Benidorm is one of the most famous tourist resorts in Spain. For its tumultuous development, from which soaring skyscrapers have sprung, it has earned the name ‘New York of the Mediterranean‘, while for the quantity of nightclubs dedicated to those who love to party until late in the morning, it is called ‘Spain’s Rimini‘.
In spite of massive concrete development, Benidorm still retains its charm, certainly due to the long golden sandy beaches and clean waters.
On the plus side of the building development is the enormous availability of top-quality tourist services, with a huge choice of hotels, flats and holiday homes, restaurants and clubs. Add to this the fact that Benidorm is easily accessible thanks to the many low-cost flights to Alicante or Valencia and you will understand why it has become one of the stars of international tourism.
Another reason for Benidorm’s tourist success is that the city offers services and entertainment for everyone: young people can immerse themselves in the exciting Spanish movida, grooving to music and meeting hotties; families can choose from numerous family-friendly facilities; the elderly will enjoy the tranquillity of services and beaches within walking distance; gays will find a relaxed atmosphere and many openly gay-friendly facilities.
For all ages and all seasons of the year, Benidorm is truly a must-visit destination.
Benidorm’s main tourist attraction are, of course, its beautiful beaches. The two city beaches are Playa de Levante and Playa de Poniente, two long stretches of fine sand sloping gently down to a calm, clean sea.
Playa de Levante is more crowded and turns into the centre of entertainment at night; Playa de Poniente is larger and less mundane. In between these two beaches is Mal Pas, a small cove of fine sand surrounded by palm trees.
If you are looking for tranquillity, move on to Ti Ximo and La Almadrava, two small natural bays in the far north of Benidorm. The coast here is rocky and rugged so these two beaches may not be suitable for families with small children, but they are recommended for snorkellers.
In all of Benidorm’s beaches it is possible to play water sports, beach volleyball and football. However, Benidorm and its surroundings offer many other opportunities for active holidaymakers. For example, you can find numerous hiking, cycling and mountain biking routes.
Benidorm certainly has the appearance of a modern city, with wide streets and tall buildings. Benidorm’s skyscrapers are now iconic and immediately evoke the image of a resort that has been able to ride the growing wave of international tourism.
Perhaps because they are so famous, Benidorm’s skyscrapers have taken on an iconic charm and it is interesting to stay and observe them, perhaps around sunset when the sun sets and the sky turns pink. Of all the skyscrapers, the most famous is the Gran Hotel Bali, which at 186 metres high and 52 storeys is the tallest hotel in Spain.
The beating heart of Benidorm is the promenade, a tree-lined pedestrian promenade with beach stalls, drinks kiosks, shops, bars and restaurants where you can stroll, shop, have a drink or simply watch people go by.
If the city and the promenade are modern and teeming with life, the pretty old town of Benidorm is more sleepy and has a much more nostalgic air. Spread out on a promontory overlooking the two main urban beaches, the centre of Benidorm was originally a small fishing village.
During your walk through the narrow streets and alleys of the centre, take a look at the Church of San Jaime, built in the 18th century.
For an impressive panoramic view, look for the Balcon del Mar, a pretty belvedere overlooking the sea.
Leaving Benidorm, the landscape becomes more natural and wild, becoming increasingly barren as you move north. Lovely villages to visit in this area are L’Alfàs del Pi, Altea and Calpe, while heading south you can visit Villajoyosa, Alcoy and the Carracal de la Font Roja Natural Park.
If you are travelling with children, or if you want to become a child again yourself, include in your holiday programme a day at one of the many theme parks around Benidorm, such as Terra mitica, Aqualandia and Mundomar.
Another nice excursion is a boat trip to the island of Benidorm, a small island off the coast that can be reached in just twenty minutes. There is a bar and restaurant on the island.
Another big attraction of Benidorm is its famous nightlife, which, according to Spanish rhythms, starts very late and ends in the morning.
More than 160 discotheques and disco-pubs, as well as bars de copas, strip-clubs, live music venues and waterfront kiosks enliven Benidorm’s nightlife, with attractions for all tastes.
The main entertainment areas in Benidorm are the seafront at Playa de Levante, the old town and the rincon de la loix, while just outside the town along the N322 national road towards Altea are the biggest discos. On the seafront, the clubs are almost all free; the discos on the N322 open and close later but charge a fee.
The so-called English Zone includes the streets Gerona, Ibiza, Mallorca and London. Here you will forget that you are in a Spanish city and immerse yourself in a 100% international atmosphere, with tourists from all over Europe (and beyond) drinking and dancing to the beat of the current hits until late at night.
