Adults-only hotel on the Costa Blanca: Benidorm for couples

An adults-only hotel on the Costa Blanca suits couples who want to combine a seaside holiday with city life and day trips. Our selection features one hotel in Benidorm, suited to adults who enjoy strolling through the city and along the promenade, and value a retreat above the bustle for a dip in the pool.

The adults-only hotels on the Costa Blanca are a small selection of hotels for guests aged 16 and over. There are also clifftop paths, Altea’s old town and cultural sights such as Castell de Guadalest.

Why choose the Costa Blanca for a child-free break?

Day trips take you from Serra Gelada, with its cliffs and coves, to Playa de Levante and on to Altea’s narrow streets. You can alternate coastal scenery with city strolls, so every day of your holiday feels different.

For culture, there is Castell de Guadalest above the reservoir and Castillo de Santa Bárbara on Benacantil. In Benidorm, the coves meet at the Balcón del Mediterráneo. These distinctive places give the region its character, between the sea, old towns and historic buildings.

Things to do on the Costa Blanca: experiences for two

Serra Gelada coastal path – Benidorm and Altea

Along the Serra Gelada coastal path, the mountains drop straight down to the Mediterranean. Between cliffs and coves, you’ll discover a quieter side of the coast.

Altea old town

In Altea’s old town, narrow streets wind past white houses and uphill to the church with its blue dome. A terrace overlooking the rooftops makes a lovely place to pause after a stroll.

Castell de Guadalest – El Castell de Guadalest

Narrow streets lead through Castell de Guadalest up to the castle and viewpoints overlooking the reservoir. Along the way, you’ll find historic corners, while a terrace offers views across the landscape.

Playa de Levante – Benidorm

At Playa de Levante, you can swim, stroll by the water or sit on the sand with a book. Afterwards, the promenade invites you to wander as the light over the bay softens.

Castillo de Santa Bárbara – Alicante

At Castillo de Santa Bárbara, explore the fortress on Benacantil. From there, you can look out over Alicante, the harbour and the coast.

Our adults-only tip: Balcón del Mediterráneo

The coves of Benidorm meet at the Balcón del Mediterráneo. In the evening, you can look out to sea from here before continuing your stroll through the old town.
