The Best Things to Do in Benidorm — A 2026 Local Guide

Benidorm is far more than its famous beaches. Between the Costa Blanca coastline and the mountains behind the city there's a whole week of adventure waiting. These are the experiences we recommend most to our guests.

Explore the mountains by buggy or quad

The quickest way to swap the crowds for panoramic ridge-top views is behind the wheel of a buggy or quad. Guided routes climb into the hills above Benidorm for sweeping views over the bay, and no off-road experience is needed — the vehicles are automatic and easy to drive.

Chase the Algar Waterfalls

Just 30 minutes inland, the Fuentes del Algar are a chain of turquoise pools and falls that are perfect for a summer swim. Reaching them on an off-road tour turns the journey itself into the highlight of the day.

Old Town, beaches and the Balcón del Mediterráneo

Wander the tapas bars of Benidorm's Old Town, then walk out to the Balcón del Mediterráneo — the lookout between Levante and Poniente beaches with one of the best views on the coast.

When to go and how to get around

Benidorm is a year-round destination, but spring and early autumn give you the best mix of warm weather and thinner crowds. A rental buggy, quad or e-bike is the most fun way to reach the viewpoints and coves the tour buses skip.
