Benidorm can work for couples with very different holiday habits. The answer is usually a sensible base and a flexible plan, rather than persuading one person to spend the entire week doing the other person’s favourite thing.
Agree the non-negotiables
Discuss sleep, budget, beach time and the nights you want to go out. Choose a hotel room and location that meet those needs before getting distracted by pool photographs.
Alternate the pace
Follow a late evening with a slower morning. Plan a shared lunch or walk on days when you want different activities. You do not need to do absolutely everything together to enjoy the same holiday.
Make getting home simple
Work out your evening transport and save the hotel location. If one person heads back earlier, agree how you will check in. A clear plan avoids the familiar argument about who said ‘just one more’.
