id=\"Best_Time_to_Visit_Benidorm_Spain\"><\/span>Best Time to Visit Benidorm Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire Costa Blanca coastline boasts <strong>the mildest climate in all of Spain<\/strong>, making it an absolutely ideal year-round destination. The city is sheltered by a wall of mountains that blocks cold inland winds and maintains a pleasant microclimate bubble. If you want to enjoy swimming in the sea, the <strong>best time to visit<\/strong> is from June to the end of September. Just be prepared for July and August, when beaches are packed to the brim and temperatures regularly soar well above 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an active holiday full of excursions, I&#8217;d recommend visiting <strong>during the spring or autumn months<\/strong>, when the weather is much more comfortable for hiking and exploring the surroundings. Winters here are incredibly sunny and warm, which is why so many Brits and Northern Europeans flock here to escape the cold. A spring visit can also be combined with a trip to nearby Valencia, where the <strong>spectacular Las Fallas festival<\/strong> takes place in March. The city transforms into a non-stop celebration full of gunpowder and giant sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many days do you need? For the resort itself and its immediate surroundings, <strong>three to four days should be enough<\/strong>, especially if you want to fit in a visit to the theme parks. However, if you&#8217;re planning to explore the wider Costa Blanca area and take day trips to surrounding historic towns, set aside a full week. That way, you&#8217;ll have plenty of time to <strong>soak up the laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere<\/strong> without having to rush from place to place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Benidorm\" class=\"wp-image-183442\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu-700x303.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu-768x333.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu-1536x666.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu-696x302.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-kde-se-ubytovat-v-benidormu-1392x603.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Diego Delso \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Benidorm\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Benidorm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We love searching for accommodation on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Benidorm&#038;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Booking.com<\/a>, which tends to have the best cancellation policies.

If you&#8217;re after entertainment and don&#8217;t mind the noise, look for accommodation near Levante Beach and the so-called British zone. Conversely, for families with children and travellers seeking peace and quiet, the <strong>area around Poniente Beach is the obvious choice<\/strong> \u2014 it retains a much more local and relaxed feel. The old town offers a happy medium, putting you within easy reach of both historic sights and excellent tapas bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When browsing on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/booking-com-2\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, you&#8217;ll inevitably come across the <strong>iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Hotel%20Don%20Pancho%20Benidorm&#038;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Hotel Don Pancho<\/a><\/strong>, widely regarded as one of the best addresses in town. This adults-only hotel features a gorgeous heated pool and sits just a stone&#8217;s throw from Levante Beach. If you want to treat yourself to real luxury and breathtaking views, book a room at the <strong>five-star Villa Venecia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Hotel%20Boutique%20Benidorm&#038;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Hotel Boutique<\/a><\/strong>. Perched right on the cliff in the old town, its panoramic views of the Mediterranean are simply unrivalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For families and those looking for a quieter base, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Hotel%20RH%20Corona%20Benidorm&#038;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Hotel RH Corona<\/a> del Mar<\/strong> near Poniente Beach is a brilliant choice. It has excellent facilities including pools with water slides and is within walking distance of the historic centre. Prices vary hugely depending on the season \u2014 in summer, expect a <strong>quality double room<\/strong> to cost around \u20ac140 to \u20ac200 per night. During winter and spring, however, prices often drop by half, so you can find lovely accommodation without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu.jpg\" alt=\"15 best things to see and do in Benidorm\" class=\"wp-image-183446\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-15-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-benidormu-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Francesc Fort \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Best_Things_to_See_and_Do_in_Benidorm_Spain\"><\/span>15 Best Things to See and Do in Benidorm Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve put together a list of the very best places and activities that you shouldn&#8217;t miss.

A defensive fortress once stood on this strategic point, protecting the inhabitants from Berber pirate raids. Today, you&#8217;ll find the <strong>stunning Plaza del Castell<\/strong>, boasting gleaming white balustrades and paving laid out in elegant geometric patterns. There&#8217;s a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere here that stands in sharp contrast to the bustling promenades below the cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk down the white steps and you&#8217;ll reach the Balc\u00f3n del Mediterr\u00e1neo itself. This <strong>viewing terrace with blue tiles<\/strong> arranged in the shape of a five-pointed star feels as though it&#8217;s hovering right above the waves. It&#8217;s undoubtedly the most photographed spot for miles around, and the views out to the blue horizon are absolutely breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: <strong>Head here early in the morning for sunrise<\/strong>, when the city is just waking up and you won&#8217;t have to fight for space with crowds of selfie-taking tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1638\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante.jpg\" alt=\"Vibrant Levante Beach\" class=\"wp-image-183451\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante-700x875.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante-696x870.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-pulzujici-plaz-levante-1392x1740.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Fernando \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Vibrant_Levante_Beach\"><\/span>2. Vibrant Levante Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This two-kilometre sandy strip is exactly what most people picture when they hear the name Benidorm. Levante Beach is a <strong>symbol of non-stop entertainment<\/strong> and buzzing resort life. You&#8217;ll find thousands of sun loungers, endless rows of parasols, and a promenade lined with dozens of bars, caf\u00e9s, and restaurants. The sand is incredibly fine and, thanks to meticulous daily maintenance, the beach proudly flies the prestigious Blue Flag for cleanliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seabed slopes very gently into the water, making swimming safe \u2014 though during peak season, it can get incredibly packed. You can try your hand at <strong>all sorts of water sports<\/strong> here, from jet skiing and parasailing to banana boat rides. Expect to pay around \u20ac15 to \u20ac20 per day for hiring two sun loungers with a parasol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: If you want to bag a good spot close to the water, <strong>you&#8217;ll need to get to the beach by around 8am<\/strong> \u2014 any later and the prime spots are long gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1164\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente.jpg\" alt=\"Quieter Poniente Beach\" class=\"wp-image-183454\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente-700x424.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente-1536x931.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente-696x422.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-klidnejsi-plaz-poniente-1392x844.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Diego Delso \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Quieter_Poniente_Beach\"><\/span>3. Quieter Poniente Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Levante never sleeps, the western Poniente Beach offers a much more relaxed and local atmosphere. Stretching over three kilometres, it&#8217;s the <strong>longest beach in the city<\/strong> and attracts mainly Spanish families and tourists seeking a bit of peace. Even during the busiest summer months, you&#8217;ll always find enough room to spread out your towel without being crammed in next to your neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beach is flanked by a truly unique promenade designed by award-winning architects. Its <strong>colourful design mimics ocean waves<\/strong>, alternating between shades of yellow, green, and blue. It&#8217;s brilliant for cycling or rollerblading, and you&#8217;ll find plenty of palm-shaded benches along the way. Unlike its neighbouring beach, you won&#8217;t find thumping nightclubs here \u2014 just pleasant caf\u00e9s and traditional Spanish restaurants instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: Stay until early evening, because <strong>Poniente offers the most stunning sunsets<\/strong>, when the entire sky is painted in dramatic shades of orange and purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring Benidorm Old Town (El Casco Antiguo)\" class=\"wp-image-183456\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-scaled.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-toulky-historickym-centrem-el-casco-a-1392x2088.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Diego Delso \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Exploring_Benidorm_Old_Town_El_Casco_Antiguo\"><\/span>4. Exploring Benidorm Old Town (El Casco Antiguo)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to forget that the original historic heart of the city has survived amid hundreds of modern tower blocks. The old town, or El Casco Antiguo, is a maze of narrow, often steep lanes that have <strong>retained the charm of the original fishing village<\/strong>. Houses are whitewashed, windows are framed by wrought-iron balconies draped with geraniums, and traditional caf\u00e9s huddle on tiny squares. The standout landmark of this quarter is the Church of San Jaime y Santa Ana with its distinctive blue dome \u2014 well worth popping inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest draw of the old town, though, is the famous Calle Santo Domingo, universally known as <strong>Tapas Alley<\/strong>. This narrow street is positively brimming with tiny bars, from which waft the aromas of olive oil and garlic. It absolutely buzzes in the evening, when locals head out for the traditional &#8220;tapeo&#8221; \u2014 hopping from bar to bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: Order a beer or glass of wine along with some <strong>brilliant vegetarian tapas<\/strong> like patatas bravas (roasted potatoes with spicy sauce) or pimientos de Padr\u00f3n (blistered green peppers with coarse sea salt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1408\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo.jpg\" alt=\"Skyscraper architecture and Intempo tower\" class=\"wp-image-183460\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-700x513.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-1536x1126.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-696x510.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-architektura-mrakodrapu-a-intempo-1392x1021.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Rik Schuiling \/ TropCrop-TCS \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Skyscraper_Architecture_and_Intempo\"><\/span>5. Skyscraper Architecture and Intempo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s fascinating skyline \u2014 rightfully nicknamed the Manhattan of Spain \u2014 didn&#8217;t happen by accident. Back in the 1950s, the then-mayor realised that <strong>building upwards was more sustainable<\/strong>, as it saved ground space and gave more people a sea view. Thanks to this pioneering urban plan, the city now boasts the highest concentration of skyscrapers per capita in the world. These vertical streets create an utterly unique visual spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous building is undoubtedly the <strong>golden Intempo skyscraper<\/strong>, soaring to a height of nearly 200 metres. You&#8217;ll recognise it instantly by its giant M-shape (or two connected towers), topped with an unmissable golden cone. Another icon is the Gran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Hotel%20Bali%20Benidorm&#038;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Hotel Bali<\/a>, which was for a long time the tallest hotel in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: Take the glass lift up to the <strong>Gran Hotel Bali&#8217;s observation deck<\/strong> (tickets cost around \u20ac6) and enjoy a bird&#8217;s-eye view of the city sprawling out towards the surrounding hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Boat_Trip_to_Isla_de_Benidorm\"><\/span>6. Boat Trip to Isla de Benidorm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This small uninhabited island, rising from the waves roughly three kilometres offshore, is steeped in an intriguing legend. It&#8217;s said to be the <strong>missing chunk of nearby Mount Puig Campana<\/strong>, hacked into the sea by the mythical giant Roland with his sword. Whether or not you believe the tale, the island makes a brilliant half-day trip. Boats depart regularly from the harbour, and a return ticket costs approximately \u20ac15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island functions as an important marine reserve, so overnight stays are strictly forbidden. The water around the cliffs is crystal clear and teeming with colourful marine life.

Terra M\u00edtica Theme Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling with the family, a visit to this enormous theme park should be high on your list. Terra M\u00edtica <strong>takes you on a journey through the ancient Mediterranean<\/strong>. The park is divided into several zones representing Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, with sets that are detailed down to the tiniest element. You&#8217;ll find giant pyramids, ancient temples, and replicas of Roman arenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s something here for both thrill-seekers and younger children. Top attractions include the <strong>wooden roller coaster Magnus Colossus<\/strong> and the giant Synkope pendulum ride that spins you high above the ground. Throughout the day, there are also various shows \u2014 from gladiator battles to acrobatic performances. An advance online day ticket costs around \u20ac40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: It gets scorching hot during summer, so plan your visit so you <strong>tackle the biggest roller coasters first thing in the morning<\/strong>, then cool off on the water rides like the Nile River Rapids during the heat of midday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Water_Fun_at_Aqualandia\"><\/span>8. Water Fun at Aqualandia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Right next to the Sierra Helada natural park lies one of the oldest and largest water parks in Europe. Aqualandia is truly unique in that it <strong>uses filtered seawater to operate<\/strong>. Surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation, the park offers more than twenty different attractions for all ages, from lazy rivers to extreme water slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park&#8217;s crowning glory is the <strong>adrenaline-pumping Verti-Go slide<\/strong>, which sends you hurtling down at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour. For families with kids, there&#8217;s a huge wave pool and elaborate children&#8217;s zones with smaller slides. Entry costs around \u20ac35, but if you combine it with a ticket to the neighbouring Mundomar animal park, you&#8217;ll save a good chunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: If you can, <strong>avoid visiting the park at weekends<\/strong>, when locals from across the region descend alongside tourists, and queues for the slides get painfully long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_The_Citys_Green_Lungs_Parque_de_LAiguera\"><\/span>9. The City&#8217;s Green Lungs: Parque de L&#8217;Aig\u00fcera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid the concrete jungle of skyscrapers, you&#8217;ll find a surprisingly spacious oasis of calm. This long linear park was <strong>designed by the celebrated Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill<\/strong> in a neoclassical style. It runs through the heart of the city like a long green ribbon, serving as the main pedestrian artery separating the old quarter from the new. Tall palms and wide sandy promenades line the park throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the park, you&#8217;ll discover two beautiful amphitheatres where <strong>concerts, theatre performances, and festivals<\/strong> are held during the summer season. It&#8217;s the perfect spot for an afternoon picnic or simply a moment&#8217;s rest in the shade when you&#8217;ve had enough of baking on the beach. Locals come here to walk their dogs and play p\u00e9tanque on the manicured courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: At the far end of the park near the town hall, you&#8217;ll find an interesting <strong>covered arena \u2014 the Plaza de Toros<\/strong> \u2014 which nowadays mainly hosts cultural events and live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Hike_to_La_Cruz_de_Benidorm\"><\/span>10. Hike to La Cruz de Benidorm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fancy stretching your legs and rewarding yourself with the best views on the entire coast, head to the hill on the eastern edge of town. The monumental La Cruz cross was erected in the 1960s, supposedly as a symbolic gesture to <strong>redeem the city&#8217;s sins<\/strong> for being the first place in Spain to allow bikinis on its beaches. Today, it&#8217;s a popular destination for hikers and cyclists alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route starts at the far end of Levante Beach and follows a tarmac road winding along the edge of the Sierra Helada natural park. On foot, the <strong>climb takes just under an hour<\/strong> and is manageable for anyone with average fitness. From the top, the city is laid out beneath you like a map \u2014 from the bustling beaches and the forest of skyscrapers to the distant mountain peaks inland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: Go in the late afternoon, because <strong>watching the city light up at night<\/strong> from this vantage point is absolutely magical \u2014 your photos won&#8217;t need any filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Nightlife_and_Legendary_Cabarets\"><\/span>11. Nightlife and Legendary Cabarets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the sun dips below the horizon, the city reveals its other face. The nightlife here splits into two fairly distinct zones. The first is the so-called &#8220;zona guiri&#8221; (British zone) around Calle Gerona. Here, you&#8217;ll find an <strong>endless strip of British pubs<\/strong>, karaoke bars, and clubs where the party doesn&#8217;t stop until dawn. It&#8217;s loud, wild, and dripping with neon \u2014 exactly what you might have seen in the TV documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re after something a touch more sophisticated, head for the Spanish nightlife scene in the old town or near Levante Beach. A true gem is the <strong>legendary Benidorm Palace<\/strong>, a lavish cabaret in the style of Paris&#8217;s Moulin Rouge. Expect a spectacular evening show packed with feathers, sequins, acrobatics, and flamenco \u2014 and you can pair it with a gala dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: For an authentic Spanish fiesta, make your way to the <strong>clubs along the N-332 road<\/strong>, where locals gather and dance to Latin American rhythms until the early hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Traditional_Markets_and_Shopping\"><\/span>12. Traditional Markets and Shopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its modern facade, the city has preserved the tradition of street markets \u2014 an integral part of Spanish life. The biggest is the <strong>Wednesday Mercadillo de Foietes<\/strong>, held in the upper part of town. Among the sea of stalls, you can pick up the freshest local produce \u2014 from ripe tomatoes and citrus fruits to olives and enormous wheels of cheese. It&#8217;s a wonderful place to soak up an authentic atmosphere and practise your haggling skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also worth a mention is the weekend flea market El Cisne Rastro, located a bit further from the centre on the road towards the neighbouring town of L&#8217;Alf\u00e0s del Pi. This market has a <strong>fantastic bohemian atmosphere<\/strong>, with live jazz music playing and stacks of antiques, vintage clothing, and all manner of curiosities to rummage through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: Get to the market around nine in the morning, because <strong>by noon the heat becomes unbearable<\/strong> and stallholders start packing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1287\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest.jpg\" alt=\"Day trip to the mountain village of Guadalest\" class=\"wp-image-183466\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/benidorm-vylet-do-horske-vesnicky-guadalest-1392x933.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Centro Nacional de Informaci\u00f3n Geogr\u00e1fica \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Day_Trip_to_the_Mountain_Village_of_Guadalest\"><\/span>13.

Just roughly 25 kilometres from the coast lies Castell de Guadalest \u2014 <strong>one of the most visited villages in all of Spain<\/strong>. Its setting is utterly dramatic: houses and the remains of an old castle balance on a narrow rocky ridge, accessible only through a tunnel carved into the rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the ramparts, an incredible view unfolds across the valley, dominated by a <strong>reservoir with impossibly turquoise water<\/strong>. The village itself is packed with little shops selling ceramics and local products. You&#8217;ll also find several quirky museums, including a miniatures museum and a museum of historical torture instruments. The whole trip, including travel time, makes for a pleasant half-day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: The village car park has very limited capacity, so <strong>I&#8217;d recommend arriving either very early in the morning<\/strong> or in the late afternoon, once the big coach tours have departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Sampling_Rice_Dishes_and_the_Truth_About_Paella\"><\/span>14. Sampling Rice Dishes and the Truth About Paella<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Costa Blanca coast lies just a short distance from Valencia, the undisputed birthplace of paella. It drives local chefs to despair that tourists consider the seafood version to be the authentic one. Historically, it&#8217;s a rustic countryside dish, and <strong>a true paella valenciana is made exclusively with chicken and rabbit<\/strong>, green beans, and large white butter beans. If you&#8217;re vegetarian, don&#8217;t worry \u2014 most decent restaurants will happily prepare an excellent vegetable version (paella de verduras).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The secret to a perfect paella lies in cooking it over an open fire of orange wood and creating the socarrat \u2014 that <strong>slightly caramelised, crispy crust on the bottom of the pan<\/strong>. Steer well clear of restaurants on the main promenade that display giant photo menus outside. Beyond rice dishes, be sure to try the refreshing horchata drink made from tiger nuts \u2014 an absolute lifesaver in the summer heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: For the best rice, <strong>seek out traditional restaurants called arrocer\u00edas<\/strong>, and remember that proper Spaniards eat paella exclusively at lunchtime, never for dinner \u2014 it&#8217;s considered far too heavy to eat before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Exploring_the_Coast_by_Modern_Tram\"><\/span>15. Exploring the Coast by Modern Tram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to explore the area without needing to hire a car is the TRAM d&#8217;Alacant network. This modern transport system \u2014 somewhere between a tram and a light railway \u2014 <strong>connects the entire coastline from Alicante all the way to D\u00e9nia<\/strong>. The journey is supremely comfortable: carriages are fully air-conditioned and the windows offer fantastic views of the sea and dramatic cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely head north to the town of Calpe, where the <strong>massive limestone rock Pe\u00f1\u00f3n de Ifach<\/strong> towers over 300 metres straight out of the sea. You should also make a stop in Altea, often described as the prettiest town on the Costa Blanca. Its old centre is a cascade of snow-white houses topped by the bright blue domes of a church, creating a picture-perfect Mediterranean scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Top tip: TRAM tickets are very affordable (just a few euros) and <strong>you can buy them easily from machines at every stop<\/strong> or directly from the conductor on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_from_Benidorm\"><\/span>Where to Go from Benidorm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re tempted to explore more of sunny Spain, you&#8217;re in a brilliant position for onward travel.

If you stay in the Poniente beach area, you&#8217;ll avoid the noisy nightlife completely. A huge draw for families are the spotlessly clean beaches with a gentle slope into the sea and the top-notch amusement and water parks.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780212988001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_car_to_get_around_the_resort\"><\/span>Do I need a car to get around the resort?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not at all. Renting a car only pays off if you&#8217;re planning trips into the more remote inland areas. <strong>The town itself is brilliantly walkable<\/strong>, there&#8217;s a reliable network of city buses, and for trips along the coast the fast TRAM d&#8217;Alacant tram-train works perfectly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780212988002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_airport_is_closest_and_how_do_I_get_from_it_to_town\"><\/span>Which airport is closest and how do I get from it to town?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The nearest international <strong>airport is in Alicante<\/strong> (ALC), about 60 kilometres away. Getting from there is very easy: ALSA express buses leave right from the terminal and take you to the centre of the resort in just under an hour. A ticket costs around 10 euros.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780212988003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_true_that_theres_a_tourist_tax_in_the_town\"><\/span>Is it true that there&#8217;s a tourist tax in the town?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>While a tourist tax is common in <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Barcelona (booking)\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/barcelona-booking\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Barcelona<\/a> or on the Balearic Islands, the entire Valencia region (which Costa Blanca falls under) <strong>put off introducing the tax for a long time<\/strong>. The originally planned fee was suspended after the elections, so for now it isn&#8217;t being charged. The situation could change, though, so it&#8217;s best to check the current status with your accommodation provider before you travel.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780212988004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_sea_temperature_during_the_summer_holidays\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the sea temperature during the summer holidays?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>During July and August the Mediterranean in this area warms up so much that <strong>the water temperature commonly reaches 26 to 28 degrees Celsius<\/strong>. The water is beautifully warm and ideal even for the smallest children, who can spend long hours in it without ever feeling cold.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780212988005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_eat_healthily_in_the_town_or_is_it_just_fast_food\"><\/span>Can you eat healthily in the town, or is it just fast food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Although the British zone is overflowing with offers of all-day English breakfasts and fast food, the historic centre and the Poniente area <strong>serve up fantastic Mediterranean cuisine<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find dozens of traditional tapas bars, excellent caf\u00e9s with locally roasted coffee and restaurants focused on fresh local ingredients and vegetable dishes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780212988006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_worth_coming_here_in_winter\"><\/span>Is it worth coming here in winter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Absolutely. The winter months see huge numbers of so-called &#8220;snowbirds&#8221;, mostly British and Scandinavian retirees, spending their time here. <strong>Temperatures in January and February often climb to 18 degrees<\/strong>, the sun is strong and the days are beautifully bright. It&#8217;s the ideal time for cycling, hiking and lingering on caf\u00e9 terraces without the summer heat.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the two faces of Benidorm, Spain, where buzzing promenades beneath soaring skyscrapers meet the charm of winding old town alleys and the serenity of quieter beaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":182219,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Benidorm Spain: 15 Best Things to See and Do (2026)","rank_math_description":"Planning a trip to Benidorm Spain?
