Benidorm, a Sustainable Paradise Full of Charming Spots

Although for a long time it has been known for its tall buildings and as a unique tourist destination in the Mediterranean, Benidorm is no longer just sun, beaches and skyscrapers. The city is also an example of how to reinvent itself by embracing sustainability without losing its essence. This gem of the Costa Blanca has managed to balance its vibrant tourism with environmental respect, becoming a destination that captivates not only through its landscapes but also through its commitment to the planet. It is now internationally recognised as one of the most sustainable destinations, boasting some of the cleanest air, beaches, and waters in Europe.

Benidorm is brimming with charming spots you simply cannot miss if your aim is to enjoy active tourism and discover truly unique places. Here are just a few highlights:

The Serra Gelada Natural Park:

A protected area where you can hike along cliffs that merge with the sea, discover native flora and fauna, and if you’re lucky, spot dolphins. It’s the perfect plan, especially for sunrise or sunset walks.

Cala del Tío Ximo:

Tucked away within the natural park, this small, secluded cove between cliffs is the ideal spot to unwind and snorkel in crystal-clear waters.

El Castell Viewpoint or Mediterranean Balcony:

An iconic location offering breathtaking views of where Benidorm’s two main beaches meet — one of the most photogenic sights on the entire Spanish Levante.

Benidorm Island: 

Just a few minutes away by boat, this tiny island is a natural haven for seabirds and a popular destination for diving enthusiasts.

The Green Skyscraper Route:

 An urban tour showcasing the city’s commitment to bioclimatic architecture and the use of renewable energy.

And if you’re still craving more, Benidorm invites you to experience countless magical moments:

Watch the sunrise from Benidorm Cross, as the sea slowly awakens before your eyes; enjoy a moonlit stroll along Poniente Beach, with the gentle sound of waves and the city lights as your backdrop; sip a cocktail while watching the sun set from one of the city’s trendy rooftop bars; or treat yourself to an elegant evening at Benidorm Palace, one of Europe’s most iconic and acclaimed cabaret venues, where you can savour a gourmet dinner and enjoy a dazzling show.
