Things to do in Benidorm

Nestled on the Costa Blanca and blessed with an enviable Mediterranean climate, Benidorm is one of Spain's most popular tourist destinations. Originally a small fishing village, it's now famous for its towering skyscrapers, earning it the nickname 'Manhattan of the Med'. Besides its beautiful beaches, Benidorm boasts excellent cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and numerous cultural and natural attractions. Read on to discover the must-do activities and excursions in this city of contrasts.

The Six Best Activities and Excursions in Benidorm

1. Explore the Old Town of Benidorm

The old town is situated on a promontory that separates Levante Beach from Poniente Beach. Walking through its narrow streets, which contrast with the imposing avenues and skyscrapers along the coast, you can still feel Benidorm's seafaring past. During your visit, don't miss the beautiful San Jaime Church with its blue dome, and make sure to visit the 'Balcón del Mediterráneo' — the city's most iconic viewpoint — for spectacular sea views.

2. Take a Trip to Valencia

The city of Valencia is about a 90-minute drive from Benidorm, so if you haven't visited yet, you can take a trip during your holiday. Its rich architectural heritage and delicious culinary scene are well worth the journey. Marvel at the futuristic design of the City of Arts and Sciences, discover the impressive Silk Exchange, admire the cathedral and the Miguelete tower, and enjoy a snack at the Mercado de Colón — just a few of the many activities you can enjoy in Valencia.

3. Cool Off at Aqualandia

Located in a beautiful natural setting surrounded by gardens with typical local vegetation, Aqualandia is one of the largest water parks in Europe. With a wide range of water attractions suitable for both families and adrenaline lovers, it's the ideal place for a fun-filled day. Thrill-seekers should not miss Verti-Go, which combines the tallest slide in Europe and the tallest capsule slide in the world. There are also plenty of attractions and pools for those who prefer a more relaxed experience.

4. Have Fun at Terra Mítica

This incredible theme park, inspired by ancient Mediterranean civilizations, is divided into five areas: Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia, and The Islands.

Visitors can also enjoy fantastic live shows and, when they need a break, refuel at the cafés and restaurants scattered throughout the park.

5. Discover the Algar Waterfalls

The Algar Waterfalls, located about 15km from Benidorm, are one of the most stunning natural sites on the Costa Blanca. This 1.5km circuit along the Algar River features spectacular waterfalls and natural pools where you can enjoy a refreshing swim on hot summer days. For an even more complete experience, choose an excursion that combines a visit to the Algar Waterfalls with a stop in the picturesque village of Guadalest.

6. Enjoy a Boat Trip to Benidorm Island

One of the most popular activities in Benidorm is boat excursions to the small islet off the city's coast. This area, part of the Serra Gelada Natural Park, is famous for its rich marine life, which is why many travellers opt for trips in glass-bottom boats. Once on the island, you can explore at your own pace. If you feel like walking, follow the trail to the lighthouse for beautiful panoramic views.

Plan your visit to Benidorm

When is the best time to visit Benidorm?

With 300 days of sunshine a year and an average annual temperature of 19°C, Benidorm is an ideal destination at any time. The high season coincides with the summer months, when maximum temperatures hover around 30°C and tourist numbers are higher. Travellers who wish to explore the city at a leisurely pace and enjoy an active holiday might consider visiting Benidorm in the spring. The mild temperatures are perfect for exploring the old town or going on hiking routes. Similarly, autumn is also a good time to visit the city of skyscrapers, as the weather remains very pleasant in late September and early October.

How many days should I spend in Benidorm?

Three days are enough to visit the most iconic places in Benidorm, such as the old town and the 'Balcón del Mediterráneo'. You'll also have plenty of time to relax on the famous Poniente and Levante beaches, experience the vibrant nightlife, or visit some nearby theme parks. However, if you want to make the most of your holiday by spending several days on the beach and exploring neighbouring towns, it's best to stay for at least five days or a week.

Where are the best beaches in Benidorm?

Its vast expanse also makes it perfect for sand sports. Both beaches offer a full range of services and numerous dining options. For those who prefer a more intimate and tranquil setting, La Almadrava Cove and Tío Ximo Cove, with their stunning landscapes, are the best choices, especially for snorkelling enthusiasts.
