Chill on the beach then turn the heat up for a night on the tiles or take in a family show in one of the dozens of pubs and show bars on holidays to Benidorm.
Cheap Benidorm holidays on the south-eastern coast of Spain have been a tried-and-trusted friend to many a British holidaymaker over the years. Above the rows of brightly coloured beach umbrellas that line Benidorm's famous white-sand beaches, the resort's unmistakable skyline soars into the big blue Spanish sky. At its heart are the tapas bars and whitewashed houses of the Old Town, holding their own amidst the vertical architecture of Levante to the east and Poniente to the west. Behind this neon metropolis rises the dusty peak of Puig Campana mountain.
Best of Benidorm holidays for...
- Nightlife: Join the party crowd in “The Square”, a jam-packed concentration of bars and clubs at the junction of Avenida Mallorca and Calle Gerona. Hippodrome is one of the most happening clubs for an earful of dance decibels.
- Babies & toddlers: Levante beach is the place to take the tiny troupe. With calm waters, plenty of parasols to hire and a play area at hand, this is what holidays to Benidorm are all about for the knee-high.
- Active types: If lazing on the beach doesn't float your boat, take your pick from wind-surfing, jet-skiing, water-skiing and scuba diving, to name just a few of the watersports on offer.
- Kids & teens: Feeling brave? Make a big splash at Aqualandia, featuring the Big Bang, one of Europe's highest water chutes. Milder rides and attractions make those with less bravado squeal with pleasure rather than terror!
- Shopping: The old quarter is the place to spend your Euros. Boutiques, gift shops and art galleries compete for your cash along pretty pedestrianised Avenida Martinez Alejos.
