Christmas & New Year at El Oceano

Spending Christmas at El Oceano means swapping a grey, damp December for mild winter sunshine on the Spanish coast, and booking your place couldn't be simpler. The hotel opens for the festive season on 23rd December and welcomes guests through to 3rd January, with Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day each bringing their own menu, entertainment and atmosphere.

Whether you're booking a full Christmas stay, a table for one of our Christmas Party nights earlier in December, or simply New Year's Eve itself, the advice is the same every year: book early. Christmas Day and New Year's Eve in particular sell out well in advance, and our most popular party nights aren't far behind. As always, booking directly through our website guarantees the best available rates, with no third-party fees, and means our team already has your details on hand for any special requests.

Whether you're planning a full week over the holidays, a shorter break around Christmas Day, or simply a memorable New Year's Eve dinner, reserving your place now, rather than waiting until December, is the surest way to spend the season with us.

For UK and Irish travellers, there's something genuinely special about spending Christmas somewhere the sun still shines. While home settles into short days and colder nights, the Costa del Sol in December remains mild and bright, and El Oceano's beachfront setting makes the season feel like something entirely its own: mornings on a sunny terrace, the Mediterranean shimmering just beyond the restaurant windows, and none of the grey skies that usually come with the British and Irish festive season.

Throughout December, the hotel builds towards Christmas with a full calendar of live entertainment and party nights, before the celebrations reach their peak with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and a New Year's Eve that has become something of a Costa del Sol institution. Guests can expect live music, festive menus, and the same warm, personal service El Oceano is known for throughout the year, all with a Spanish sun on your shoulders rather than a scarf around your neck.

It's this combination, proper Christmas spirit without the British and Irish winter, that keeps so many of our guests coming back year after year. Take a look at the full December calendar of events below to see exactly what's on, and start planning your escape to a Costa del Sol Christmas.
