sea to a dance beat
A night at the beach with Sophie Ellis-Bextor
An amazing evening at Alpemare with British disco-pop queen Sophie Ellis-Bextor, star of an unforgettable live performance by the sea. The incredible event, promoted by Wondermaker, attracted a thrilled audience to the elegant beach club owned by the Bocelli family, including a large group from the Russian-speaking community, who have been loving Versilia for their holidays throughout the year.

The captivating performer of "Murder on the Dancefloor" was the uncontested star of the night. Sophie Ellis-Bextor delivered a magnetic live show — blending nostalgia for the early 2000s with the special atmosphere that characterizes Wondermaker events, paired with a custom gourmet dining experience and seamless open-air service.
The afterparty continued with a high-octane DJ set by Nefertiti, rising star of the European club scene and resident of the legendary Baies Club in Courchevel.

And the summer isn't over yet. On August 9, Alpemare will once again open its doors for a landmark event: the debut of Live Urgant — a bold, genre-blending show by charismatic TV host Ivan Urgant. With the tagline "When TV got too flat, Ivan stepped out to meet you," the evening will feature special guests: the radiant Ekaterina Varnava, the irrepressibly witty Alexander Gudkov, and the high-voltage band Frukty.
