Holidays to Costa Blanca

On Costa Blanca holidays, you get to lounge on some of Spain’s best beaches, relax at top resorts and party in buzzing bars. And they’re easy on the wallet, too!

Fly ‘n’ flop

Costa Blanca holidays are all about the beaches. Kick back in the sunshine, cool off in the Med and catch up on some R&R – preferably horizontal, under a parasol, with a cold one within arm’s reach.

Playa de San Juan in Alicante is one of the biggest beaches in the area – a gorgeous sandy stretch perfect for swimming, sunbathing and surfing. You’ll also find plenty of beachside bars here for keeping hydrated. It’s hard work being on holiday and all.

Benidorm bangers

Benidorm’s reputation as a European party capital is well deserved. From multi-floor clubs and sports bars to karaoke venues and classic British pubs, it’s got it all.

Kick off a night out in the old town with sangria and tapas for a bit of Spanish authenticity, then move on to chilled-out drinks at a beachfront bar. If you’re in the mood to go out out, hit up bouncing venues like the aptly named Insomnia Benidorm Nightclub.

History and culture

Should you crave a little cultural nourishment on your hols, swing by Museo Arqueológico de Alicante for a deep dive into the area’s history or hike up to the hilltop Castillo de Santa Bárbara for epic Alicante views from the chunky fortress walls.

Festivals are big on the White Coast too. One of the biggest is the Bonfires of San Juan in Alicante, which celebrates the arrival of summer with parades, daytime firework displays and artistic bonfires.

Rice, rice baby

There’s so much good grub local to Costa Blanca, but you’re seriously spoilt for choice if you’re partial to a bit of rice. There are loads of rice-based dishes to choose from here!

Given the seaside setting, it’s no surprise that seafood features in many a rice dish. Try arroz a banda, which is rice cooked with fish stock, and often topped with something from the sea. Simple but tasty!
