how to keep up to date with local weather forecasts. (more…)
