1. Make a splash at Aqualandia

   One of Spain's original water parks, Aqualandia has been thrilling families since 1985 and remains one of the best on the Costa Blanca. Expect towering slides, lazy rivers and gentle splash zones for little ones, all within easy reach of the town's apartments.

2. Go bar-hopping in the Old Town

   There's nothing more Spanish than a night of tapas. Pace yourself - bars are open late, so there's no need to rush. Head to Calle Santo Domingo in the Old Town for Benidorm's best tapas, enjoying a plate or two at each bar before moving on.

3. Ride the rollercoasters at Terra Mítica

   For a hit of adrenaline, Terra Mítica is Benidorm's big theme park, themed around the ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean. Its five zones are packed with rollercoasters, water rides and gentler attractions for younger visitors. If you're touring more of the region, the villas in Moraira put you within easy reach of further Costa Blanca days out.

4. Soak up the views from the Balcón del Mediterráneo

   Perched on the headland that divides the two main beaches, the Balcón del Mediterráneo is Benidorm's most famous viewpoint. The short walk up is rewarded with sweeping views over Levante and Poniente beaches and out across the sea. It's especially lovely at sunset, when the bay and the town's lights begin to twinkle.

5. Spend a lazy day on Levante Beach

   Levante Beach is the heart of Benidorm's seafront, a long sweep of golden sand backed by a buzzing promenade of bars and cafés. The gentle waves make it ideal for swimming with children, whilst the western end has rocky pockets that are good for a spot of snorkelling.

6. Hike up to La Cruz de Benidorm

   You might not think of Benidorm as a hotspot for hiking, but that's because you haven't visited the Serra Gelada Natural Park yet. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to tackle the route up to this hilltop cross, which takes about 45 minutes to walk from Levante Beach. Longer, tougher trails are also accessible to dedicated hikers.

7. Stroll through Aigüera Park

   When you fancy a slower pace, the Parque de l'Aigüera is a leafy linear park running through the centre of town. Designed by the architect Ricardo Bofill, its elegant avenues, fountains and open-air amphitheatre make a pleasant spot for a gentle walk or a picnic.
