Best time to visit

Spring and autumn are the sweet spot; summer is hottest and busiest.

Getting there from the UK

Flights from many UK airports.

Top tips

  • Flights to Alicante (ALC) leave from most UK airports; flexible midweek dates are often cheaper.
  • Benidorm suits lively breaks; Altea, Jávea and Dénia are calmer.
  • Shoulder season (April–June, September–October) is warm with fewer crowds.
  • TRAM d'Alacant links the city with Benidorm and coast towns cheaply.
  • Self-catering apartments can cut costs for families.

Before you go

  • Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
  • Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
  • Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
