If there’s one coastal city that foreign tourists flock to, it’s Benidorm. Located in Alicante, in the Valencian Community, it’s world-renowned for its beaches, vibrant food and nightlife scenes and excellent summer weather.
Benidorm’s summer popularity sees its population surge from under 80,000 to over 400,000 during the peak months. It also boasts the third-highest number of hotel beds in Spain, behind only Madrid and Barcelona.
Interestingly, Benidorm has more skyscrapers than any other Spanish city, the highest number of skyscrapers per capita in the world, and ranks second globally for skyscrapers per square metre, just after New York.
According to the latest idealista report, the average asking price for property in Benidorm is €3,158/m², up 17.3% year-on-year, making real estate investment here potentially very profitable.
