Hotels in Benidorm

Benidorm's best bases are Levante Beach for nightlife and high-rise views, Poniente Beach for a quieter, family-oriented stretch, and the Old Town (Casco Antiguo) around Plaza de la Iglesia for tapas bars and the Balcón del Mediterráneo lookout. Alicante-Elche Airport sits 55 km south, about 40 minutes by car or direct bus.

Where to Stay

Levante Beach runs 2 km along a curve of the Costa Blanca and holds most of Benidorm's high-rise hotel towers, including the district near Rincón de Loix, close to bars and the Terra Mítica shuttle stop. Poniente Beach, west of the old fishing quarter, draws families with calmer water and a promenade lined with mid-rise apartment-hotels. The Old Town, built on the rocky promontory between the two beaches, keeps narrow streets, the whitewashed Iglesia de San Jaime, and views from the Balcón del Mediterráneo cliff walk.

Getting Around

Local buses connect Levante, Poniente, and the Old Town every 10-15 minutes, and a Tram line links Benidorm to Alicante via Altea and Calpe along the coast. The bus station serves Terra Mítica, Aqualandia, and Mundomar theme parks, all within a 15-minute ride.

Practical Tips

• Best season: June through September for beach weather; April-May and October for lower rates and cooler walking.
• Airport transfer: Alicante-Elche Airport, 55 km, roughly 40 minutes by car or coach.
• Theme parks: Terra Mítica, Aqualandia, and Mundomar cluster north of town, reachable by dedicated shuttle bus.
• Old Town access: Park outside the pedestrian core; streets narrow sharply near Plaza de la Iglesia.
