Hotels in Benidorm
Benidorm is the high-rise resort town of the Costa Blanca in Alicante province, built around two long sandy beaches, Levante and Poniente, either side of a rocky old-town headland.
Where to stay in Benidorm starts with a choice between two coasts. The Costa Blanca resort in Alicante province is really two beaches stitched together by a rocky old town: Levante, the high-rise strip of Rincón de Loix with its late-night bars and skyscraper hotels, and Poniente, the calmer, more residential stretch favoured by families and returning couples. Both sit within walking distance of the Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint and the Casco Antiguo, and both are a short bus or tram ride from Aqualandia and Terra Mítica. Travellers who want nightlife on the doorstep pick Levante; those after a quieter base with the same beach quality pick Poniente or the old town itself, and both routes lead back to the same stretch of Mediterranean sand within twenty minutes on foot.

Lokale tips
- ✓Base yourself in Rincón de Loix behind Levante Beach if you want to walk to bars and clubs without a taxi home.
- ✓Pick Poniente or the old town if you want the same sea but a quieter street at night.
- ✓July and August are the busiest and hottest weeks; late May, June and September keep the heat down and the prices lower.
- ✓The Costa Blanca coach and local bus network link Benidorm to Alicante-Elche Airport directly, so a hire car is not essential for a beach-only stay.
- ✓Book a sea-view balcony explicitly on Levante-facing towers; interior-facing rooms in the same building can be considerably cheaper.
- ✓Day-trip to Guadalest or the Algar waterfalls if you want a break from the beach; both are under 45 minutes inland by car.

Veelgestelde vragen
Where is the best area to stay in Benidorm?
Rincón de Loix behind Levante Beach suits travellers who want nightlife within walking distance, while Poniente Beach and the old town around the Casco Antiguo offer a calmer base with the same sea access and shorter walks to the historic quarter and its viewpoint.
Is Levante or Poniente beach better for families?
Poniente is generally the quieter, more residential choice for families, though several family-oriented hotels also sit directly on Levante; the deciding factor is usually how much evening noise a family wants to be near rather than the sand or water quality itself.
How far is Benidorm from Alicante airport?
Alicante-Elche Airport is roughly 45 to 60 minutes from Benidorm by road, and is served directly by Costa Blanca coach lines, so travellers without a rental car can still reach the resort easily on arrival and departure days.
What is there to do in Benidorm besides the beach?
Aqualandia water park, Terra Mítica and Terra Natura sit a short drive from the centre, the Casco Antiguo old town has the Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint, and the Guadalest valley and Algar waterfalls make for an easy inland day trip from any base in town.
What kind of accommodation does Benidorm have?
The resort runs from adults-only high-rise hotels with rooftop pools on Levante to family aparthotels with kitchenettes near Poniente, plus boutique properties in the old town and spa hotels set back from both beaches, covering most budgets and travel styles.
When is the best time to visit Benidorm?
Late spring and early autumn give warm sea temperatures with fewer crowds and lower rates than the peak of July and August, while winter stays mild enough for beach walks even if the swimming season itself has effectively ended by then.
