The best beach clubs in Torremolinos — sunbeds, pools, DJs, cocktails and long lunches by the sea. Compare the spots and plan the perfect beach day.
The beach clubs of Torremolinos cluster at Los Álamos, the long eastern beach towards Málaga. Playa Santa is the liveliest — sunbeds by day, DJs and a big crowd on summer nights — while La Palapa goes for palm thatch, Balinese beds and a slower tropical mood, and Horno Beach Club is the stylish, photogenic one.
Further west the mood changes completely: Bajondillo and La Carihuela are chiringuito territory, where the day is built around a plate of fried fish rather than a DJ.
