WHERE IS BENIDORM SITUATED IN SPAIN?

For people looking into a holiday in Spain, the city of Benidorm is almost always at or near the top of their list of places to visit but many people are unsure of exactly where Benidorm is located in Spain.

This coastal Spanish city has boomed in recent years, largely driven by the tourism industry that brings thousands of visitors to its picturesque shores each year.

But because Benidorm vacations and holidays almost always come as Benidorm package holidays that require no extra planning or local knowledge, many people ask: "where is Benidorm?"

The Geography of Benidorm

This popular tourist-centric city is located on the western Mediterranean coast, a central city in the "Costa Blanca," or White Coast, of Spain.

Benidorm is located in the comarca of Marina Baixa which in itself is located in the larger province of Alicante (Alicante province is situated in the autonomous community of Valencian community).

The town has a permanent population of just over 71,000 people -- making it the fifth-most populous city in Spain's Alicante province.

Benidorm is located approximately 45 kilometers northeast of the city of Alicante, and just south of Altea. It is the central destination on the Costa Blanca, with its dominant skyline sometimes being called the "Manhattan of Spain."

How to Make Your Way to Benidorm

The question of "where is Benidorm?" is quickly followed by a second, and perhaps more important question: how do I get there? What do I need to know, and which method of transportation is the best option?

For tourists heading to Benidorm on a package deal, these details are already taken care of as the flight, hotel, and other details are all part of one agenda. However, those who are going in the bold new direction of managing their Spanish holiday themselves will have to plan accordingly and fly to the appropriate airports.

For travellers making their way to Benidorm, that means booking a flight to Alicante International Airport in the neighbouring city of Alicante, Spain. It's the nearest airport to Spain's most prominent coastal attraction, but it will require travellers to transfer either to a taxi or a bus in order to reach their final destination, this is known as Benidorm airport transfers.

Once travellers have made their way to Alicante International Airport, they can find a taxi to take them to Benidorm; the trip is roughly 40 minutes and relatively inexpensive given the large distance covered between the airport and your eventual hotel. Those who wish to skip the taxi and pay even less can transfer to a bus which leaves the airport around the clock and will take them directly to Benidorm to begin their holiday in the Spanish sun.

Remember that booking a flight without a package deal is always better when done in advance. You'll get better seats, a better arrival time, and lower fares. Additionally, an earlier arrival team means a larger and more frequent number of taxis and buses into Benidorm itself.

In Summary - Where is Benidorm?

Located on the western Mediterranean coast in the heart of the Costa Blanca, Benidorm is an easy flight from most major European cities. Its location in the southern part of Spain means that airports are not always close by, but Alicante International offers travellers the option to take an affordable taxi or a direct bus to their destination.

Now that you've answered the essential question of "where is Benidorm?" it's time to start considering the next important question: package holiday or self-managed getaway to Spain's hottest city?
