Beaches and Coastal Resorts

The coastline of the Valencian Community is the main draw for most visitors. Benidorm is undoubtedly the most iconic destination here, famous for its sweeping sandy beaches and vibrant promenade. However, the region offers much more beyond the bustling city centre. Resorts like Gandia provide a different flavour, often favoured for their wide, clean beaches and a slightly more laid-back Spanish atmosphere. Further north, towns like Vinaròs and Alcossebre offer a quieter, more traditional experience, ideal for those who prefer an evening stroll along a local seafront rather than a busy nightclub.

Food and Things to Do

Spanish life revolves around food, and the Valencian Community is no exception. Visitors can expect to find plenty of fresh seafood, locally grown citrus fruits, and the authentic rice dishes for which the region is world-renowned. Days here are typically spent enjoying the Mediterranean climate, whether that means lounging by your hotel pool or heading to the coast for a spot of swimming and watersports.

For those who prefer a little more exploration, wandering through the narrow, cobbled streets of smaller towns such as La Nucia or the area around La Pobla de Farnals provides a wonderful insight into local life. The region is well-equipped for tourists, with infrastructure that makes getting around straightforward and stress-free.

Who Should Visit?

This destination is incredibly versatile. Families love it for the sheer number of kid-friendly hotels, water-based activities, and safe, sandy beaches. Couples, on the other hand, often enjoy the balance of energetic resort life and the ability to escape to quieter, picturesque corners of the coast. Whether you are after a high-energy holiday or a week of pure relaxation under the Spanish sun, the Valencian Community has a resort to suit your requirements.

Getting There and When to Go

With frequent flights departing from Manchester and Liverpool, getting to the Valencian Community is remarkably easy. The region enjoys a mild climate for much of the year, making it a great choice for a spring or autumn getaway, as well as the height of the summer season. If you prefer to avoid the peak heat and crowds, May, June, and September are particularly pleasant times to visit.
