Discover Benidorm: Coast, Culture and Leisure
Accommodation in Benidorm
Playa de Levante has more than two kilometres of fine, golden sand. Playa de Poniente is three kilometres long. Comparing the lengths of the two beaches provides a straightforward reference point for planning your own trip. The coastal cliffs of the Serra Gelada are more than 300 metres high.

Coast
Benidorm has three accessible beach points: one at Playa de Levante on C/ Murcia, and two at Playa de Poniente on Av. Mont Benidorm and in Elche Park. If this aspect is important to you, you can include the three specifically named locations individually in your planning. The different location details help distinguish the points from one another and explore the coast in greater detail.
Culture and History
The Castellum of Tossal de la Cala is a Roman fortification dating from the 1st century BC. Its date and function provide two objective criteria for placing the site in its historical and contextual setting. The Castellum of Tossal de la Cala has been converted into a museum and furnished with six explanatory panels in Spanish, Valencian and English. You can take the trilingual panels into account when preparing your visit if the comprehensibility of the explanations is important. Prior appointment is required for a guided tour of Casa Museo L'Hort de Colón. As an activity requiring advance planning, this visit can be considered separately from spontaneous programme items.
Leisure
Benidorm hosts several festivals throughout the year. Terra Mítica is a theme park where visitors can discover the ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean. Mundomar is a park with exotic animals, a dolphinarium and spectacular shows. The different types of activities can be set alongside one another when planning your day. You can distinguish between scheduling, the ancient cultural theme and the park offerings. This perspective brings order to a travel plan in which not every day has to have the same focus.
When planning your days, you can weigh the topics separately: the coast and landscape alongside historical context, multilingual interpretation, scheduled appointments, festivals and different park offerings. This allows you to plan days with different focuses side by side, without combining the places, events and activities into a single programme. The number of bus routes also remains a separate mobility aspect.
When selecting a holiday apartment in Benidorm, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions can be considered separately. These accommodation details stand alongside the local topics without replacing them. This allows you to weigh your own requirements and the destination’s different highlights independently before deciding on the right combination for your trip.
Other places in this selection: La Torre de les Maçanes, Ontilles, Banyeres De Mariola, Onil, La Canalosa, Dolores, Arneva and Benissa.
When planning further, the number of bus routes can be noted as a separate mobility aspect. Llorente Bus serves Benidorm with 18 routes.
