Las Fiestas de l'Albir are celebrated in August every year, and this is the time when the town is fully packed with Madrileños and many other Spaniards. The festivals are marked with many music events and processions.
Most entertainment and activities take place in Eucalyptus Park. The area is always full to the brim and is closed to traffic. In especially erected tents, you will experience live DJ’s and organized events to ensure that everyone can participate in their favourite activities such as drinking beer, dancing, eating, socializing, and taking part in various sporting activities.
The schedule for the weekend is always tightly packed, as there are at least three consecutive nights of music with many DJ’s out in the Eucalyptus Park. Most often on Saturday mornings, there are classic cars and motorcycle drive-through shows. This way community members and visitors start the day in style.
One of the notable things of the summer fiestas is the fireworks display, which always takes place at the municipal car park.
The Fiestas del Jubileo del Santísimo Cristo - del Buen Acierto is a celebration that is carried out in early November each year. It is one of the main village fiestas and it is held in winter to celebrate the Santisimo Cristo del Buen Acierto.
This celebration takes place over more than a week and offers activities and celebrations in every shape and form; catholic services, holy processions, communal meals and entertainment in the vibrant streets of Albir.
You can't afford to miss these village fiestas, whether you are a practising Christian or not. These fiestas usually involve a two-day public holiday to give the villagers a chance to celebrate. The celebrations feature dames and queens dancing in traditional costumes.
There is also a flower festival, a paella contest, and a fancy dress party to spice up the entire event. It is also worth it to stay around to witness the Correfocs, which is a procession that involves scary costumes and fireworks.
In Albir, Año Nuevo is celebrated in style and involves family, friends, great warmth, excitement, enthusiasm, and joy.
For New Year, family members and loved ones share gifts to show that they care for each other and to wish each other good health and prosperity in life. Many locals stay home until midnight. When midnight comes, according to tradition, people eat 'doce uvas,' also known as twelve grapes. You are supposed to eat one after each stroke of the clock. You are supposed to swallow the whole grape before the clock strikes again, so you can eat the next grape. After the clock strikes twelve times, and the New Year has begun, you are supposed to have eaten or swallowed at least twelve grapes. This is supposed to bring good luck throughout the year.
Of course, if you are visiting and ready to ring in the New Year with a bang, you do not need to stay home until midnight! Many bars, restaurants and hotels offer exclusive New Year’s parties; do some research beforehand and buy your tickets in advance. Often grapes are including in any entree fees. People in Albir love to celebrate New Year’s Eve well!
Albir is an exciting Spanish town with plenty to do for everyone. Tourists flock here from all over Europe and beyond, for the beach, sunshine and friendly people. After dark, there’s a varied choice of bars, restaurants and nightclubs where you can enjoy great food, a few drinks and dance until the early hours. Outdoor terraces are lively and crowded every day of the week in summer, and the weekends are busy all year around.
Whatever you like to do, from Salsa dancing to disco raves, there is something for you in Albir. Of course, you prefer a quiet, late-night drink with friends; there are places to do that as well. For more options, Benidorm and Altea are just a 10-minute taxi ride away; the nightlife is even more bustling there. That’s the beauty of this part of the Costa Blanca – there is no shortage of places to have fun. We’ve created a list of the best places to go in Albir at night:
Pub Infinity is the place to go in Albir to meet up with people and party late into the night. Open from 10 pm until 4 am every evening, this pub is located in the centre of town, with other bars and restaurants nearby, in the surrounding streets. Pub Infinity has a modern interior with a neon bar, disco lights and wall mirrors. It is a smaller venue that has an intimate dance floor with all the lights and effects needed to create a fun atmosphere. Resident DJs play a range of the latest dance music every night of the week.
There are regular themed nights that include seasonal events such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas and Halloween. Crazy carnival nights are organised from time to time; these definitely add something special to the weekend. A sofa area provides a place to relax and chat, plus there are a few high tables with bar stools. A full range of international drinks are on offer at the bar – the prices are a little higher than local pubs, but they are in-line with other night clubs in town. Pub Infinity serves cocktails as well as draught and bottled beer.
Chaplin Palace Club is an adults-only men’s club in Albir. It is found beside the busy Avenida d’Europa on a discreet location away from the restaurants and bars in the centre of town. Inside this club, the colours red and black are used extensively to create a sensual and evocative vibe. The furnishings include a row of leather bar stools, leather sofas and small booths along a mirrored wall.
Purple neon bulbs light the bar area, and there is a wide range of spirits on offer here along with house wine and bottled beer. Perhaps the main feature of Chaplin Palace Club is the stage at one end. There’s a pole for the exotic dancers who entertain nightly. There are no set opening hours for this strip club, but it is usually open late at night and into the early hours of the morning.
The Church in Albir is an authentic Irish bar run by Irish owners who employ Irish staff whenever possible. The bar and restaurant open at midday and stay open until 2 am on weekdays and 4 am on Friday and Saturday. This is one of the best places in Albir for live music; bands, singers and musicians regularly perform in the weekends to an attentive audience. On Thursdays, there’s an open jam session where anyone who can play a musical instrument can join in. Three large TVs show most sports games live so you can watch your favourite team play while you enjoy a drink. There’s always something going on at The Church – it’s rarely dull and quiet.
Food is served up until 10 pm most nights. The menu includes excellent Irish dishes such as lamb stew and beef with Guinness pie. You can also order burgers and steak along with other meals. There’s usually a cheap ‘dish of the day’ that includes a drink if you’re looking for a bargain. You can also order light bites such as baguettes for lunch or as a snack. If you love a pint of the black stuff, Guinness is on draught here, but there is also a vast selection of international drinks.
Despite its main street location, the elegant terrace at La LiVi is quiet and peaceful thanks to the artistic screens shielding diners on all sides. There is plenty of space outside, and at night the terrace is beautifully lit with tiny white bulbs and uplights. Inside, the décor is trendy and fresh with lots of white furniture and natural wooden fixtures. La LiVi opens for breakfast at 9 am and stays open until 10 pm. Cocktails, beer and a great choice of wine and spirits are served in the evening, but it is hard to resist the food served here.
Everything is home-made, and there are both healthy options and fine cuisine on the menu. Popular seasonal dishes include creamy pasta, shrimp salad, pork with noodles and herb chicken. The chef takes inspiration from all over the globe. The ‘menu of the day’ is good value and includes 3 tasty courses. If you want to simply treat yourself to a dessert, they are happy to serve sweets such as tiramisu, pancakes or chocolate cake with a cup of coffee or tea. The service is excellent here, and it’s the ideal place to go for a special evening out.
ZIBÂ dance lounge has a great location along the seafront overlooking the water. It’s an impressive night club that’s been recently fitted to a high standard to attract customers who don’t mind spending money on a great night out. The ZIBÂ dance lounge decor features luxury fabrics, black and gold trimmings and a line of stunning chandeliers. ZIBÂ is the type of cool place you go to hang out, meet new people and have a good time late into the night. A DJ mixes current music creating an exciting soundtrack that gets people up and dancing into the early hours of the morning. In front of the DJ’s booth is an intimate dance floor that gets busy as the night goes on.
The bar is long with a lit-up section of drinks against the wall that displays every kind of spirit you can imagine. A team of expert mixologists makes cocktails, and there is a range of bottled beer to choose from too. Back from the bar, there are intimate tables with bar stools where small groups relax, drink and talk together. This is a popular drinks lounge, especially at the weekend, that attracts all ages and kinds of clientele.
Cuba Bar is lively, loud and lots of fun. From the bright neon sign outside to the fresh cocktails and the colourful décor inside, everything has a tropical feel about it here. The bar is located just a few streets back from the beach and not far from the centre of town. There is a large and informal terrace outside with lots of tables available. It’s cooler and quieter out on this deck and ideal for meeting friends and having a chat.
Sip delicious cold drinks out here late into the night, and order plates of tasty food too. The menu has a list of spicy or Cuban themed dishes on it, such as tacos, barbecued beef and sausage piled with onion and tomatoes. They have a few unique snacks here too, like potato chips dripping with melted cheese and sauce. Although there are great dishes on the menu, this place is more about dancing than eating. Whether a DJ or live musician plays the music, the Latino vibes get everyone’s toes tapping. Salsa tunes and samba music can be heard late into the night, and people are encouraged to dance. Couples join in to learn the dances or show off their moves; it’s all about having some fun.
This bar is set one street back from the sandy beach of Albir. Bar Beachlounge is located in a lively spot, near other bars and restaurants. It’s a well-run eatery popular with Belgian, Dutch and German visitors. Inside there’s a modern, rustic feel thanks to the bare brick walls and wooden tabletops. You’ll find a couple of tables outside that enjoy the deep shade provided by a large, old tree. The selection of tapas on the menu includes hot and cold dishes as well as a choice of delicious sandwiches. You can also get yummy cakes and desserts with your coffee if you fancy something sweet.
When it comes to drinks, there are a couple of international beers on draught as well as local bottled beer. Cocktails are a popular choice too, and the bar offers a broad range of gins. If you like a special coffee, you will enjoy the menu of alcoholic coffees such as those with Tia Maria, Cointreau and Whiskey. In the evening, tables fill up with people enjoying a drink or two and watching the TVs. The prices are a little higher than some of their competitors, but the great food and fantastic atmosphere at Bar Beachlounge are worth the little extra.
This modern beach bar has a vast, sweeping outdoor terrace that overlooks the promenade and sea in Albir. Shade is plentiful, thanks to a number of huge white umbrellas. You can sit here next to the palm trees and enjoy the view, no matter what the weather may be. There is indoor seating too; with air-conditioning, for when it gets too hot on the terrace. Coco Loco has a relaxed, informal atmosphere that is perfect if you’re in Albir on holiday. It’s all about taking things easy and enjoying your time by the beach.

The food is international and includes everything from hamburgers to fine cuisine. Mussels are a favourite dish at this bistro; they are served in a huge pot with a side of bread. It’s a popular place for families to stop as they have a kids’ menu and a selection of ice-creams. Sit outside all evening sipping on cocktails, sangria, house wine or an ice-cold beer. The bar has all kinds of spirits available as well, and the music provides the ideal night-time vibe.
Are you looking to explore in the surroundings of Albir? Of course there are many lovely beaches in the area, including the Playa de Raco, which has received special recognition from the European Union several times. But maybe you're looking for something other than the beach for a day? You and your family or friends can make a day of it, and visit one of the many attractions, zoos and parks.
Enjoy the mild year-round climate in a different setting; visit waterfalls and natural pools, or perhaps robotic Dinosaurs are more your thing? Within a short distance from Albir you can find theme parks and amusing attractions ranging from botanical gardens to exotic animal parks. The beautiful hilly surroundings of this town have ancient ruins, sea views, and a few waterparks that will give any visitor a unique experience.

This marvellous theme park gives its visitors a peek into the ancient Mediterranean, Greek, Egyptian, and Roman civilizations.
