Benidorm is situated in a privileged position on the Costa Blanca, just south of the other popular resorts of Altea and Javea and northeast of Alicante. It is jealously guarded by the Sierra de Aitana mountain range which protects it from the sometimes inclement cold north winds of winter providing a mild climate even in through the colder months.

Benidorm of course is mostly know as one of Spain's top tourist destinations, tourism here developed in the 1960s and has long been a favourite destination by most Europeans including the Spanish National market ever since. You may be forgiven in thinking that Benidorm offers little more than hotels, British pubs and discos however this is far from the case. Benidorm really does offer just about everything you could hope for in a family holiday.

Benidorms hotels provide over 35,000 beds with thousands more being provided by Apartments and other holiday units. There around 1000 restaurants to choose from and some 30 discotheques.
