Poniente Holidays

A Family Friendly Holiday Haven…

The Poniente region of Benidorm lies to the west of this famous holiday resort and has been enticing holidaymakers to its sunny shores since the 1960’s. Similar to neighbouring Levante, the vast sandy beach is the focal point of this part of town and once again, it doesn’t disappoint. Stretching for more than 3km with fine golden sands that slope gently into crystal clear waters and a palm tree lined promenade which gives a tropical feel to this family friendly holiday haven.

Poniente beach has awards for it facilities and cleanliness with rest rooms, showers, lifeguards and special facilities for travellers with disabilities. Due to the flat nature of this end of town it is extremely popular with the retired community and its warm winters attract holidaymakers looking for long stay vacations to escape the harsh British winters. Nature lovers will appreciate the Parc del Elche just along the promenade which also attracts hundreds of white doves to its shady pathways. Be warned though that the birds are very sociable and not shy in sharing your food.

Extensive Menus Will Satisfy Even The Fussiest Of Little Eaters…
