BENIDORM SPAIN
Traveling To Alicante And The Benidorm Area
By: Johnathan Bakers
Benidorm, Spain is considered the hottest, most popular
resort area on the Costa Blanca. Located about an hour
from the Alicante airport, on the Mediterranean Sea, this
tourist mecca is home to over 1000 restaurants and 30
nightclubs. Whether you’re traveling with adults or children,
you’ll find something to enjoy here.
This area, located north of Alicante and south of Altea,
offers the most family fun, with amusement parks and a
water park to enjoy during the day. It also offers the most
exciting nightlife on the coast. The Terra Mitica amusement
park is based on five different ancient civilizations, including
Greek and Roman. The Aqualandia Water Park has slides,
pools and other water activities the whole family can enjoy.
Mundomar Marine Exotic Animal Park boasts dolphins,
parrots, turtles, sea lions, penguins and many more animals
that are sure to delight children and adults alike.
The history of Benidorm winds through the Phoenicians, the
Romans, the Arabs and the Catholic Kings. Each one of
these civilizations has left its mark on the city, through
architecture and artifacts in museums and churches. You
can spend all day wandering through history, walking
through ancient buildings and touring ruins. By day, this city
is a great place to explore the area through group tours as
well as through independent excursions. By night it’s the
place for exciting nightlife, from restaurants to bars to
nightclubs.
Of the thousands of hotel rooms in Benidorm, the grandest
ones can be found at the Hotel Gran Bali. This 52-story
hotel is right on the beach, and is the tallest hotel in Europe.
It offers the most indulgent of amenities, including a spa,
game rooms and heated pools. It also offers rooms with
panoramic views of the sea, the mountains or the golf
course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Whether you lounge by
the pool or enjoy a massage at the spa, your experience at
this world-class won’t ever be forgotten.
The two beaches in Benidorm, the Levante and Poniente,
are highlights on the Costa Blanca. The Levante beach is
the livelier of the two, as it’s the one closest to the city
center. Here you’ll find a variety of restaurants and water
sports, including waterskiing and surfboard rental. The
quieter of the two beaches is Poniente. Here you’ll find an
area to relax and sunbathe all day. Rock formations in the
Bay of Benidorm create coves to explore from the water.
Depending on your mood, you have your choice of a laid-
back, tranquil beach or a more upbeat one.
The resort area of Benidorm offers more attractions and
activities than nearly any other area in Spain. The perfect
weather, beautiful surroundings and ample activities make
for a vacation to remember.
