About the area

The best way to get to Benidorm on the Costa Blanca in south eastern Spain is to fly into Alicante airport which takes around two and a half hours from the UK – then it’s about forty minutes’ drive. Benidorm prides itself as being the first ever package holiday destination – holiday makers have flocked here since the 1960’s and the town averages around ten million visitors each year – it also has almost as many skyscrapers as Spain’s capital Madrid along with a thousand bars and two hundred nightclubs. But if you prefer a more peaceful lifestyle, the surrounding area is home to dozens of pretty towns villages and urbanisations just a short drive from all the action here in town.
