Benidorm
Manhattan on the Mediterranean
With beaches that have made it famous all over the world, it’s no wonder that Benidorm has been firmly on millions of people’s holiday lists for more than 50 years. The city’s two urban beaches are considered to be the best on the Mediterranean coast, and its three picturesque coves make the perfect contrast against the unique skyline which gives Benidorm the nickname “Manhattan on the Mediterranean”.
But there’s so much more that’s waiting to be discovered in Benidorm, especially in terms of experiences, which are as numerous as its visitors.
That’s because there’s a Benidorm for every kind of visitor; whether you’re in search of fun, wanting to switch off, you’re looking for an active outdoor break in stunning surroundings, or you love to enjoy excellent food and drink, there’s all this in one single package.
Benidorm has some of the best urban beaches on the Mediterranean: Levante and Poniente. They both share crystal clear water, fine sand, quality certificates, blue flags and lots of services to make going to the beach a pleasant experience.
Poniente beach is wider, longer and quieter than Levante, and is used by more Spanish visitors. It’s ideal for spending a day with your family or if you’re looking to take part in some sand sports, with 12 games and sports areas. Both beaches have libraries and children’s play areas, plus several specially equipped areas so that people with disabilities can enjoy a dip in the sea. In addition to this, along its 7km of coastline, Benidorm also has three beautiful coves hidden away amongst the rocks. The five theme parks in Benidorm make the resort unique.
This extensive range of parks means that families can enjoy the fun and shows that are on offer all day long. If you love animals then Mundomar, with its sea lion, parrot and dolphin shows, is ideal to visit.
If you prefer wild animals, Terra Natura is perfect. As this is an educational park, you can learn about animals from different parts of the world and find out about their habitats. However, if you’re looking to keep cool and have fun at the same time the Aqualandia and Aqua Natura water parks are a great choice. They have attractions for children of all ages, shallow pools, shows, toboggans, slides and many other fun things to make it a memorable day out.
If you’re an adventure seeker, Terra Mitica is the place to go. With shows for families and children of all ages, you’ll be impressed by the sounds and costumes. For the little ones, there are attractions especially for them so they don’t have to miss out on all the fun.
