The Spanish province of Alicante is a treasure trove of beautiful beaches and wild nightlife. But there's more to experience than sun, sea, sand and sangria. From the charming cobbled streets of its villages, to the many watersports activities that line its shores, Alicante has all the makings of a dream all-inclusive holiday.
Add bargain flights from the UK and affordable all-inclusive resorts and it's a fantastic choice for a cheap holiday in the sun, too.
With a stunningly diverse landscape and 150 miles (241km) of coastline, there are plenty of outstanding resort towns in Alicante – whether you want to lounge with cocktails by the pool, hit the beach or hike through the hills.
An all-inclusive within the city of Alicante is a great base from which to explore the best of Costa Blanca, from Santa Bárbara Castle to the peaceful island of Tabarca. That’s when you’re not drinking in the sunset from your resort’s beachfront terrace, of course.
Set back from the coast, the all-inclusives of L’Alfas del Pi know how to entertain, with themed experiences, water parks and heaps of energy. Hop off the plane, check in and spend your days whizzing down waterslides, relaxing in spas or sipping cocktails in the pool bar.
Iconic Benidorm is Alicante’s package holiday capital. With stacks of affordable all-inclusive resorts set along the coastline, it boasts beach clubs and seafront bars in abundance. When it’s time to leave the beach behind, thermal spas, water parks, solariums, and cocktail lounges offer plenty more in the way of indulgence and enjoyment.
Visit Calpe for all the old-world charm of a Spanish fishing village with the modern convenience of an all-inclusive beachside resort. Spend your holiday sunning yourself by the pool or on the beach, watching the trawlers return to the harbour with their catch, or visiting nearby historic sites.
With plenty of affordable all-inclusive accommodation, a beach for every day of your stay, and myriad activities — from watersports to horse riding — Alicante is built for family holidays. That it gets around 300 days of sunshine a year is an added bonus!
There’s fun for all the family at Benidorm’s Africa-themed Magic Rock Gardens Hotel. The water park’s Aqua-Tube, Aqua-Splash and Kamikaze slides provide hours of adrenaline-fuelled fun. When it’s time for some adult-only relaxation, hit the pool bar or slip into the spa for a soothing body wrap.
Stay at Hotel Bonalba to wake up to otherworldly mountain views before plunging into the pool or relaxing in the spa amid the resort’s beautiful tropical gardens. For the little ones, there are mini-discos, talent shows, gymkhanas and plenty of pool inflatables. It’s right next door to one of Costa Blanca’s best golf courses, too.
Book a stay here to enjoy the comfort, convenience and round-the-clock service of an all-inclusive resort — but with all the space of an apartment. Get wet and wild in the adventure waterpark, cool off at the swim-up bar and roll back the years at the Fountain of Youth beauty spa.
Quiet coves, private beaches, and dreamy sunset dinners on the terrace — do it all on a couple’s getaway in Alicante. Whether you want to spend your stay on your sunlounger or exploring Spain’s east coast, there’s a resort with your names on it.
Bear witness to a spectacular sunset on the AluaSun Doblemar’s seafront terrace with a cocktail in hand. Before dinner, watch the chefs put on a show, and then tuck in to a sumptuous meal with the Mediterranean stretching out before you. There’s an all-day entertainment programme at this resort too.
Reconnect with the Romantic Getaway package at Sandos Monaco and indulge in private hot tub time, couples massage and facial beauty treatments. This pampering comes on top of an all-inclusive breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks. When the sun reaches its peak, hit the pool for polo, aquagym or cocktails.
If you’re a couple that likes to play together, the Flamingo Beach Resort has you covered. Think cycling, golf, diving, and all sorts of games and competitions. For a more sedate getaway, relax on your private balcony or book in for a Thai massage for two.
