Beachfront Rentals in Benidorm
Sea view apartments on Levante and Poniente — the Costa Blanca's most iconic beachfront skyline.
Benidorm's Beachfront Appeal
Benidorm is the Costa Blanca's flagship resort, and its beachfront is unlike anything else on this coast. Two sweeping bays — Levante to the east, Poniente to the west — curve around either side of the rocky old town promontory, offering over five kilometres of unbroken golden sand. The skyline of high-rise apartments means that beachfront living here often comes with panoramic views from the 10th, 15th, or even 25th floor.
A beachfront apartment in Benidorm places you directly on one of these two bays. You take the lift down, cross the promenade, and you are on the sand. Many complexes have their own pools, paddle courts, and gardens, but the beach itself becomes your main outdoor space — morning swims, afternoon sun, and evening paseos along the seafront with the rest of the town.
The resort operates year-round. Unlike seasonal villages that close in October, Benidorm keeps its restaurants, shops, and entertainment running through winter. That makes beachfront apartments here popular with both summer holidaymakers and long-stay visitors escaping northern European winters.
The Two Main Beaches
Playa de Levante — The Buzzy Side
Levante Beach is the most famous stretch of sand in Benidorm. Running for two kilometres, it faces east and catches the morning sun from sunrise until mid-afternoon. The beach is backed by a wide pedestrian promenade packed with restaurants, ice cream parlours, and souvenir shops. Water sports operators line the beach offering jet skis, parasailing, and banana boats. Nightlife is concentrated in the streets behind Levante, so beachfront apartments here suit visitors who want energy and entertainment on their doorstep. The beach has Blue Flag status, lifeguards year-round, and excellent disabled access.
Playa de Poniente — The Family-Friendly Side
Poniente stretches for over three kilometres to the west of the old town headland. It is wider than Levante, generally less crowded, and catches the afternoon and sunset light. The modern promenade was redesigned by architect Carlos Ferrater and features gentle curves, palm trees, and shaded seating areas. Families favour Poniente for its calmer atmosphere, shallower water at the southern end, and proximity to parks and playgrounds. Beachfront apartments on Poniente tend to be in slightly lower-rise buildings with more spacious layouts.
Cala Finestrat — The Hidden Cove
Just beyond the western end of Poniente, Cala Finestrat is a small, sheltered cove that feels more like a fishing village than a resort beach. The sand is soft, the water is exceptionally clear, and the handful of seafood restaurants right on the beach serve some of the best fish in the area. It is a 10-minute walk from the main Poniente promenade, making it an easy escape for beachfront guests who want a change of scene without driving anywhere.
High-Rise Beachfront Living
Panoramic Sea Views
Benidorm's skyline is part of its identity. The city has more high-rise buildings per capita than anywhere in the world except New York and Hong Kong, and most of them are concentrated along the beachfront. For visitors, this means something unique on the Costa Blanca: the option to stay on a high floor with genuinely panoramic sea views.
Stunning Vistas from Every Angle
From the upper floors of a Levante beachfront tower, the view stretches north towards the Sierra Helada natural park and south past the island of Benidorm (Isla de Benidorm) to the distant headlands. At sunset from a Poniente-facing apartment, the sky turns orange over the water and the lights of the promenade below begin to glow. These views are not something you get from a typical two-storey holiday let.
Modern Apartment Complexes
The trade-off is that high-rise beachfront apartments tend to be compact — efficient two-bedroom layouts with open-plan living areas designed to maximise the terrace and the view. Most complexes have communal pools, often on rooftop terraces, plus security reception, lifts, and underground parking. Air conditioning is standard. The buildings are modern and well-maintained, built to withstand the coastal climate.
