Down Town Benalmadena
24 hour square on the coast road (leading
down to the port) is THE place for discos in town. Too many here
to list but Kiu is the largest and most popular with ladies night
on Thursdays. It has three dance floors: Sala Latino, Hard-core
Dance and Chart music. Smart entrance adorned with weird, bubbly
décor leads to what appears to be a run-of-the-mill disco
bar, but a door situated at the far end leads into the Atlantis
room, a huge banging club with great lighting, metal décor
and balconies.
Mango is also a good atmosphere with a young
crowd, plus, most of the bars have a small dance floor and throbbing
music.
Benalmadena Marina
For a more sophisticated dance scene head down to
the port where several of the bars on the front have dance floors
and/or live music at weekends. Main discos here are Oh Marina and
Maná where you can expect to pay three times the normal price
for drinks, especially during the summer months.
La Cubana
Large outside terrace and bar as well as bar inside. This is
a favourite place for dancing salsa to the all night music. A real
hot, Caribbean experience.
Banana Café
This is a place for the young to dance the night away to all
types of music. There is a big dance floor and the cocktail list
is as long as the night.
Boals Ice Bar (opening around May 2007)
First Ice bar on the Costa del Sol, where everything is made of ice (seats, sculptures, walls, ...).
Providing coats, gloves and socks at entrance. Great place, not to be missed.

This club is a coffee meeting place in the afternoon and becomes
one of the hot spots of the port by night. Mainly frequented by
foreigners, but also draws in many of the local and Malaga city
young people, because of the great music and atmosphere.
Disco-café Kaleido
This club has three different sections, each with its own different
atmosphere. There is an outside terrace another one inside and a
large inside dance area where there is a huge fish tank with tropical
fish in it, giving the place a really exotic atmosphere.
