If you’ve only got two or three days to enjoy Benidorm, don’t worry – this seaside city in Alicante is designed for an action-packed stay full of unforgettable moments. Known as the “New York of the Mediterranean”, Benidorm has something for everyone: golden beaches, great food, buzzing nightlife and a surprising dose of nature. Here’s a weekend plan so you don’t waste a minute and can squeeze the very best out of your trip.
Start your getaway with a proper breakfast at your Servigroup hotel. If you’re staying at Torre Dorada Hotel, you’ll love the wide-open Poniente Beach, where you can also try out some watersports. If your base is one of our hotels on Levante Beach – one of Spain’s most famous stretches of sand – you’ll find crystal-clear waters and fine golden sand, ideal for paddleboarding or kayaking. Fancy more adrenaline? Rent a jet ski, test your balance on the cable-ski, or dive into the wide choice of water activities on offer.
After lunch, take a stroll along Levante Promenade. The terraces overlooking the sea are perfect for a cold drink or an ice cream. For a calmer vibe, Poniente Beach offers a more laid-back, family-friendly feel. Whichever you choose, make sure you head to the Balcón del Mediterráneo – Benidorm’s most iconic viewpoint – to watch the sunset before sampling the city’s lively nightlife, whether in the Old Town or the buzzing British Square.
Head out on a hike in Sierra Helada, where dramatic cliffs and coastal trails reward you with stunning views. And yes, Benidorm has hidden coves too! Cala del Tío Ximo is a gem where you can cool off after your morning walk and see another side of the city. If you’re travelling with children, however, you might prefer a day at Terra Natura wildlife park or the Aqualandia water park. And for thrill-seekers? Terra Mítica theme park is guaranteed to keep the adrenaline flowing.
Wander through Benidorm’s Old Town with its narrow streets, artisan shops and tapas bars. Don’t miss the Church of San Jaime and Santa Ana, a true local landmark.
Round off the day with a night at Benidorm Palace, often described as “Europe’s best cabaret venue”. Expect dazzling choreography and world-class performances. And here’s a tip: if you’re staying three nights or more at a Servigroup hotel, you’ll get free entry. Yes – free!
If your weekend stretches into Sunday afternoon, make the most of it with a boat trip to Benidorm Island. This little paradise is perfect for snorkelling and spotting marine life – with the city’s skyscraper skyline as your backdrop.
We know a weekend trip is short and sweet, so here are a few practical tips to make things easier:
1. Book early – especially in high season. With Servigroup, the earlier you book, the bigger your discount. We have nine hotels in Benidorm, all strategically located close to beaches, shops and entertainment.
2. Bring sunscreen and comfy shoes – perfect for exploring the winding streets.
3. Pack water shoes if needed – at Rincón de Loix Beach the entry is rocky, so water shoes can come in handy.
4. Don’t forget your camera (or cloud storage) – Benidorm is photogenic from every angle.
Our hotels in Benidorm give you the perfect base to enjoy all this and more. With prime locations, thoughtful services and a team ready to help you plan your activities, your getaway will be truly unforgettable. So… have you decided which one you’ll be staying at?
Do you want to know the most beautiful town in the province of Alicante? If you travel to Benidorm, you will have no excuse to miss it. And it is that less than half an hour from your hotel you can enjoy this little corner of unsurpassed beauty: Guadalest.
The picturesque old town full of attractive museums, a beautiful castle and a spectacular reservoir surrounded by unspoiled nature are just some of the reasons why it will steal your heart. An immense lake with turquoise waters ideal for walking and even taking a bath.
