Levante Beach & the Old Town

A resort of two halves: a Blue Flag beach and a traditional old town.

Where better to start than Nigel's home. Benidorm went from a sleepy fishing village to one of the most iconic resorts on the Costa Blanca, and it's a resort of two halves.

On one side is the Old Town, with a more traditional Spanish feel: streets full of tapas restaurants, historic churches and old architecture. It's also where you'll find Colliers, the bar Nigel has worked in for many years, where he has met so many wonderful people and made friends for life.

On the other side is Levante, the big urban beach that most people think of as Benidorm.

Levante Beach in numbers

A vast stretch of fine golden sand lapped by calm Mediterranean water, with a lively promenade of restaurants and entertainment running alongside. Thanks to the way it faces, you can enjoy the sun well into the evening.
