The Sunday Experience at El Oceano Restaurant – The Best Sunday on the Coast

Sundays at El Oceano have become something of a legend, here on the Costa del Sol, in recent years!  Increasing numbers of guests are booking week – often months – in advance and, while we have rearranged our Sundays to accommodate more guests, most are fully booked, well in advance!

Sunday Lunch vs Sunday Experience

Finding a ‘normal’ Sunday Lunch on the Costa de Sol isn’t difficult, but the traditional and contemporary Sunday Lunch at El Oceano is, frankly, a significant cut above the rest!  And it’s not just the Sunday Lunch either!  The Sunday Experience at El Oceano starts with aperitifs in the Cocktail Lounge, an utterly exquisite Lunch, with live entertainment all day, followed by poolside drinks!

Sunday on the Costa del Sol just isn’t Sunday without El Oceano!!

The Polynesian Pool

Restaurant guests, please note… use of the pool is reserved for hotel residents & VIP Sunbed reservations only.  Restaurant diners do not have automatic access to the Polynesian Pool facilities however, subject to availability & charge, we may be able to offer pool use on occasions!  To avoid any disappointment, please confirm availability before your visit.

The Ocean Room

Panoramic sea views accompany an exquisite menu.  The perfect beachfront restaurant.

The Ocean Room is the main part of the restaurant, the part you will see as you walk in to the hotel.  Large glass walls look right on to the beach and the Mediterranean sea offering almost panoramic views, which (on appropriate weather days) are fully opened giving an impression of being right on the sea!  A bright and spacious room, the Oceano Room Restaurant is open every day for lunch and dinner.

The Ocean Room is where most dining entertainment takes place, with small stage and dancing area. If you’re joining us for an entertainment evening, this is probably where you’ll be.  Almost every evening is accompanied by one of our fantastic regular entertainers and occasionally, special guests from all over Europe.

You’ll be impressed by our restaurant.  We’re sure of that.  A truly stunning restaurant, an impeccable menu, a fantastic dining entertainment lineup.  Right by the ocean, close to perfection.

The Veranda

An elegant dining room with views of the mountains of North Africa.  The Veranda is a little apart from The Ocean Room, with glass walls giving the impression of hanging over the overlooking the sea. It’s a great place for breakfast!  Right next to the beach, dinner is served each evening in the Veranda Restaurant, a glass enclosed dining room seemingly suspended over the ocean.  The views will take your breath away!

The Waterfront Terrace

Right on the water, the terrace restaurant is a beautiful place to eat al-fresco.

The Terrace is outside and hosts entertainment during the summer months. But on The Terrace, it’s about the open sea. The Terrace is right on the beach, with private pool, pool bar and most importantly, the beautiful sunny Spanish sky. Perfect.

Where the views will take your breath away, and where lunch by the sea can last forever! Live music is provided every evening at El Oceano, in the Oceano Room and during the summer months on the Water Front Terrace. The hotel’s bar and lounge areas are absolutely sumptuous, where an impressive choice of cocktails, liquors and wines are served by El Oceano’s expert friendly staff.
