Best Family-Resort Stays in Benidorm

Kitchenettes and kids' clubs near the water parks

Apartamentos Pelicano and Apartamentos la Barca both sit within a two-minute walk of Poniente Beach, each with family rooms, kitchenettes and balconies, putting self-catering families close enough to the sand to manage nap schedules around beach time without a long walk back for lunch or an afternoon snack between swims through the middle of the day. Both apartments also sit close to Plaza Mayor Square and the Church of San Jaime and Santa Ana, useful for an evening stroll once the children have settled for the night after a full day in the water.

Hotel RH Corona del Mar and Hotel RH Victoria & Spa both run seasonal entertainment programmes including live music and kids' discos in summer, alongside indoor and outdoor play areas at the Victoria property, giving parents an on-site option on days when the theme parks feel like too much organising for a single afternoon spent shuttling between rides and queues in the summer heat. The Victoria's access to the AP-7 Motorway also makes Terra Mítica a realistic twelve-minute drive whenever a full theme-park day does make sense for the whole group.

Two hundred metres from Levante Beach, Aparthotel BCL Levante Club combines two outdoor pools and one indoor pool with a children's play area and games room, positioning it as a base for families who want pool variety alongside beach access without booking separate day trips to fill an otherwise quiet afternoon back at the apartment between meals. Faula Golf Club sits two kilometres away too, useful for mixed groups where one parent wants a round while the rest of the family stays at the pool. The property's 24-hour reception also covers late arrivals without disrupting the rest of a family's carefully planned first evening in town.

Terra Mítica sits roughly fifteen minutes' drive from most Benidorm hotels, and Aqualandia closer still at under three kilometres from several Rincón de Loix properties including Ambassador Playa I and Hotel Gold Arcos, close enough that a half-day theme park visit does not eat into the whole stay the way a longer, more distant excursion inevitably would for a family managing nap times and early dinners around an already busy daily schedule. Several hotels near Rincón de Loix also run shuttle pickup for Aqualandia directly, cutting out a taxi or bus transfer on the busiest days.

Family tourism built modern Benidorm as much as the beaches did; Aqualandia, Terra Mítica and Terra Natura sit a short drive from the centre and much of the town's accommodation stock, from aparthotels to full-service resorts, grew up around shuttling families between the sand and the theme parks across the decades since the 1960s tourism boom first reshaped the coastline from a fishing village into a resort. That history means the family-resort category here is unusually deep, running from budget self-catering apartments near Poniente to spa-equipped hotels on Levante with their own kids' entertainment programmes and dedicated play areas built into the pool deck itself.
