Costa Blanca Holidays
Includes mandatory fees and taxes
Sundeals bookings are covered by ATOL protection to give you clear, UK-backed protection from the moment you book.
We sell traditional package holidays. Your holiday can include everything, or you can leave off things like checked bags or transfers to keep the price lower. Either way, your holiday still counts as a package – and that means it’s protected.
ATOL protection means:
Your money is protected if the travel company stops trading
You will not be left out of pocket if something goes wrong
If you are already abroad, arrangements will be made to get you home
You will receive an ATOL Certificate when you book, which confirms what is protected and who to contact if there is a problem. You can also read more about ATOL protection on the Civil Aviation Authority website (opens in new tab).

The Costa Blanca – or ‘White Coast’ – stretches for over 200 kilometres along Spain’s southeast shore. It’s been a goto for UK travellers for decades, and it’s easy to see why. You’ve got reliable sunshine, plenty of choice and a mix of resorts that suit different budgets. Peak heat lands in July and August, while May, June and September are a good balance if you want warm weather without the busiest crowds.
There’s a wide mix of places to stay, depending on how you like to spend your time. Benidorm is the best-known, with big beaches and a lively feel, while Alicante offers more of a city break by the coast. It’s a good destination if you want flexibility without needing to travel far between resorts.
While some parts of Costa Blanca are geared around busy beachfronts and nightlife, there’s still plenty of traditional Spain if you know where to look. Inland towns and smaller coastal spots trade high-rise hotels for cobbled streets, local markets and slower evenings. Denia and Altea are good examples, with a more relaxed pace and a focus on local food.
Find out where you want to base yourself from these top resorts.
Benidorm is the Costa Blanca’s most famous resort, and it’s set up to make things easy. You’ve got long, sandy beaches like Levante and Poniente, a wide choice of hotels and plenty going on day and night. It suits families, groups and anyone who wants everything in one place, though some areas can be busy in peak season.
Alicante works well if you want a mix of beach and city. There’s a historic Old Town, a marina lined with restaurants and a long stretch of sand at Playa de San Juan. It’s also the easiest option for shorter breaks, with the airport nearby and good transport links along the coast.
Choose Altea for a quieter alternative with a more traditional feel. Its Old Town sits on a hill, with whitewashed streets and sea views, while the coastline below is made up of pebbled beaches and laidback bars. It’s a good option if you prefer a slower pace and less nightlife.
Sitting between Benidorm and Altea, Albir offers a calmer base without being too far from busier areas. The beach is pebbly rather than sandy, but the promenade is easy to get around, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés. It suits couples and travellers looking for a quieter stay with the option to visit nearby resorts.
Calpe is known for the Peñón de Ifach rock, which dominates the coastline. You’ll find a mix of sandy beaches, a working fishing port and plenty of seafood restaurants. It’s a balanced option – livelier than Altea or Albir, but generally more relaxed than Benidorm.

Here are some top tips from our team
"For a day away from the beach, head to Terra Mítica park in Benidorm. Just outside the main resort, this huge theme park takes you on a journey through the ancient worlds of Egypt, Greece and Rome, with loads of statues and themed attractions. There are loads of rides for all ages, so it makes a great family day out". – Isabel Brown
If you’re looking to step away from the busiest resorts, heading inland to places like Guadalest gives you mountain views and a slower pace than the coast, while Altea’s Old Town offers whitewashed streets and a calmer atmosphere without the crowds. You can also walk sections of the coastal paths around Javea for sea views without needing to share the space with packed beaches.
There are plenty of simple ways to fill your time without spending much. An evening stroll along Alicante’s Explanada de España is one of the easiest, especially when it’s at its liveliest, while Santa Bárbara Castle is a good spot for sunset views over the city.

Read nowPrebooking a transfer is usually the simplest option, especially if you’re heading to Benidorm or Torrevieja. Journey times are generally under an hour, depending on traffic. You can also take a bus into Alicante city and connect from there or use taxis outside the terminal if you prefer a direct route.
Some restaurants may bring bread or small snacks to the table and charge for them, even if you didn’t ask. It’s also common to pay a small amount for water or service. And while tipping isn’t required, rounding up the bill or leaving a small amount is appreciated.
Main resorts like Benidorm and Alicante are generally easy to navigate, with flat promenades and accessible beaches. Smaller towns, especially those with historic centres, may have slopes or cobbled streets, so it’s worth checking accommodation location before booking.
Public transport is straightforward in most areas – trams run along parts of the coast from Alicante, and there are regular bus routes between larger towns. Taxis are also widely available, but costs can add up if you’re travelling frequently, so it’s worth planning ahead.
