Best Hotels Near the Benidorm Strip
Want to head out for live music and have a handy base for the walk back? The Levante and New Town nightlife area is a good place to start looking. These four established hotels put you around the livelier side of Benidorm, with different styles of stay to compare.
Our editorial shortlist brings together established hotels with different locations and facilities. It is not a ranking by booking volume, price or guest score. Details checked on 12 October 2026; compare recent guest reviews and the rate conditions for your dates.
People use “the Strip” for the lively New Town nightlife area, rather than one official hotel district. Check the map against the bars you actually want to visit. A handy nightlife location can also mean late-night noise.

Hotel Presidente
Avenida Filipinas · handy nightlife baseOur pick for: Staying around the lively New Town.
Presidente is a useful starting point if the main aim is being around the New Town bars and entertainment. Its Booking.com listing places it on Avenida Filipinas in the Rincón de Loix area. You can mix daytime beach plans with evenings nearby, making location one of the main reasons to compare it.
Before you book: Ask about room position if you are sensitive to noise. For several rooms, check the hotel’s group-booking conditions before making separate reservations.
Helios Benidorm
Avenida Filipinas · beach & barsOur pick for: Combining beach days with evenings out.
Helios sits on Avenida Filipinas in Benidorm’s tourist area, with Levante Beach roughly 500 metres away according to its Booking.com listing. It is worth comparing if you want a base for both daytime beach walks and evenings in the New Town, rather than choosing a hotel solely for one particular bar.
Before you book: Compare the included meals and room type, and read recent reviews about noise. Distance to the beach is approximate; your walking route may be longer.
Flash Hotel Benidorm
Adults-focused · DerramadorOur pick for: An adults-focused stay in a lively location.
Flash is worth a look for an adults-focused holiday close to the Levante nightlife area. The Booking.com listing uses the wording “Recommended Adults Only” and places the hotel on Avenida Derramador, around 300 metres from Levante Beach. It suits a shortlist where being in the lively part of town matters.
Before you book: Verify the current age policy rather than assuming the name guarantees an 18+ stay. Check any identification and payment-card requirements before travelling.
Ambassador Playa I
Levante base · pool & diningOur pick for: A traditional holiday-hotel base near entertainment.
Ambassador Playa I is another established option for the Levante side of Benidorm. Its Booking.com listing includes a swimming pool and restaurant and gives the beach distance as about 350 metres. It is worth comparing alongside Presidente and Helios if you want a hotel base around the New Town entertainment area.
Before you book: Book the exact property you intend: Ambassador Playa I and Ambassador Playa II are separate listings. Check group conditions and the board basis on your selected rate.
Close to the bars, comfortable for your holiday
Presidente and Helios are useful starting points around Avenida Filipinas. Flash adds an adults-focused option on Derramador, while Ambassador Playa I is another Levante-side choice. Look at each hotel on the map alongside your favourite venues, then compare room position, meal plans and recent reviews. Being close is useful; choosing the right room can matter just as much.

Your hotel questions answered
Where is the Benidorm Strip?
The name is commonly used for the busy New Town nightlife area around Levante, including streets such as Calle Gerona and Avenida Filipinas. It is not the same as the Old Town, which has a different atmosphere.
Can I expect a quiet room near the nightlife?
Not automatically. Ask about a room away from the busiest streets and entertainment areas, and read recent noise comments. A higher floor alone is not a guarantee.
Are these hotels suitable for stag or hen groups?
Check directly before booking. Hotels can apply group restrictions, deposits or special conditions even when ordinary rooms are available online. Our stag and hen guides can help with planning.
Should I choose all inclusive for a nightlife holiday?
Compare it with your plans. If you will eat and drink out most evenings, a lighter meal plan may work better. Look at the complete price rather than assuming one board basis is always cheapest.
How can I check what is on nearby?
Use our Live Bands & What’s On guide for the published entertainment schedules, and the Nightlife guide to start planning your evenings. Always check the venue’s latest information before heading out.
How did we choose these hotels?
We checked hotel websites and their Booking.com listings for location, facilities and the type of guest each stay might suit. This is a practical editorial shortlist, rather than a claim that these are the most booked hotels. Prices and guest scores change, so use the hotel links to compare the latest information.
