Benidorm holidays
The original British favourite: two sandy bays, a skyline of towers and more to do than you can fit in a week. Benidorm does fun, and it does it well.
Why choose Benidorm?
Benidorm is the holiday that never goes out of style. Two long sandy bays, a skyline of towers, a proper old town, and more bars, shows, water parks and cabaret than any resort has a right to. It's fun, unapologetically so.
Families love the beaches and theme parks, couples love the old town and the calmer coves, and groups love the nightlife. It's close, it's sunny and it's set up for British visitors, which is exactly why it works.
Unmissable Benidorm.
Ride the Aqualandia water park
Slides, rapids and a wave pool. One of Spain's best water parks, just outside the resort.
Take the cable car to the summit
A cable car up to the Sierra Helada for views back over the whole resort and coastline.
Wander the Old Town
Tapas bars, a blue-domed church and a castle viewpoint. The quieter, more Spanish end of Benidorm.
Catch a show on the strip
Cabaret, tribute acts and comedy. Benidorm's nightlife is legendary and genuinely good fun.
