Autumn transforms Benidorm into a unique and romantic destination, where the mix of its enchanting Mediterranean climate and vibrant landscapes make this season a perfect opportunity for a couple’s getaway. Although best known for its beaches and summer sun, Benidorm has much to offer in the autumn months. From leisurely strolls through the old town to outdoor adventures and gastronomic experiences, here are the best things to do to enjoy autumn as a couple in our charming city.
9 plans for an autumn in the city of Benidorm with your partner
A journey into the heart of history
Benidorm’s old town is one of the most charming places to explore as a couple. With its cobbled streets, whitewashed buildings and flower-filled balconies, this place has an air of romance that will make you feel like you’re in a movie. Start your stroll in the Plaza del Castillo, where history comes alive with every step. The narrow streets will lead you to the church of San Jaime and Santa Ana, a beautiful temple that dominates the hill and offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean.
Balcony overlooking the Mediterranean: The best viewpoint
From the church, a short walk will take you to the iconic Balcón del Mediterráneo. This is one of Benidorm’s most emblematic spots and a perfect spot to stop and enjoy the panoramic views of the Levante and Poniente beaches. Autumn, with its soft light and fewer tourists, offers a more intimate and special experience. Finish your walk with dinner in one of the traditional restaurants in the old town, where you can enjoy authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
The magic of twilight
Autumn in Benidorm brings spectacular sunsets, and there is no better place to enjoy them than Poniente Beach. Although the weather is cooler, the atmosphere is still warm and cosy. Bring a blanket, a bottle of wine and sit on the sand to watch the sky turn pink and orange as the sun dips behind the horizon. This is one of those moments when time seems to stand still, and all that matters is enjoying each other’s company.
Connecting with nature
For couples who enjoy nature and the great outdoors, an excursion to the Sierra Helada Natural Park is an excellent option. This park offers hiking trails that wind along impressive cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The autumn weather is perfect for walking, with mild and pleasant temperatures. You can opt for shorter, easier routes or venture out on more challenging hikes that will lead you to discover spectacular scenery and, with a bit of luck, spot dolphins off the coast.
Picnic at the top
Once you reach one of the viewpoints, take the opportunity to have a picnic. Bring some sandwiches, fresh fruit and a drink to enjoy while you take in the views. This is a perfect plan to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a moment of peace and connection with nature and your partner.
Seasonal flavours
Autumn is an excellent time to enjoy Benidorm’s rich gastronomy. Many restaurants and bars offer special menus that include seasonal products such as mushrooms, game, and, of course, the traditional baked rice. Organise a gastronomic tour of the town’s most emblematic restaurants. Start with starters at a tapas bar, continue with a main course at a Mediterranean restaurant and finish the evening with dessert at a local patisserie.
Wine tasting
Another gastronomic experience not to be missed is a wine tasting. Benidorm and its surroundings have excellent wineries that offer guided tours and wine tastings. Learn together about the different types of wine, how they are produced and their most outstanding characteristics. It’s an experience which, as well as being educational, is great fun and perfect for couples.
Wellness getaway
After a day exploring Benidorm, there’s no better way to relax than at a spa, such as Benicaldea. It offers spa services including massages, thermal water circuits and special treatments for couples. Imagine soaking in a jacuzzi overlooking the sea or enjoying a relaxing massage while surrounded by the tranquillity of autumn. It is an ideal way to disconnect from daily stress and recharge your batteries together.
Adventure at sea
For lovers of the sea and adventure, a visit to Benidorm Island is an unmissable experience. This small islet, located off the coast, is accessible by boat and offers a unique getaway. The island is a paradise for nature lovers, with numerous seabirds and a flora that changes colour with the season. You can explore the trails, enjoy a picnic lunch and, conditions permitting, snorkel in the crystal clear waters.
