Why go?
A tourist mecca perfectly placed on Spain's Costa Blanca, holidays in Benidorm are all about fun in the sun. This ever-popular resort is a home away from home, with countless British bars, pubs and places to eat, but you won't find beaches like this at home. Full of people enjoying themselves, Benidorm's holiday atmosphere is contagious, from its golden sands to its pulsating nightlife. Spend sunny days on Benidorm's 2 beaches, Playa Levante (Sunrise Beach) and Playa de Poniente (Sunset Beach). Head to Playa Levante for its lively promenade, brimming with cafes, bars and shops, or opt for the more chilled Playa de Poniente, perfect for working on your tan before a big night out or enjoying one of its famous sunsets.
Things to do
Holidays in Benidorm have so much to do. When you're not building sandcastles on the beach, why not jump on a jet ski and try out the thrilling water sports, speed down the slides at a local water park, nip across to Peacock Island for excellent views of Benidorm's coast and skyline or wander round the narrow streets of the Old Town and visit the castle. The Benidorm nightlife is legendary. Pick and choose from rock and pop, live music, karaoke and cabaret in the endless bars, before heading for one of Benidorm's many clubs, with foam parties and big-name DJs aplenty. Try the show-stopping Benidorm Palace for live entertainment, from flamenco dancing to magicians, or try your luck at the Costa Blanca Casino – one of the largest in Spain.
