Starlite Occident Marbella 2025
THE BEST BOUTIQUE FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD
After fourteen editions, Starlite Occident has established itself as the longest-running boutique festival, featuring more than 60 days of concerts.
In the same space, music, culture and gastronomy converge, providing an exceptional event for those who long for close and intimate shows in an environment of incomparable beauty. Its programming includes options for all audiences, ages and musical tastes.
At Starlite Occident the sound is another level, being the only festival in Spain that uses the most advanced audio system in the world, the same one used at Sphere Immersive in Las Vegas. Each note is perceived with a clarity impossible to find at another festival. Here music is not only heard, it is felt.
The experience begins before the concert with its gastronomic offer in a summer terrace atmosphere, and continues after the show with shows and DJs where you can dance in an unparalleled environment. Starlite Occident offers the possibility of acquiring the complete experience by adding dinner to the concert in one of its five restaurants or a table in the Sessions area to enjoy the after parties.
In addition, the Starlite Gala takes place every year. Led by its hosts, Antonio Banderas and Sandra García-Sanjuán, it has become the charity event par excellence, rewarding the solidarity work of those who have made others' cause their own.
