Alicante: Sunset House & AfroHouse Party by the Sea – A Detailed Review
Imagine dancing beneath a golden sunset on an open-air seafront dance floor, with the Mediterranean stretching out behind you. That’s exactly what you get with the Sunset House & AfroHouse Party in Alicante, an evening of music, sea breezes, and good vibes, offered at a modest $29 per person. This experience is hosted by Sunetourism and takes place at Alicante’s Pier 5, blending a lively music scene with the natural beauty of Spain’s Valencian coast.
What we love most about this experience are the stellar live DJ performances, especially the headline guest DJ Sergio Martínez, who takes the decks alongside resident DJs Karl and Chokry. The second highlight is the flexibility of VIP options, from reserved seats with bottle service to the exclusive cabanas with private pools and champagne—definitely a step up if you’re celebrating something special or just want a little more privacy.
A small consideration is that this event is strictly outdoor with some covered areas, so if you’re expecting a fully enclosed club, this open-air setup requires you to be comfortable with sea breezes and possibly cooler temperatures as night falls. Also, since it’s a standing dance event, those who prefer seated venues might find the experience more energetic than relaxing, though VIP zones do offer limited seating.
This tour is perfect for music lovers wanting a lively sunset party with a scenic backdrop, night owls eager to dance into the early hours, or travelers looking for a unique way to enjoy Alicante’s coastal charm with an authentic local twist.

The Full Experience: A Deep Dive
Setting the Scene at Alicante’s Pier 5
From the moment we stepped into the openair venue, we felt that buzzing anticipation typical of seaside parties. The seafront location isn’t just a scenic backdrop; it’s an integral part of the vibe. The Mediterranean breeze mingling with bass-heavy beats creates a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The gates open at 6 PM, and with our mobile tickets in hand, we breezed past the queue, a real time-saver after a day of sightseeing.
The design of the venue maximizes outdoor enjoyment, with a large open dance floor directly facing the sea, and some covered areas to shield you from the breeze or unexpected weather. The spectacular sunset is a highlight; as the sky bursts into shades of gold and purple, the music seems to become even more vivid and immersive.
Music and DJs: The Heartbeat of the Night
The music is what this event lives for. DJ Sergio Martínez’s appearance is a real coup—his reputation as a headline guest signals a top-tier experience. He joins resident DJs Karl and Chokry, whose seamless mixing creates a flowing set of house, electronic, and Afrohouse tunes. According to reviews, the DJ lineup “crafts a seamless blend” that keeps everyone dancing, with laser beams rippling across the sea and the sky turning darker.
The music’s volume and quality are professional-grade, with clear sound and well-timed light effects, including strobe lighting and haze, which add to the party atmosphere. For guests with photosensitivity, it’s worth noting that the lighting can be intense, so caution is advised if you’re sensitive to flashing lights.

For those wanting a more exclusive experience, the VIP Zones are a smart choice. The standard VIP lounge offers a reserved table near the DJ booth, making it easier to see the action and sip your chosen bottle of premium spirits. The artisanal shisha tableside is a nice touch, perfect for relaxing between dance sets.
The VIP Premium Cabana is particularly tempting if you’re after a private retreat—complete with its own plunge pool, a bottle of Moët & Chandon, and extra premium spirits. It’s a bit of a splurge at the higher end of the price bracket, but you’re paying for privacy and a truly luxurious experience. Plus, the roundtrip chauffeured transfer within 5 km ensures you arrive and depart in comfort, which is a bonus since parking can be tricky in busy seaside areas.
Practical Details & Considerations
The event wraps up at 3 AM, giving ample time for dancing and socializing. The wristband system allows reentry, so you can step out for a quick break or grab a late-night snack without worrying about losing access.
Security and safety are taken seriously, with trained staff and security personnel on site. Restrooms are available, and the covered areas provide some respite from the elements. The venue is partially covered but remains predominantly outdoors, so pack a light jacket if you tend to get chilly or bring a hat to shield from the sea breezes.
Pricing & Value
At $29, the basic ticket offers excellent value—entry, a welcome drink, and a full night of dancing until 3 AM. Upgrading to VIP or VIP Premium adds more comfort, privacy, and luxury, ideal for special occasions or those wanting a more premium experience. When comparing the price to the scope of entertainment, the stunning setting, and the quality of DJs, it’s a pretty attractive offer.
Authenticity & Audience
Based on reviews, guests appreciate the authentic local music scene and the relaxed but lively atmosphere. The event is open to adults 18 and over, and the standing nature of the event means it’s best suited for those comfortable with lively, energetic crowds. If you prefer a quieter, seated experience, this might not be your ideal night out.
Who Should Consider This Experience?
This event is perfect for music enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy house, electronic, and Afrohouse beats. It suits travelers looking for an authentic seaside party with a scenic backdrop—ideal for friends, couples, or solo travelers eager to mingle. It’s also a good choice if you want to experience Alicante’s lively nightlife in a relaxed outdoor setting. However, if you prefer a more subdued, seated environment or are traveling with very young children, this might not be the best fit.
