I love discovering viewpoints when I travel—whether it’s a hill to climb, a lookout, or a rooftop bar with a perfect sunset. Benidorm is full of Instagram-worthy spots that offer incredible views of the city, the beaches, and the Mediterranean. Here are my top picks for the best viewpoints in Benidorm!
Tossal de la Cala
This is probably my favorite viewpoint in Benidorm! Located on the other side of Poniente Beach, it offers panoramic views of the coastline. You can get here by taxi (ask them to wait if you want a ride back) or on foot for a scenic hike. The sunset from here is magical and perfect for photos.
La Creu Benidorm
Perched on the opposite side of the city near Levante Beach, this viewpoint is part of the Sierra Helada Natural Park. Renting an electric bike is a great way to explore the park and reach La Creu. From here, you can see the Levante skyline, the sea, and the mountains in the distance. It’s an excellent spot for sunrise or a quiet morning visit. Read more here.
Jeep Tour
For a more adventurous experience, take a jeep tour with Marco Polo Expediciones, and they will take you to the outskirts of Benidorm. These tours take you to hidden viewpoints where you can see the whole city spread out below. It’s a unique way to enjoy Benidorm’s landscapes beyond the tourist crowds.
One of the places we visited was this viewpoint pictured above – a cool place where you could see the whole city of Benidorm. Read more about the jeep tour here.
Balcón del Mediterráneo
Located in Benidorm’s Old Town, Balcón del Mediterráneo sits between Levante and Poniente beaches, offering stunning views of the sea and both shorelines. The viewpoint itself is charming and definitely Instagram-worthy. It’s also known as The Castle Viewpoint, named after the castle that once stood here centuries ago. The best time to visit is early in the morning for sunrise, as evenings—especially in summer—can get crowded.
Hotel Madeira Centro
I didn’t stay at this hotel, but I went there for drinks and dinner. Planta 20 is a rooftop bar offering spectacular views of Benidorm from above. I’d call it a hidden gem, as there weren’t many people watching the sunset when I visited. After enjoying drinks and the sunset, you can have dinner at the restaurant and soak in the beautiful night views.
If you’d like to stay here, check Booking.com for the latest availability and prices at Hotel Madeira Centro.
Meliá Villaitana Golf
If you prefer to stay outside the busy city center, Meliá Villaitana Golf Hotel offers stunning views over the golf course and Benidorm. It’s peaceful, luxurious, and perfect for a relaxing stay while still being close to the beaches and city attractions.
Benidorm Island
Take a boat trip to Benidorm Island and hike to the top for incredible panoramic views of the city and coastline. This is a must-visit if you love combining adventure with sightseeing.
Boat Trips & Water Activities
Even if you don’t go to the island,taking a boat trip along the coast is a great way to see Benidorm from the sea. Options include snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, jet skiing or just a scenic boat ride, all of which provide a unique perspective of the skyline and beaches.

They were pretty amazing! Benidorm is full of hidden gems.
I’ve been to Spain twice, but never heard about Benidorm until this post! Thank you so much for introducing me, Gabriela! I hope to go there someday.
It as also a new destination for me!
Great post and super helpful for when I visit Benidorm! Thanks for sharing these locations!
Nice to hear it was helpful 🙂
Hi Gabby
Like many things in life I stumbled across your site by chance. I think I was looking up double glazing companies, followed by the top 10 places in the world for romance and then your blog. Beautifully assembled narrative and images of loads of wonderful places. Gabby. Many of your photos have images of yourself in the composition – and artfully without you facing the camera. Are these images taken by a companion or do you use a tripod?
I’m and old guy dodgy hips but I still get about. I too have visited Eritrea. I took my Brompton folding bike.The main focus of my trip was to travel to the location of the tree that is illustrated on the 5 Nakfa banknote. Another highlight was visiting the Fiat Tagiatelli service Station. A couple of years back I travelled the length of Cuba on my road bike – from Punta de Maisi in the east to Cabo de San Antonio in the west.
Gabby I have a lot of respect for you. in life regret the things you’ve done – not the things that you’ve not done. And avoid negative and cynical folk. You’re still a young woman but your experiences will strengthen your resolve to achieve anything you’ve set your heart on in life.
Happy new year, keep safe and if you get in touch I’ll send you some of my own images.
Regards Barry
Hi Barry! So nice to hear that you’ve been to Eritrea too! It’s such a cool country 🙂 I have an app for my phone and can use it as a remote to take photos. That’s why I’m not facing the camera most of the time because I’m hiding the phone in my hand 😀 I haven’t been to Cuba or most of the Caribbean countries yet. I just find it very expensive to travel there when you basically have to fly every time you want to go to a new country. But one day I’ll go there!
