Padel Holidays in Benidorm

Padel in Benidorm

Benidorm is built for an easy, sociable, good-value holiday, and padel slots neatly into it. Our base sits close to the Levante and Poniente beaches and the promenade, with a short drive up to the courts at the highly rated Club de Padel Villaitana. The resort's whole appeal is convenience — beach, bars, restaurants and entertainment all within walking distance — which makes it a low-stress pick for groups who want plenty of sun, plenty to do and a night out, without stretching the budget.

Clubs and courts

Padel around Benidorm centres on Club de Padel Villaitana, a well-rated venue in the hills a short drive above the resort, with more clubs across the wider Costa Blanca. Courts are modern artificial grass, coaching is available in English, and we book your sessions ahead so your group's games are locked in. It's a smaller scene than the big Costa del Sol hubs, but paired with Benidorm's beaches, value and buzz it makes for an easy, sun-filled trip.

Who it’s for

Benidorm is a natural fit for value-seeking groups, stags and friends' trips who want sun, beach and nightlife without a big spend, plus a daily game to build the days around. It's welcoming for beginners and mixed-ability groups too, thanks to the relaxed clubs and short transfers. Players chasing an elite academy or a quiet, upscale scene will look elsewhere, but for easy warm-weather padel on a budget Benidorm delivers.

Best time to play

Benidorm enjoys a famously kind micro-climate and one of the longest seasons on the Spanish coast. Spring and autumn are warm and comfortable for play; even winter stays mild enough for outdoor padel, which makes it a solid cold-season escape. Summer is hot and lively, so morning and evening matches work best with the beach filling the middle of the day.

Getting there

Alicante airport is about 35 minutes away, with frequent, cheap flights from across the UK. Transfers and taxis are inexpensive, the resort is compact and walkable, and the courts are a short drive inland, so a hire car is optional.

Nearby areas

Benidorm is a good base for the northern Costa Blanca. The dramatic Peñón rock at Calpe and the pretty bay of Altea lie just up the coast, the Guadalest valley makes a scenic inland drive, and Alicante's castle and old quarter are 40 minutes south. Terra Mítica and the water parks are on the doorstep for a change of pace.
