Benidorm hen do adventures...

Meander through the cobbled streets of Old Town, take a boat trip to stunning L'illa for a picnic in the park, or head to nearby Altea or Guadalest for a true taste of Spanish village life. Early birds can catch the magical sunrise over Levante's powdery sands, while a trip beyond Old Town to the curved beach at Poniente offers perfect views of the setting sun.

For the ultimate in sassy style, why not treat your fab bride-to-be to a luxury catamaran cruise through the Med? Lounge on deck with a glass of something cold, cool off with a dip in crystal waters and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch under clear blue skies. The sleek vessel even boasts on-board hammocks tempting you to lie back and relax in the cool summer breeze (once you manage to get in... really, how do people make it look so easy?!). If you're feeling daring and really want to get the adrenaline flowing then a 150ft drop at Spain's top theme park should blast the cobwebs in suitably white-knuckle style, and when it's time to unwind, the Roman hot pools at the region's most sumptuous spa will hit the right spot in utterly blissful fashion, leaving you feeling refreshed, recharged and ready for your big night on the town!

Shopping in Benidorm

It might not have the shopping kudos of some of its neighbouring capitals, but between quirky open air markets, quaint boutiques, beachside stores and the fantastic La Marina centre, there are more than enough options for you to satisfy any sudden urges to splash the cash on your hen do!

Passeig de la Carreterra is a fab hotspot for hitting some of Benidorm's bigger stores or finding hidden gems down the interconnecting alleys, and after a quick break to take in the panoramic view from the Balcon de Mediterraneo, why not wander over to Old Town, where you can dip in and out of the quirky boutiques before settling down to a delicious traditional lunch at one of the bustling pavement cafés?
