Benidorm is a coastal city on Spain's Mediterranean shore, in the Valencian Community. It is a destination for beach holidays, and its waterfront is lined with tall hotels that give the skyline a distinctive look when seen from the sea or the promenade.
What the visit offers
- Beaches: The city is known for its beaches, which make the sea and sand the natural centre of a stay.
- Waterfront hotels: The towering hotels along the front are a defining feature, and many visitors choose to stay right on the coast.
- Nightlife: Benidorm is also known for its lively evenings, with bars and entertainment running late into the night.
Planning a trip
Benidorm suits visitors who want a sea-focused holiday with easy access to the water and a busy social atmosphere after dark. Those who prefer quieter surroundings may want to look for accommodation away from the central strip. Because it is a popular resort, it is worth checking what is open and available before you travel, especially during the peak summer months.
