May at El Oceano

Early Summer, Luxury Beach Holidays at El Oceano in Spain

“Very pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds make for a wonderful time on Mijas Costa!”

May is a great time to visit this area.  The Summer crowds have yet to arrive, making everywhere a little more civilised.  Visiting local ‘white towns’ and villages is much more pleasant, without the crowds.  If you want to escape the high season crowds, May is a great time to visit. The resorts are quieter, but the days are getting warmer and sunnier as summer approaches.

With comfortably cool nights and mild days with lots of beautiful sunshine, you’ll need to pack your summer wardrobe along with a few jumpers for the evenings.

May at El Oceano Hotel

The Summer starts early at El Oceano and by May, we are as busy as the crazy months of August and September.  It’s no wonder, as the weather is more than good enough to spend an afternoon around the pool and many of our regular guests have already confirmed their holidays and restaurant tables. Thursday the 7th of May sees the first Full Moon Gala Dinner of the year.  Always a spectacular evening, the Full Moon Gala Dinners are something of a legend, here on the Costa!  All Full Moon Gala Dinners feature fantastic dining entertainment, too, from the amazing Quike Navarro on electric violin!! Book your table before someone else does!!

Dining Entertainment in May

El Oceano has dining entertainment almost every night!  Johnny Baker, Janet Jaye on the 5th and the 19th, our new, ‘triple-tribute’ band, featuring The Bee Gees, The Beach Boys and The Jersey Boys, Nikki Rae’s fantastic ‘Someone Like Adele’ show on the 18th and the 25th, plus five Sunday Experiences throughout May and, of course, May’s Full Moon Gala Dinner on the Thursday the 7th.

Sundays in May

There are five Sunday Experiences throughout May, the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st .  All Sundays are, at least, half-full and 31st is almost fully booked.  Book your Sunday Experience before someone else does!

By May, we’re almost in our ‘high season’ and bookings can become a little more difficult, as many regular guests are thinking ahead.  Sundays, particularly, will most likely be full.  As I write this post, I can see one of the five Sundays in May is now almost full, the other three around half full.  Sunday Lunch at El Oceano (of the ‘Sunday Experience’, as we call it!) has become a much sought-after event.  It is honestly recommended you book early. May is also a popular month for weddings, although if you aren’t already confirm, you may have missed this year as we are now taking wedding enquiries for 2020!

May Mijas Costa Weather

What’s the weather like on the Costa del Sol in May? May represents the end of Spring and the very beginning of Summer, here on the Costa del Sol.  Temperatures become more stable and generally warmer and more reliably sunny.  Expect temperatures around the mid 20s Celsius, that’s the mid 70s in Fahrenheit.  By May, the Costa del Sol, very much, lives up to its name as the “Sunshine Coast”, as our Mediterranean climate begins to burt in to life! There may be a little rain, but mostly overnight.  It’s warm enough to sunbathe and beaches are more quiet.  It’s warm enough for a dip in the swimming pool, too!
