Benidorm – Beachfront Living, High Energy & Skyscraper Sunsets
Benidorm is Spain's most famous coastal city—a vibrant combination of golden beaches, international entertainment, and high-rise living. Having grown from humble origins as a quaint fishing village, Benidorm has become a sun-drenched hot spot for international vacationers, investors, and modern residents seeking excitement, convenience, and a year-round holiday lifestyle.
At Serneholt Estate, we don't see Benidorm as just a tourist destination, but as a vibrant coastal city full of opportunity, lifestyle, and sun-soaked living.

Location & Lifestyle: Where Is Benidorm?
Benidorm is located on the Costa Blanca, just 40 minutes from Alicante Airport and perfectly positioned between Altea and Villajoyosa. It's renowned for its skyline of modern towers, wide sandy beaches, and action-packed lifestyle—but there's another, quieter, residential side tucked away in the hills and coastline surrounding it.
From its lively Levante Beach to the more laid-back Poniente side and charming Old Town, Benidorm is a city of contrasts: perfect for tourists, retirees, digital nomads, and investors alike.
Dining: International Flavours by the Sea
Benidorm is a foodie paradise with a truly international cuisine scene. From traditional Spanish tapas and seafood paellas to British roasts, Asian fusion, and vegan cafes, all palates are catered to here.
The Old Town has traditional pintxo bars and family eateries, while the newer parts have trendy rooftop restaurants and all-day brunch spots. For fine dining and seafood, the Poniente promenade and Benidorm marina are must-visits.
Shopping: City-Style Convenience by the Coast
Benidorm is home to some of the Costa Blanca's finest shopping. From traditional markets and souvenir shops to high-street fashion, sports gear, and homeware, there's something for everyone.
The La Marina Shopping Centre in Finestrat has brand names, electronics shops, and a cinema. There are weekly outdoor markets for local colour and fresh food, and the Old Town contains one-off boutiques and craft shops for individual purchases.
Healthcare: Near and of a High Standard
Benidorm has top-notch healthcare, both private and public. Hospital Clínica Benidorm and IMED Levante offer international-standard facilities with multilingual staff, fast access to specialists, and modern equipment.
Late-night and ubiquitous pharmacies, along with private insurance schemes, are well provided for by the network of healthcare.

Education: Something for Every Family
Benidorm caters to families with numerous Spanish state schools, bilingual semi-private schools, and international schools in the area like Costa Blanca International College and Sierra Bernia School, which are easily accessible.
Nurseries and Montessori-style schools for smaller children are all nearby, so Benidorm is quite family-friendly, surprisingly.
Sports & Outdoor Living: Active Days by the Sea
Benidorm is set up for an active life. There are countless gyms, padel and tennis clubs, local golf courses, and a beachfront perfect for jogging, rollerblading, or sunrise yoga.
The surrounding mountains and cliffs offer hiking and cycling routes with dramatic views. Water sports like jet-skiing, kayaking, parasailing, and scuba diving are also hugely popular—and accessible right from the beach.

Family Life: Fun-Filled, Secure, and Exciting
Benidorm is ideal for families who like to have entertainment, activities, and services at their doorstep. It boasts water parks, theme parks, kids' clubs, cinemas, and beaches with lifeguards and safe play areas.
Residential suburbs a short distance from the town centre—like Rincón de Loix or Finestrat—offer low-traffic roads, open spaces, and stylish properties with pools and sea views.
