Benidorm Travel Facts

Calle Gerona - Benidorm's world-famous 'Strip' is located on a street called Calle Gerona in the New Town. The no.1 place to head!

English Square

Avenida Mallorca - Head up Avenida Mallorca, which dissects Calle Gerona, for a load of big bars on the square.

Check out our complete range of nightlife options above.

Top Places for a Meal Out

In Benidorm, stags can't live on bar crawls alone. A stag army marches on its stomach and needs some tasty grub to fuel you up for those big nights out.

Here are some of our most popular Benidorm meal options:

1) 2-Course Indian Meal

We're talking the whole shebang: poppadums, dips, beer, rice, naans, starters and a banging curry to get you going.

2) 3-Course Italian Meal

If some of the guys are weird and don't like curry, you can't go wrong with a 3-course Italian meal. We're talking pizzas, pastas, and a whole lot more.

3) Strip Dinner

You're in Benidorm on a stag do, you can't go for 'any old dinner'. Take things to the next level and give the groom a true Benidorm send-off with a raunchy strip dinner.

For breakfast options, Cory's Penny Farthing is highly recommended by our Destination Specialist, Simon, but there will be loads of places in and around English Square for you to grab a fry-up.

And if you're looking for traditional Spanish tapas, you should head to the Old Town at the end of Levante Beach (head right if you're looking at the sea).

The Best Time to Go

According to our stats, 71% of our stags who went to Benidorm in 2023 went there between April and June.

These months are popular because you can get away before the school holidays start and the prices rise.

We did have stags going out as early as March and as late as October, though, so don't worry if you aren't going in peak stag season.

You won't really be able to head there outside these times, however, as nothing will be open.

How Long Do People Go For?

66% of our groups going to Benidorm go for 3 nights (4 days).

3 nights is the perfect amount of time as you get two full days without having to travel, so you can experience all that Benidorm has to offer.

You also don't really want to fly somewhere for less than 3.

How Soon Do People Book?

Lads heading to Beni in 2023 booked up their trips 5 months in advance (157 days).

That's a month longer than the average, but remember you need to make sure you secure flights, etc., and the earlier you book, the cheaper they usually are.

It pays to be organised when booking, fella.

Where to Stay in Benidorm

Not every hotel or apartment block in Benidorm will let stags stay.

Don't run the risk of booking solo and getting turned away on arrival (it's happened before!).

Benidorm is a top choice, too, because not only do you get all the classic activities you get everywhere else, but you also get a load of coastal activities you just won't get in a city centre stag.

Things to See in Benidorm

Levante Beach

Nurse those sore heads back to normality and enjoy some rays on Levante Beach.

Poniente Beach

Whilst Levante Beach is the famous beach, Poniente Beach is another gem just to the west of it. It's more than 3 kilometres long and is generally quieter than Levante.

Balcón del Mediterráneo

At the end of Levante Beach, near the Old Town, you'll find a cool platform that stretches out into the sea - a cracking photo opp.

Parc D'Elx

Just on from the Balcón del Mediterráneo is a cool urban park with palm trees and benches - perfect for a hangover-busting stroll.

Benidorm Old Town

Not only will you find some classic drinking spots, but it's a pretty cool throwback to Benidorm's past.

Benidorm Waterpark

Look. You can't go to Benidorm and not hit up Aqualandia water park. That's just a fact. Don't forget to add it to your big weekend.

Terra Mitica Theme Park

If you want to add some adrenaline-pumping action to your big weekend in Benidorm, be sure to secure your tickets to this premier theme park.

Benidorm Island

Located just 3.5 kilometres out into the Mediterranean from Levante Beach is a cracking little island which you can take boat trips out to.

How to Get to Benidorm...

What Airport to Fly To... For those who've never been to Benidorm, you fly to Alicante Airport.

Most UK airports offer flights here, but please check beforehand (you'd be surprised how many people forget to check!).

How Long is the Flight from the UK?

It can take between 2.5-3 hours to get to Alicante Airport from the UK.

Not bad for guaranteed sun and an insane party scene.

Getting from the Airport to Benidorm...

Benidorm is 58 kilometres (36 miles) away from Alicante Airport, and it takes between 45-50 minutes to get there by car.

There are regular buses from the airport to Benidorm that run hourly and cost as little as €7.99.

The main bus stop, Parada d'Autobus, is located on the right-hand side just outside the Arrivals Hall, which is very easy to get to.

A taxi will cost €68-€80 for a standard car, but this would be split between a few of you, so expect to pay between €15-€20 per person.

However, the easiest way to get to Benidorm is through private airport transfers that will be waiting at the airport and will drop you straight at your accommodation.

Just tick the box on your Benidorm stag enquiry and we'll add the option to your free quote.

Tips On Getting Around Benidorm

Walking - Most of Benidorm is easy enough to walk around, but you have options if you need to travel a little bit further.
