The Costa Blanca is the stretch of Spanish coast that has welcomed British holidaymakers for decades, and the area around Benidorm sits right at its heart. Warm seas, golden sand and a friendly, easy pace make it a dependable choice for families and couples alike.

It is the sort of place where you can do as much or as little as you fancy, from lazy beach days to lively evenings out.

Where to stay on the Costa Blanca

The Magic Pirates Island Resort is a themed four-star family resort on the Costa Blanca in Benidorm, geared towards keeping children happy while parents unwind.

Getting there and when to go

The Costa Blanca is well served by flights from across the UK, with short transfers once you land. The climate is mild and sunny for much of the year, so you can visit in the height of summer for full-on heat or in spring and autumn for something calmer and cooler.

Beaches and resorts

The Costa Blanca is known for its broad, sandy beaches and clear, gently shelving water. The bays around Benidorm offer plenty of room for sunbathing, swimming and watersports, backed by a long seafront promenade that is lovely for an evening stroll.

Food and things to do

Eating out ranges from familiar British favourites to local Spanish tapas and fresh fish. Beyond the beach there are theme parks, coastal boat trips and a lively entertainment scene, so families and groups are well catered for.

Who it suits

This part of the Costa Blanca suits families wanting value and entertainment on tap, couples after sunshine, and groups looking for a sociable break. It is busy and cheerful rather than secluded, which is exactly what many UK visitors want.
