Benidorm Hotels

Alighting from your flight to Alicante, Spain, you can take a taxi cab to the Costa Blanca North Center. You should aim to visit the adjacent coastal towns and cities of Villajoyosa, Calpe, Benidorm and Altea. The Costa Blanca, translated as the White Coast, has been a tourist destination not only for Spaniards and Europeans but it has become well renowned across the globe. Every tourist who has been to this destination has his own story to tell about the Costa Blanca or about any of the clustered coastal towns, most of which used to be old fishing villages. Your first stop is in one of the Benidorm Hotels where you will be staying for the duration of your well earned holiday.

The Costa Blanca’s popularity emanates much from its good climate and because of the Mediterranean Sea. Every summer, millions of tourists come to the Costa Blanca with an ultimate desire to explore the many coastline towns, head into the surrounding mountain ranges, enjoy the entertainment and excellent food that is available, or just relax on the beautiful white sandy beaches. Today, many of the towns that dot the Costa Blanca are developed tourist destinations.

Benidorm has been famous for its excellent nightlife and all day entertainment, it is also famous for the many different and cheap hotel accommodations that are available throughout the year. Its magic drew too many investors to build equally too many hotels – ranging from two stars to five stars. But this gives you a lot of scope for accommodation during your stay, dependent upon your budget. The choice of location is immaterial as most of Benidorm hotels are situated along the beautiful coastline.

Benidorm has been dubbed as the Manhattan of Spain because of the spectacular hotels – in number, in height and in architectural designs, mostly because the skyline resembles that of Manhattan. The city itself has two popular beaches – the Poniente and Levante. Its nightlife is very different – actually being from dusk to dawn. The whole family will enjoy the theme parks – Aqualandia is a water park, Mundomar features sea creatures and Terra Mitica gives a glimpse of ancient cultures of Egypt, Rome and Iberia.

You can have a dip at the la Roda beach or you may opt for either Cap Blanc or Cap Negret. The town center of Altea boasts of the cobbled streets lined with white washed buildings. A foot trip along the streets will bring you to its landmark – the blue domed church of Nuestra Senora del Consuelo. Moving up, you will land in a square on top of the hill for a panoramic view of the bay of Altea.

Calpe is about thirteen kilometers away from Benidorm, a short travel from Altea. This place is described as Benidorm sin the madding crowd, meaning it is quieter here and the beach is more suitable for little ones. It has a gentle slope to the water.
