Benidorm

Local Information

Benidorm has all the attractions of a large scale resort with five million visitors a year. Benidorm attracts visitors from all over Europe and is an extremely family orientated resort with something for everyone. In fact the most common language you'll hear as you wander the streets is Spanish as the resort caters well for its own people.



The old church of San Jaime is an ideal spot from which to describe the geography of Benidorm as it is the heart of the old town which splits the resort into two parts.

To the north is Playa Levante, a 2km long beach of golden sand with restricted traffic access along the promenade and the livelier of the resort's two main beaches.

To the south of the old town is Playa Poniente which is 3km in length, also has golden sand but is narrower with far fewer hotels and a road separating them from the beach.
