The historic, lively and attractive coastal town of Benidorm on the east coast of Spain is the perfect destination for sun, entertainment and relaxation. A Benidorm villa offers the perfect base for enjoying a holiday in the province of Alicante, which enjoys a Mediterranean climate throughout the year due to its surrounding hills. Although the region is known for its nightlife there are many hidden treasures that can be discovered from Benidorm villas such as its historic Old Town. A variety of theme parks and wildlife centres also provide exciting days out for children and adults alike.
Villas in Benidorm can be found in all four areas of the town, which are known as Levante, Rincon de Loix, Poniente and La Cala, and the Old Town. The most historic and picturesque architecture can be found in the centre of the resort, where the Old Town lies. Cobbled winding streets, white washed houses and the blue domes of the Iglesia de San Jaime church make the Old Town an idyllic place for a day of sightseeing whilst staying at a Benidorm villa. A spectacular view can be enjoyed from the Balcon Del Mediterraneo which overlooks the unspoilt Levante and Poniente beaches.
Moving east you will find the lively Levante which is home to most of Benidorm’s nightclubs and bars. During a holiday at a Benidorm villa you must visit Levante to see one of the many shows performed there, as you are sure to have many hours of fun. The variety of entertainment available in Benidorm ranges from cabaret to live music and comedy acts. Beach lovers often choose Benidorm villas in the Levante area as they are close to its popular beach that has been awarded Blue Flag status due to its good facilities and clean sea. There are a variety of water-sports available as well as a selection of playgrounds for children and even a Biblioplaya – a library on the sand. Also be sure to stroll along the beach during your stay in a Benidorm villa to look at the intricate sand sculptures that adorn it. They are in a variety of shapes and sizes, raging from animals to a scene from the Last Supper, creating talking points and photograph opportunities.
The Poniente region of Benidorm stretches west from the harbour in the Old Town to La Cala de Finestrat. Here you will find a quieter atmosphere than in Levante, making it perfect if you are seeking a Benidorm villa for a quiet and relaxing holiday. When you visit the new Poniente promenade you will be treated to a spectacular sea view along the length of the beach. The promenade also has wooden decking that offers access to disabled tourists. The beach is a fantastic setting with clusters of palm trees and volleyball courts for people seeking the chance to enjoy some activities. A variety of cafés line the seafront, offering refreshment and the chance to enjoy the tranquil scenery of the coast while staying in a villa in Benidorm.
The newest part of the town, Rincon de Loix, is situtated next to the Levante area. Days here can be spent enjoying the soft sands at the end of Levante beach, where people staying in a Benidorm villa can enjoy the exhilarating cable-ski which reaches speeds of nearly 60 kilometres per hour. There is also scuba diving equipment for hire and plenty of sun loungers, making the area a popular place for many people staying in a Benidorm villa. Rincon de Loix is also home to the renowned club Benidorm Palace, where you can see extravagant Showtime performances that burst with life, colour and glamour.
If you are an adrenaline seeker staying at a Benidorm villa be sure not to miss out on visiting the Terra Mitica Fun Park – Europe’s largest theme park. The five different areas of rides range from gentle, child friendly experiences to thrilling, white knuckle rollercoasters. You should also make a splash at the fantastic Aqualandia water park where you can enjoy a variety of rapids and lagoon waterfalls. During a stay in a villa in Benidorm we suggest making time in your holiday for some of the town’s wildlife attractions. At Mundomar you can see a variety of birds and mammals including dolphins, penguins, sea lions and parrots. For larger animals like tigers, elephants and lions visit the Aitana Safari Park, which is only around 33 miles away from most Benidorm villas.
