Playa del Salón will dress in white again on 14 August

Playa del Salón will once again be transformed on Friday, 14 August 2026, for a new edition of the Nerja White Party, one of the municipality’s most recognisable summer events.

Residents and visitors will gather by the sea for an evening of music, entertainment and celebration. As tradition dictates, attendees are encouraged to dress in white, creating the distinctive visual scene that gives the event its name and has become one of its defining features.

Three DJs will provide the soundtrack

Music will be provided by Manuel Moreno, Elías Moreno and Noex. The three DJs will play a selection of popular tracks designed to keep the energy high throughout the evening and turn the sands of Playa del Salón into an open-air dance floor.

The event combines music and entertainment in a particularly distinctive setting: a small urban beach surrounded by cliffs and located beside the Balcón de Europa, one of Nerja’s best-known landmarks. The beach sits below this famous viewpoint and can be reached on foot from the town centre.

One of Nerja’s most eagerly awaited summer nights

The White Party has become one of the highlights of Nerja’s summer calendar. Each edition attracts hundreds of people to a celebration open to both local residents and visitors spending their holidays in the town.

Nerja Town Council particularly emphasises the event’s family-friendly and safe atmosphere, designed as a meeting point where people can enjoy a summer evening beside the Mediterranean.

White will once again provide the central theme, bringing together the crowd’s outfits and creating a striking image against the backdrop of the sea.

The importance of the event within the municipality’s programme was reinforced in 2019, when it was declared an event of Special Local Tourism Interest due to its contribution to Nerja’s promotion and tourism image.

Playa del Salón provides the setting

The choice of Playa del Salón is one of the event’s main attractions. Located in the heart of the town beside the Balcón de Europa, it offers an intimate setting where the sea, cliffs and lights of Nerja all become part of the experience.

For a few hours, this area—normally associated with swimming and relaxation—will be transformed into the setting for a collective celebration.

Its proximity to the historic centre also allows the party to become part of Nerja’s lively summer atmosphere, which is particularly vibrant during August.

In recent years, the surrounding area has benefited from several municipal projects designed to improve pedestrian connections and integrate it more closely with nearby stretches of coastline. These include the coastal path linking Caletilla and El Salón beaches, which also provides a new viewpoint towards the Balcón de Europa.

Free admission until capacity is reached

Admission to the White Party will be free until capacity is reached. Nerja’s councillor for youth, Daniel Rivas, and councillor for beaches, María del Carmen López, have encouraged both local residents and visitors staying in the town to take part.

As the event takes place on a beach with limited capacity and pedestrian access, attendees are advised to arrive early and follow any organisational and safety instructions in place.

The White Party will once again bring together some of the most characteristic elements of summer on the eastern Costa del Sol: music, beach, warm nights outdoors and an atmosphere shared by residents and tourists.
