The Best Things to Do in Benidorm

A major seaside resort on the famous Costa Blanca, Benidorm was built compactly, thanks to the foresight of a local government administrator in the 1960s, who had a vision for a holiday destination that would grow upwards. Today, the town is famous for its tall hotels and apartment blocks, many of which are over 25 floors high. Benidorm’s wide tree-lined avenues give a feeling of space. Its award-winning beaches are ideal vacation destinations year-round due to the region’s mild climate--the temperature rarely falls below 18 C (64 F). Benidorm may be a hotbed of mass tourism, but it also possesses that distinctive Mediterranean character, worth exploring any time of year. Plan your holiday in Benidorm and other destinations, from the rural, to the urban, and everything in between, using our Spain trip planner.
