What comes to mind when I say “sun holiday”? Lounging by the pool with a cocktail, quaint little restaurants in the old town, or walks on the beach at sunset? Whatever it is, you can find it in Benidorm. Though it has something of a reputation for expat bars, all day fry-ups and all-inclusive tower blocks, there’s something for everyone here, with some of the most luxurious hotels in the region. The stretch from Alicante Airport to Benidorm is one of the most beautiful coastal landscapes in the world, and once you’re there, the friendly locals will do their best to make every couple’s holiday special. The local seafood is spectacular, the sights from Placa del Castell overlooking the old town can be jaw-dropping. Here are some of our favourite places to stay. Port Benidorm Hotel & Spa (4* Sup) Rated particularly high with couples (9.1 on Booking.com), and 150m from Levante Beach, this clean, modern hotel has everything from a solarium, sports area and – as you’d expect – a spacious garden area and outdoor pool, along with daily activities and excursions. Plus, the hotel boasts of its soundproofing system, which should ensure a relaxing stay. Port Fiesta Park (3*) 600m from Loniente Beach, this hotel boasts a great location if you want to sample the local nightlife, and all the mod cons you’d expect from bar and buffet restaurant to games room with billiards and darts, all at a great price.

Medplaya Hotel Agir (4*) Known for their great staff and boutique style, and featuring a Turkish Bath, wooden relaxation deck and on-site massage facilities, this hotel is the perfect place to be pampered and taken care of.
