A Culture Filled Break In Benidorm, Yes Really!

When many people think of Benidorm, they immediately think of the successful ITV

program that has satirised the traditional view of this Spanish resort. The popularity of the television programme has actually increased the tourism levels within the country however it seems that many are travelling there to simply enjoy what they see on their screens. Benidorm offers much more than the all-inclusive package resort that the residents of the Solaris hotel take advantage of!

Many people are not aware that Benidorm offers a rich cultural heritage and has even been considered as a contender for UNESCO World Heritage status. The Benidorm landscape has been transformed into an idyllic, cosmopolitan resort that offers something for everyone. The Benidorm tourist board are putting all their efforts into attracting first time visitors to the resort, hoping that one Benidorm experience will make it hard to resist coming back!

The two five star rated hotels within the resort offer an added dose of luxury to a Benidorm holiday. Along with the high quality accommodation, there are also fantastic golf courses and spa facilities to help you relax and unwind during your stay. Just a ten minute drive away from Benidorm beach tourists will find the new five star resorts. The Villaitana boasts two golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and a contemporary health spa. The second hotel is the Barcelo Asia Cardens, a serene eastern inspired retreat.

The famous Benidorm beach has also had a facelift, with contemporary architectural features including a curving wall that stretches the length of the beach. One thing that has remained constant within the resort is the legendary nightlife; there is a wide selection of bars and nightclubs that cater for all clientele. Whether you want a raucous night in a karaoke bar or simply want to enjoy a quiet drink by the waterside, you are guaranteed to find your ideal evening entertainment. Many of the nightclubs stay open until the early hours, perfect for those wanting an exciting experience.

Benidorm has gained a reputation in the past for its tacky, dated hotels and crowds of 'lager louts' that appear to descend on the resort every year. However this reputation is swiftly being replaced with one that offers a cosmopolitan holiday experience along with all of the traditional tourist features. The ITV sitcom may have brought tourists into the resorts but it is the stunning scenery and modern features that will eventually bring tourists back year after year.
