Your stay in Benidorm

Hotels:

We’re going to recommend a few hotels, including some for which we have promotional codes. Mainly for guests coming from out of town, and for us as the bride and groom, we have reserved some rooms at this hotel:

  • Hotel Mercure (recomended): If you stay at this hotel, you’ll be able to have breakfast with us the day after the wedding. If you’re travelling from far away and would like to book this hotel, please contact us or book directly through their website. We’ll also try to make sure the return bus from the wedding stops at this hotel.

What to do around?

The Valencia region is known for its beaches, Mediterranean climate, rich historical heritage, paella, and so much more to enjoy. We will keep updating the list below.

Beaches

In Benidorm and the Alicante region in general, you’ll find wonderful beaches. Around the time of the wedding, it will still be warm enough during the day, so don’t forget to bring your swimsuit. You can enjoy clean waters, long sandy beaches, and also quieter coves.

Some recommended areas:

  • Levante Beach and Poniente Beach (Benidorm)

  • Altea and El Albir
