Holidays to the Costa Blanca are all about fun in the sun. Its very name, the ' White Coast', gives you a flavour of what awaits you - mile upon mile of enticing white sands. You can almost imagine yourself there, sinking your toes into the soft grains of sand with the warm Spanish sun beating down on you. Bliss.
It perhaps comes as no surprise that Benidorm is still far and away the most popular holiday resort. For years now it's been the hotspot for cheap holidays to the Costa Blanca. A British favourite, it's offers up everything you could possibly need for a beach break. Restaurants and cafes. Pubs and bars. Karaoke and discos. You name it, it's got it.
Looks-wise, Benidorm evokes memories of the Manhattan skyline, all skyscrapers and soaring towers. As such, there's plenty in the way of accommodation. Thomson favourites include the Hotel Sol Pelicanos/Ocas, the Hotel Venus, the Hotel Flamingo Oasis and the Hotel Rio Park. For self catering holidays in Benidorm, the Flamingo Playa Apartments are a great choice. And if you're thinking about luxury breaks in Benidorm, the 5T Hotel Don Pancho really hits the mark.
But there's more to the Costa Blanca than just Benidorm. There's Alicante for starters. And we don't mean the airport. The city of Alicante is gorgeous. The old town is all whitewashed narrow streets. The marina is chic and trendy. And its long sweep of golden sand is backed by an imposing fortress.
Benidorm is the resort that it all, and is still leading the way. Benidorm's skyline is an impressive sight, especially as you get towards the Levante Beach area of Benidorm.
Package holidays to Benidorm can be anything you want them to be, even the 4 kilometres of sandy beaches can adapt to your moods. If you are looking for a young and lively holiday, then head to Levante Beach, if you want it laid back and restful then head to the area known as Poniente, as the clean waters and soft sand are enough for anyone to relax.
Benidorm's Old Town still charms, and even more so because there are many ultra-modern malls and neon lit bars and restaurants, also there is a selection of craft shops and small boutiques.
Benidorm really is the ultimate Costa Blanca Resort, and it extends its welcome all year round, Nightlife is very high on the agenda of many customers travelling to Benidorm as it offers many of Spain's best cabaret bars, to some of the continents biggest and best night clubs.
Benidorm really suits people of all ages as there are so many things to keep people entertained.
