Benidorm Holidays

Benidorm holidays are tried-and-tested for beaches, bars and adrenaline-pumping attractions. This place knows what works and runs with it.

Bold Benidorm

This place is the Swiss Army Knife of package holidays. It’s got everything you need to hand, from family-friendly theme parks and Blue Flag beaches to neon-lit nightlife and a charming old town. Everything’s up for grabs, from fry-ups to tapas, sherry to shots. And it’s not afraid to make a stand for its beloved holidaymakers – it was the first to break Spain’s bikini ban back in the Fifties.

The new

Levante Beach – AKA Playa de Levante – rules the roost in Benidorm’s new town. It’s a broad-shouldered belt of sand, buzzing with sand sculptors, jet-skis and bars. And they’ve even added colourful meeting points for families. Behind it, you’ve got The Square. This is karaoke and beer-swigging territory, with bars flying the flag for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The old

Poniente Beach is the shyer of Benidorm’s two sandy beaches. You’ll find this golden-sand curl at the old town end. There’s still plenty to do, though, like watersports or strolling the tie-dye prom. Plus, out at sea, there’s a great viewpoint where Benidorm castle once stood. If you head up a few streets, you’ll hit the old town, which is a nest of tapas bars and coffee shops.

The thrills

Benidorm’s got its hands on some of the best attractions in the Costa Blanca. You could spend a whole week in its theme and waterparks alone. Terra Mitica’s the big, Disneyland-style one. Just like the place it’s in, this massive theme park is multi-cultural – with zones dedicated to Egypt, Greece, Rome and Iberia. Two waterparks and a new generation zoo also join the party.
