Benidorm Essentials

Benidorm’s landscape is defined by the 202-meter Intempo skyscraper and the sweeping Levante Beach. Beyond the modern high-rises, the city preserves its history at the Tossal de la Cala Roman fort and the narrow streets of the Old Town. Major attractions include the Terra Mítica theme park and Aqualandia water park. For views, the Mirador de la Cruz and Punta Canfali provide vantage points over the Mediterranean and the city’s dense urban architecture.

Theme Parks & Attractions

Benidorm's entertainment landscape features a high concentration of large-scale theme parks and water attractions. Terra Mítica explores ancient Mediterranean civilizations through five themed zones: Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia, and the Islands. Nearby, Aqualandia hosts some of Europe's tallest water slides, including the Verti-Go. For families, Aqua Natura offers 40,000 square meters of aquatic facilities alongside sea lion encounters, while Festilandia provides central, urban-based rides for younger children. Thrill-seekers can find specialized rollercoasters like the wooden Magnus Colosus and the 360-degree spinning Inferno.

Best Beaches and Coves

Benidorm's coastline offers a contrast between expansive urban beaches and rugged natural coves. The three-kilometer Poniente Beach provides a wide sandy shore with a modern promenade, while the smaller Mal Pas Beach sits tucked beneath the Old Town's cliffs. To the east, the Sierra Helada Natural Park shelters Tio Ximo and Almadrava, two secluded coves characterized by rocky terrain and clear waters. Nearby, Cala de Finestrat serves as a distinct sandy bay separated from the main resort area by a rocky headland.

Iconic Views & Landmarks

Benidorm’s coastline is marked by strategic heights and historical fortifications. This selection includes the 1st-century BC Roman archaeological site at Tossal de la Cala and the 14th-century fortress foundations at Punta Canfali. It features 16th-century defensive structures like Torre de les Caletes and Torre Morales, built to guard against pirate raids. These sites offer vantage points ranging from the high-altitude cliffs of Sierra Helada at Mirador de la Cruz to the central rocky outcrop separating the city’s two main beaches.

By tram: A tram line runs along the coast between Alicante and Benidorm, and takes about an hour and a half.

Mat och dryck

Benidorm has food from all over Europe, along with local Valencian cooking. Rice dishes such as paella and arroz a banda (rice cooked in fish stock) are common, and seafood is fresh.

Tapas bars in the old town are a good place to eat in the evening.

Frukost

Churros Churros con ChocolateFried dough sticks served with a thick, dark hot chocolate for dipping — a classic Spanish breakfast or late-night snack.

Lunch

Paella ValencianaA saffron-scented rice dish cooked in a wide, shallow pan. The traditional Valencian version uses chicken, rabbit, and green beans — best eaten at midday.

GazpachoA cold, blended soup of raw tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, originally from Andalusia. Served as a drink or a starter, especially in summer.

Middag

Pulpo a la GallegaBoiled octopus sliced onto a wooden board and dressed with olive oil, coarse salt, and smoked paprika — a signature dish of Galicia.

Mellanmål och gatumat

Jamón IbéricoDry-cured ham from acorn-fed Iberian pigs, sliced paper-thin and eaten on its own or with bread. The finest grade, jamón ibérico de bellota, is one of Spain's most prized products.

Tortilla EspañolaA thick potato and egg omelette, served warm or at room temperature, found in virtually every bar in Spain. Often eaten as a tapa or a quick meal.

Patatas BravasFried potato chunks served with a spicy tomato sauce or aioli — one of the most common tapas across the country.

PintxosSmall snacks anchored to slices of bread with a toothpick, the Basque Country's answer to tapas. Found in bar counters across San Sebastián and Bilbao, often with elaborate toppings.

CroquetasCrispy breaded cylinders with a creamy béchamel filling, typically made with jamón, bacalà (salt cod), or mushrooms.

Drycker

Rioja Wine Vino de RiojaSpain's best-known wine region produces full-bodied reds from Tempranillo grapes, aged in oak. The crianza, reserva, and gran reserva labels indicate increasing age and complexity.

Säkerhet och hälsa

Benidorm is generally safe. Pickpocketing can happen in crowded areas and on the beach, so keep valuables close. Summer heat is strong, so wear sun protection and drink water. Take care in the sea when red flags are shown.

Historia

Benidorm was a small fishing village until the late 1950s. The mayor then allowed high-rise buildings and relaxed rules for beachwear, and the village grew into one of Europe's best-known beach resorts.

Today it has the most high-rise buildings per person in Europe, and it attracts visitors all year.
