Hoyo 19 Beach Club sits on Playa de Poniente in Motril, on Granada's tropical coast. The name is a nod to golf's 19th hole, and the spirit matches: it's built for lingering, with hammocks on the sand, premium sunbeds, and a full kitchen running alongside the bar.

The crowd is mostly locals and families. It's not a party venue. People come to spend a slow afternoon here, eating tapas and drinking well, with sea views that reviewers mention consistently.
It's open every day from 8am, which makes it a good shout for breakfast or a long lunch. Hours run until 11pm Monday to Friday, and 11:30pm on weekends. Free parking is available on-site and on the street. The venue has full wheelchair accessibility across the entrance, seating, restrooms, and parking.
Prices sit in the mid-range for the coast ($$). One reviewer flagged that the pricing felt high relative to the service they received, so manage expectations on busier days.

Food & Drinks at Hoyo 19 Beach Club
Tapas are the main reason people eat here. The kitchen runs a proper restaurant menu alongside the chiringuito setup, so you can graze on small plates at the bar or settle in for a full sit-down meal.
Cocktails are the strongest part of the drinks list. Mojitos get called out specifically in reviews and the bar stays busy all day. It's a full cocktail list, not just a handful of basics.
The setup works for both a quick drink and a long, relaxed lunch. Given the fine dining listing, expect the food to lean a bit more considered than a typical beach bar.
