Famed for lively nightlife and swathes of golden sand, Benidorm holidays are the Costa Blanca’s star attraction for night owls and sun seekers alike. While days are reserved for flip-flopping between a lounger and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean, evenings are lit up by glittering cabaret shows, playful karaoke bars and packed discos, which attract a roster of world-class DJs. It’s worth remembering that there’s plenty to see beyond the shimmering strip of high-rise buildings that hugs Benidorm’s coastline.
Nestled between two illustrious beaches, you’ll find the Old Town, which retains the characterful charm of its fishing-village origins. A mooch around these whitewashed streets makes for a welcome pitstop after exploring Benidorm’s more thrilling attractions, which include a waterpark, theme park and zoo. Whether you’re here to live it up with friends, enjoy some downtime with family or simply work on your tan in peace, holidays to Benidorm have got you covered.

Tuck into tapas
For an authentic taste of Spanish cuisine, take a stroll down ‘Tapas Alley’, as the restaurant-lined strip from Plaza de la Constitucion to Santo Domingo is affectionately known.
Play on the beach
With palm-lined promenades, children’s play parks and water sports aplenty, you’re guaranteed fun in the sun – you just need to choose which stretch of sand to plant your parasol on.
