Benidorm – bigger than ever

Benidorm authorises the largest development plan in its history, building more than 2,300 homes, 20 hotels, 660 public houses and more.

The Ensanche Levante plan was approved on March 27, revitalising more than 570,000 square metres of underdeveloped land. 

“This is the most important urban sector in the municipality in terms of surface area,” said the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Perez.

1,564 holiday homes and at least 780 residential apartments will be built, alongside 20 new hotels and three shopping centres. 

The mayor revealed: “The properties will have a minimum height of 20 floors, so the vertical city model characteristic of Benidorm will be followed, which has made us a benchmark in terms of sustainability.” 

The plan will also generate 660 public housing units and educational centres, as Toni Perez emphasised: “The most important in Benidorm in the democratic stage.”

To continue the city’s sustainability focus, a central park of 61,629 square metres and 13,000 square metres of gardens will be installed, transforming the city.

The time scale for the project is yet to be released.
