An old fishing village

Benidorm started out as a coastal fishing village, the remains of which can still be seen when wandering through the historic centre and admiring the city’s history and growth. The cobblestoned pedestrian streets of the centre allow visitors to spend a pleasant day in the many shops, ice cream parlours and terraces found in the area. Nearby is the port, the perfecting starting point for walking along the promenade to the lighthouse to enjoy spectacular views.

San Jaime square, also just a few minutes from the port, houses two iconic city landmarks: the Church of San Jaime and Santa Ana, the oldest in the city, and the viewpoint looking out towards Levante beach.

Other areas of the city offer a completely different perspective, with skyscrapers rising up in large numbers making Benidorm, the “New York of the Mediterranean” as it’s commonly known, the second Spanish city with the most skyscrapers after Madrid. Complimentary Wi-Fi is offered at many points in the city, at Poniente and Levante beaches and at the Castle Viewpoint.

Poniente Beach and Levante Beach

Poniente beach where our hotel in Benidorm is located and Levante beach are the most accessible in the city and offer all the necessary services for those looking for a beach holiday in the sun. They combine fine golden sand, transparent waters which are sun-kissed from morning until sunset. Their seafront promenades are dotted with bars, restaurants, ice cream parlours and all kinds of shops to fill up the day. In this respect Levante beach is the livelier of the two.
