Benidorm is located in the province of Alicante and is one of its most popular destinations for holidaymakers. Cliffs and mountains make a spectacular backdrop to high-rise apartments and long, sandy beaches. This busy sun-soaked city offers exciting watersports and scenic hiking trails as well as a fun night out on the town.
Walk along the Levante Beach promenade in the morning before heading to one of the many busy cafés for breakfast. Check out the local bazaars to buy souvenirs and tackle the stairs leading to and from the Balcón del Mediterráneo, a beautiful white balcony that sits high on a rock above the Mediterranean Sea.
Cool off with a swim in the ocean. Explore the Levante and Poniente beaches with a kayak or catamaran tour. Book a scuba diving tour to see the incredible marine life around Benidorm Island.
Land-based sports are also on offer in Benidorm. Get a workout with a match of beach volleyball or work on your precision in a game of boules. Golf and tennis can be played at the local sports pavillion. Lace up your hiking boots or hire a bike to explore the nearby Sierra Helada National Park and its breathtaking Puig Campana mountain.
