Your guide to Benidorm holidays

Beaches

Beaches in Benidorm

Benidorm’s soft sand, crystal clear waters and lively facilities will keep you smiling all holiday long.

Head to the heart of the action at Levante beach. Backed by a busy beach boulevard, this two kilometre sweep of sand is perfect for anyone who loves their beach with a bit of a buzz.
Poniente beach is quieter than Levante but boasts the same excellent facilities. Both are Blue Flag beaches, so you can be sure the welcoming waters are of the highest quality.
It’s easy to walk straight past little Mal Pas beach, but this hidden oasis is worth seeking out. Nestled between the two big beaches and below a cliff face, it’s a total sun trap.
La Almadrava Cove’s rocky seabed is a haven for marine life. At just 100 metres long and off the main tourist path, it’s a prime spot to don your snorkel and leave land behind.
Cala Finestrat is perfect for paddlers. The sheltered location makes it especially popular with families, but you’ll find all ages dipping their toes in the clean, shallow waters.

Best beaches close to Benidorm

Benidorm is a magnet for sun-seekers, but you can sink your toes into all kinds of beaches if you roam a little further afield.

A few minutes north, Tio Ximo cove is a world away from busy Benidorm town. Surrounded by cliffs and strewn with rocks, the waters of this tiny beach are the clearest around.
Continue up the coast to lay your towel on Playa del Albir. Attached to the resort town, it’s the peaceful, pebbled cousin of Benidorm with great cafes and sun loungers aplenty.
The main beach at Villajoyosa is pretty as a picture. White sands, swaying palm trees and a colourful boulevard backdrop combine for a dose of tropical perfection.
Altea’s pebbled beach remains relatively quiet even in the summer months. There’s plenty of restaurants and exceptional views of the coast in both directions.
If it’s spectacular scenery you’re after, Playa de la Fossa brings the drama. This picturesque beach stretches out under the mighty Calpe Rock. Climb to the top if you’re feeling brave!

Top 5 things to do in Benidorm

Step back from Benidorm’s beaches to discover a Spanish resort where entertainment and charm lie around every corner.

Soak up Spanish glamour in Benidorm’s beautiful Old Town. These quaint cobbled streets are ideal for a wander, filled with boutiques, traditional bars and panoramic views across the bay.
Take a boat out to explore the rocky hideaway of Benidorm Island, just visible from the beaches. Pick a glass bottom boat tour for a glimpse into Benidorm’s underwater world.
For one on the best view points in all of Benidorm, put Balcón del Mediterráneo on your list. A remarkable little piazza stretching out into the ocean, it’s pure holiday photo perfection.
Wild beauty awaits in Sierra Helada Natural Park. Dotted with cliffs, coves and walking trails, the short hike up to La Cruz de Benidorm is especially breathtaking. Don’t forget your camera!
Dating back to the 18th century, Iglesia de San Jaime y Santa Ana church sits right on the water’s edge. Peek inside and find a moment of peace among the intricate interiors.

Adventure in Benidorm

For all its lazy seaside charm, there’s an action-packed world waiting to be explored on holiday in Benidorm.

If you love to be out on the water, nothing beats a Benidorm boat trip. From island escapes to diving excursions, your sea legs will be in their element.
Fancy a real adrenaline rush? Strap in for a parasailing adventure, zoom off on a jet ski or see how long you can cling on to a topsy turvy banana boat ride.
For a slightly drier day out, leave your friends in the dust at Go Karting Finestrat. Their speed karts reach up to a whopping 120kph and they’ll even pick you up from town.
Get up close to Benidorm’s glittering ocean on a kayak trip. Enjoy unrivalled views of the coastline, stop off at the best snorkelling spots and discover hidden sea caves teeming with fish.
Buckle up for a 4x4 keep safari of Benidorm’s magnificent countryside, from deep canyons and wild mountains to historic towns and mesmerising waterfalls.

Food & Drink

Food and drink in Benidorm

Hungry holidaymakers can fill their boots on a Benidorm break, from gourmet restaurants to budget-friendly cafes.

Follow your nose to Tapas Alley in the Old Town and gorge on popular tapas dishes like patatas bravas, fried calamari and melt-in-the-mouth jamón. Oh and lashings of wine, of course!
While it’s not unusual to find a Full English breakfast on menus, Benidorm is full of international flavour with the likes of Indian curry houses, Italian dessert bars and Argentinian steakhouses.
Feast on the freshest catches of fish in excellent seafood restaurants. From cheap lunches to luxury dinners, it’s a far cry from those frozen fish fingers at home.
Levante beach boulevard is the easiest spot in town to find a bite to eat. With countless restaurants to suit all appetites, it’ll cure your rumbling tummy in a flash.
Many package holidays to Benidorm include some, if not all, of your meals. Everything from your breakfast buffet to your evening meal is taken care of, so you can concentrate on sunbathing instead.

Traditional dishes to try in Benidorm

Despite Benidorm’s vastly international appeal, a traditional taste of Spain is never too far away.

Nothing hits the Spanish spot quite like paella. Originally from the Costa Blanca region, this popular rice dish is fragrant, filling and adorned with your choice of meat, fish or vegetables.
You may become a tapas convert on holiday in Benidorm. With so many dishes it’s hard to go wrong, but crispy cheese croquetas, spiced meatball stews and tender garlic prawns always hit the spot.
Galicia may be in northern Spain but its famous steaks have made their way south to Benidorm. These juicy cuts are thought to be some of the best steaks in all the world.
If you can only try one seafood dish on your Benidorm break, make it sea bass. A local speciality, the Spaniards simply bake this beauty with a smattering of herbs until it melts in the mouth.
Jugs of sweet sangria flow freely from most bars, but this fruity wine is best enjoyed overlooking the ocean as the sun dips below the horizon.

Out & About

Benidorm family holidays

As if the beautiful beaches aren’t enough, holidays in Benidorm fill your family wish list quicker than you can say “ice cream”!

A riot of record-breaking slides, lazy rivers and whooshing wave pools, Aqualandia is one of Spain’s favourite water parks. A rip-roaring family day out.
Mundomar marine park is a must for animal lovers. Swim with sea lions, get splashed by dolphins and get up close to all sorts of colourful birds, mammals and reptiles.
Aqua Natura water park is smaller and quieter than Aqualandia, making it ideal for younger children. Buy a joint ticket then meet the wild creatures at Terra Natura wildlife park next door.
If your little ones have a need for speed, strap in for a fun day out at Terra Mítica theme park. From labyrinthine laser quests to plunging log flumes, there are rides to suit all ages.
So many of Benidorm’s popular hotels cater brilliantly for families. With kids clubs, water slides, fun-filled shows and unlimited ice cream, the hard part is getting them to leave!

Nightlife in Benidorm

No two nights are the same on holiday in Benidorm, thanks to over 800 bars and fiestas lasting until the early hours.

Levante beach boulevard is a bar-hopping hotspot, strewn with more drinking dens than you can shake a shot at. Pumping music and neon lights entice you in, the cheap drink deals tempt you to stay.
Another lively social scene awaits in the Old Town. Characterful cafes spill out onto the streets, perfect for people watching with a colourful cocktail or sangria in hand.
The famous Benidorm Palace is cheesy and charming in all the right ways. Pair your cabaret show with a three-course meal, bottle of bubbly and endless laughs.
Show bars are a popular pastime in Benidorm and can range from celebrity impersonations to circus acts. Grab a table, get stuck into drinks specials and prepare to be entertained.
