Costa Blanca Holidays

Includes mandatory fees and taxes

A coastline that’s easy to enjoy

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. 

Resorts that cover all bases

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. 

More than just the main strip

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.

Costa Blanca FAQs

Prebooking 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.
