Flamingo Beach Party
- Friday – FLAMINGO XXX Beach Party at Playa Aruba from 5 pm to 11.30 pm.
- A spacious Playamar beach club with a broad seafront terrace and open-air party area. Matrix uses it for the larger Flamingo XXL session, running from late afternoon into the night.
- On Paseo Marítimo de Playamar, toward the quieter eastern end of Torremolinos, close to Hotel Puente Real. It feels removed from the compact gay centre, making it a destination venue rather than a casual bar stop.
- Roughly 3 km from La Nogalera – 35 to 40 minutes on foot along the promenade or around 8 minutes by taxi. Walking back after the party is flat once you reach the seafront.
Sunset Beach Party
- Sunday – SUNSET Beach Party at Eden Beach forom 5.30 pm to 10 pm
- Torremolinos’ established adults-only LGBTQ+ beach club, mixing restaurant terraces, loungers and Balinese beds with a compact open-air party space. Matrix hosts its Foam and closing Sunset sessions here.
- At Roca Chica on El Bajondillo Beach, directly below the western side of the town centre. The venue is closely connected to the everyday gay beach scene, so Matrix feels like an amplified version of Eden rather than a temporary takeover.
- Around 800 metres from La Nogalera – 10 to 15 minutes downhill via Calle San Miguel and the Bajondillo steps or lift. The return is steep, so the public lift or a short taxi ride is the easier choice after the party
The Venues
- Centuryon – Located on C/Casablanca, 15. Centuryon is one of the biggest clubs on the Torremolinos gay scene offering state of the art lights and sound with two large bars and dance floor.
- Playa Eden – Enjoy Mediterranean fare & cocktails at this trendy seaside terrace bar with DJ events & sun lounger rentals. Now with jacuzzi, outdoor pool and beach circuit parties.
- Studio Club – Formerly Palladium, the venue has been completely reformed with stunning light and sound and space for 1000+ party lovers. Divided in two opposite concept rooms. The main room with an industry style and powerful L’acoustics sound system offers quality electronic music and international dj’s during day and night sessions. The colorful Gallery Room is an open space to artists and expositions, where music finds its way too offering a complete sensory experience
Hotel Ritual
- Hotel Ritual – Gay hotel that put Torremolinos back on the international gay map. Host to some of the official pool parties for infinity. Large rooms close to the gay bars and clubs. Book well in advance if you want to stay in this hotel.
- The Ritual sells out fast – Try the Sol Torremolinos Don Marco – A Melia hotel with spacious rooms and superb amenities and just 10 minutes walk from the party.
