Head to hotels in Benidorm for winter sun breaks

Despite the town's reputation for being a more downmarket destination, people staying in hotels in Benidorm will find it actually has a lot on offer - and that this is far more than just beaches. It is also a favourite holiday location for the Spanish themselves, which is indicative of the quality attractions it is home to.

With some three miles of beaches, visitors will certainly be able to enjoy stretching out on the sand and soaking up the sun. However, if you are more interested in being active you will find that almost all of the beaches in the area offer a range of water sports facilities. So, you can indulge in scuba diving excursions, learn to water ski, or even just enjoy a bit of snorkelling.

Those keen to see some of the Mediterranean's beautiful marine life - as well as enjoy coastal views of the town - can take a glass-bottomed boat trip. These run regularly and are a firm favourite of visitors keen to do something special on their break.

Meanwhile, if you want to take a dip in exotic surroundings, why not take a trip out to Algar Falls? Here you can bathe in the water next to the waterfall, as well as have a refreshing drink at a nearby bar.

And if you really can't get enough of the water - or if you're travelling with children - you can head to Aqualand Water Amusement Park, conveniently located quite centrally. Here you will be able to swim, as well as enjoying thrilling rapids and slides. There is also a good selection of restaurants and cafes for any adults who would prefer to watch or simply enjoy a drink in the shade.

However, if you like to stay dry when visiting amusement parks, you can spend a day at Terra Mitica. Also located centrally, it is a favourite theme park in the area and is the perfect day out for energetic youngsters.

Those keen to see some more traditional Spanish culture during their stay in hotels in the area can head over to the old town. Alongside its quieter, more peaceful side there is also still a good range of bars and shops which you can frequent during your exploration.

Of course, it is highly likely that you will want to sample some of the town's famous nightlife. With a staggering range of bars, clubs and restaurants, you will have no shortage of new places to try each night - and you are certain to find entertainment enough to keep you occupied until the morning.

Those looking for quieter activities can make use of the town's many golf courses, which boast good facilities in attractive scenery.
