Benidorm Holidays
Search great value holidays to Benidorm from leading tour operators.
Benidorm is one of Spain’s most popular holiday resorts, combining golden beaches, lively entertainment, family attractions and an enormous choice of hotels beneath the Costa Blanca sunshine.
Just a short flight from the UK, Benidorm works equally well for family holidays, couples’ escapes, adults-only breaks and lively trips with friends. And while its nightlife and distinctive skyline may be famous, there’s another side to the resort waiting to be discovered around the cobbled streets and tapas bars of the Old Town.
Why Choose a Holiday to Benidorm?
Few Mediterranean resorts offer quite as much variety as Benidorm.
Spend your days relaxing on the beach, tackle the slides at a water park, explore the Old Town or simply settle into a seafront café and watch the world go by. Come evening, you can choose between traditional Spanish restaurants, live entertainment, cocktail bars and some of the Costa Blanca’s liveliest nightlife.
There’s also an impressive choice of accommodation, from self-catering apartments and family-friendly hotels to all-inclusive resorts and adults-only properties.
Which Are the Best Beaches in Benidorm?
Benidorm’s two main beaches are Levante and Poniente, both offering long stretches of golden sand and Mediterranean waters.
Levante Beach is the livelier of the two, backed by a bustling promenade lined with restaurants, cafés and bars. It’s a great choice if you like being close to the action.
Poniente Beach has a more relaxed atmosphere and an attractive seafront promenade, making it particularly appealing to couples and families looking for somewhere a little quieter.
Benidorm Old Town or New Town?
Choosing the right area can make all the difference to your Benidorm holiday.
Benidorm Old Town sits between Levante and Poniente and offers a more traditional side to the resort. Wander its narrow streets and you'll discover whitewashed buildings, pavement cafés, boutiques and plenty of places to enjoy tapas and Spanish cuisine.
For nightlife and entertainment, head towards the livelier New Town and Levante areas. Here you'll find everything from sports bars and live singers to tribute acts, comedians and late-night clubs.
Is Benidorm Good for Families?
Yes. Benidorm is an excellent choice for family holidays, particularly if you want plenty to do away from the hotel.
As well as its beaches, the resort is within easy reach of popular attractions including Aqualandia water park, Mundomar animal park and Terra Mítica theme park. Opening dates and times vary seasonally, so check before travelling.
Add family-friendly hotels, pools, entertainment and an enormous choice of places to eat, and it's easy to understand why families return year after year.
What Is There to Do in Benidorm?
There is far more to Benidorm than sunbathing.
You can try water sport activities, take a boat trip, visit nearby theme and water parks, play golf or explore more of the Costa Blanca. Benidorm's long promenades are also perfect for an evening stroll.
For a change of pace, head into the Old Town for tapas before finding one of the resort's viewpoints and enjoying the Mediterranean scenery.
Where Is the Best Place to Stay in Benidorm?
The best area depends on the holiday you're looking for.
Levante and the New Town suit visitors who want nightlife and entertainment close by. The Old Town offers character, restaurants and easy access to both main beaches, while Poniente is an excellent option for a more relaxed stay.
Benidorm also offers accommodation for almost every budget, including self-catering, bed and breakfast, half-board and all-inclusive holidays, alongside both family and adults-only hotels.
How Long Is the Flight to Benidorm?
Most holidaymakers travelling from the UK fly into Alicante-Elche Airport, with direct flights typically taking around two and a half to three hours.
Flights operate from numerous UK airports, with routes varying by airline and season. The relatively short journey makes Benidorm a convenient choice for both a traditional week in the sun and shorter Spanish escapes.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Benidorm?
Summer is best for hot weather, busy beaches and a lively atmosphere, with July and August among the warmest and busiest months.
Spring and autumn are excellent alternatives if you prefer pleasant temperatures for exploring as well as spending time on the beach.
Benidorm is also a long-established winter-sun destination, making it a popular option for escaping the colder UK weather.
