Alicante Airport is a great gateway to the Costa Blanca. This sunny coastline is home to Benidorm, one of the biggest and best-loved beach resorts in Spain. Theme parks, pubs and cabaret clubs make it an exciting place all year round. For something more authentic, there’s scenic Calpe and peaceful Albir.

Benidorm has a great climate – very sunny in the summer and still warm in the winter. The weather matches the vibrant feel of the town. Make the most of it at Levante and Poniente, the two biggest Blue Flag beaches.
Benidorm’s Terra Mitica is a top theme park based on the ancient world. You’ll also love the Terra Natura animal park, where you can see tigers, elephants and rhinos up close. You can even cool off at the Aqua Natura waterpark at the same time.
Alicante itself is an atmospheric city well worth exploring. We’re talking cobbled streets filled with lantern-lit tapas bars and a lively after-dark scene by the marina. Make sure you tick off the Museum of Fine Arts and Santa Barbara Castle.
