Benidorm in autumn, a pleasant climate for enjoying the outdoors
Mild temperatures and sunny days
Autumn in Benidorm is characterised by a mild climate that allows you to enjoy the outdoors without the intense heat of summer. During the months of September to November, daytime temperatures range between 20 and 25°C, while the nights are cool but pleasant, creating the perfect atmosphere for strolling around the town or relaxing on the terraces.
Quiet beaches and lush nature
Benidorm’s famous beaches, such as Levante and Poniente, take on a new charm in autumn. Without the summer crowds, they become peaceful places where you can enjoy the sound of the waves and the sea breeze. It is the ideal time for those looking for a serene setting to relax, read a good book or simply contemplate the sea. In addition, the Serra Gelada Natural Park, which surrounds the town, is a perfect setting for hiking, offering routes of different levels of difficulty and spectacular views of the Mediterranean.
Culture, history and traditions
Events and local festivals
Autumn in Benidorm is a season rich in cultural events and local festivities. One of the most prominent celebrations is the Benidorm Fest, which attracts visitors with its music, dance and festive atmosphere reflecting the essence of Spanish culture. In addition, local markets and fairs offer a unique opportunity to discover artisan products, culinary delights and the warmth of local hospitality.
Historical and architectural heritage
Benidorm, in addition to its beaches, is home to an interesting historical heritage that comes to the fore in the autumn months. The old town, with its cobbled streets and traditional charm, is an ideal place to explore without the hustle and bustle of summer. Landmarks such as the Church of St. James and St. Anne, located at the top of the old town, offer a unique experience for lovers of history and architecture. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the sea.

Benidorm’s gastronomy in autumn is a feast for the senses. The town’s restaurants, many of them overlooking the sea, offer a variety of dishes that highlight seasonal produce. The rice dishes, so characteristic of the region, are prepared with fresh ingredients such as freshly caught mushrooms and seafood. In addition, traditional stews and dishes such as ‘arròs amb fesols i naps’ (rice with beans and turnips) are perfect options for enjoying the local cuisine.
Unique gastronomic experiences
For guests of Hoteles Benidorm, we recommend enjoying a dinner in the restaurants of our hotels in the city, where you can taste menus made with fresh, local products.
