we enjoy some of the most authentic Christmas fiestas.
Benidorm welcomes you completely transformed at Christmas without losing that fantastic climate that characterizes the town. A city brimming with lights, shows, decorations, activities, and attractions for the whole family, combined with our hotels, makes it your best choice this holiday season. Don't miss out!
These are the 9 reasons you were looking for to return to Benidorm:
The epicenter of Christmas in Benidorm is the Plaza de SS.MM. Los Reyes de España (Benidorm's Town Hall Square), which will be transformed into the Plaza de la Navidad (Christmas Square) from November 29th to January 6th. This year, a special guest, Gisela—the Spanish singer who lends her voice to songs like "¡Suéltalo!" (Let It Go!) and "Por primera vez en años" (For the First Time in Forever) from the movie Frozen—will be in charge of the Opening Show, followed by the Christmas Lights Switch-On, which will begin on Saturday, November 29th at 7:00 pm.
There you'll find a magical atmosphere that encourages spending long hours with the family enjoying its inflatables and attractions, its ice skating rink, and performances especially geared towards children.
There will be shows and entertainment for children almost every day; you can check all the schedules here.
This year, the spectacular figures of the Three Kings, over 10 meters tall, will delight children and can be found in the Plaza de la Navidad.
The Christmas House will be another favourite place for the children this Christmas. Located in the Casa-Museo de l’Hort de Colón, it will host throughout these Christmas season a multitude of workshops for children, musical concerts, magic shows, storytellers or puppet shows.
29th November at 6:00 PM, the ribbon will be cut to mark the official opening. Do not forget to visit this space dedicated to culture and leisure for the little ones in the house, they will surely want to go every day to have fun with the different programmed activities. Also, on the days leading up to Christmas eve you will receive a surprise visit from Santa Claus!
This Christmas, the Parque de Elche (the palm park located in Benidorm) will become the great Christmas Market. Throughout the entire space there will be numerous stalls or, as they are known in Benidorm, paraetes, where you will find a wide variety of gifts, souvenirs and handicrafts to surprise your loved ones during these dates.
Do not hesitate to visit this Christmas market, because you will surely find some detail for an improvised gift or a typical product that will be worth taking home to share at the table with your loved ones. Who doesn't like authentic Alicante nougat or honey from the nearby Sierra de Guadalest?
In Benidorm there is a long tradition of nativity scenes. You will be able to visit three great nativity scenes from November 29th to January 6th, in different parts of the town. In addition, you can buy your own figurines and other decorations at the Christmas Market.
The first of them is a spectacular monumental nativity scene carried out by the Nativity Scene Association of the Marina Baixa in the lobby of the Town Hall. The second one is the great Benidorm nativity scene on Calle Tomás Ortuño, this nativity scene set up by the ACR La Barqueta has been on display for many years and has become an unmissable event for anyone who spends Christmas in Benidorm; and a third, the one in the Casa de Andalucía, located on calle Mercurio nº 4.
Between the 2nd and 5th of January, the garden in front of the Town Hall will host the 3 wise men camp, where children can go to deliver their letters to the royal pages and meet with their majesties to clarify what they expect to receive on Twelfth Night... If they have behaved themselves!
On this visit you will enjoy as a family the fantastic Christmas atmosphere of the camp that will transport you in the blink of an eye to the Far East. And do not worry! We are in Benidorm and how could it be otherwise, our Kings understand all languages.
The sporting event par excellence of Christmas is, without a doubt, the Carrera San Silvestre Benidorm Christmas Run, a popular and fun race that is held in many cities to say goodbye to the year 2025. It will take place on the 21st of December at 10am.
The San Silvestre benidorm has become a fun date for the whole family rather than a competition, many of the runners carry out the race in fancy dress such as reindeer, Santa Claus or elves and a large audience comes to the race just to enjoy the atmosphere, costumes and, incidentally, animate the runners. Laughter and fun are guaranteed and participation is greater every year thanks to the organization of differentiated tours for all ages and physical conditions. And all this accompanied by a solidarity collection of food for food banks!
To end the year there is no better way than to take stock of what has been lived and to be thankful for all the good times that we have enjoyed during the last 12 months. To do this, at Servigroup Hotels we organize a fantastic New Year's Eve Gala pampered in detail in each of our hotels, with party favours, lucky grapes, a delicious special menu and many more details to make everything unforgettable. Without a doubt, we cannot think of a better alternative to welcome in the new year.
In addition, on the Levante Beach in Benidorm the end of the year is celebrated in the street with the 12 grapes to the sound of the chimes and the party continues until the wee hours of the morning, so it can be a good plan to go out for a walk around the town in the early hours of the year after enjoying a great banquet. The night is young!
On the afternoon of January 5th at 6:00 p.m., Benidorm becomes even more magical with the great procession of the 3 Kings that runs through the main streets and avenues of the town centre. The spectacular parade of floats and dancers starts from Elche Park going up Avenida de los Almendros to later go down Calle Ruzafa until the parade ends at the Plaza de la Navidad and the Julio Iglesias Auditorium, where the Kings meet the children with an endearing and emotional message.
Many of the collectives, associations, cultural entities, and festive groups of Benidorm participate in the procession, which while parading through the streets are throwing candies and gifts to the delight and surprise of the little ones. It is the most exciting day of the whole year!
With the arrival of the month of December, our hotels get into the Christmas spirit by decorating every corner of our hotels, to participate in the window dressing contest that the Benidorm Council organizes to reward those establishments that have decorated their hotels, restaurants or shops with the greatest care and dedication, bringing the spirit of Christmas to all who are lucky enough to witness it.
There are many occasions that we have been awarded for the originality and monumentality of our Christmas productions. Do you dare to discover with what imaginative ideas our hotel receptions will surprise us with this year?
