A Benidorm stag do is sun, sea and a lot of fancy dress. It’s loud, it’s good value and it’s been looking after British stags for decades, so it knows exactly what you’re there for.
Days are for the beach, a boat party or a pool session that runs a bit long. Nights are for the Strip and the old town, and pretty much anything goes when it comes to costumes. Pack the stag’s outfit and leave his dignity at home.
For where to drink, where to stay and how to get about, read our Benidorm stag do guide below.
A Benidorm stag weekend: my sample itinerary
Friday Check in somewhere in Levante, ideally close enough to the English Square that the walk home isn’t a problem. Get the stag into his costume early (pretty much anything goes here) and ease in at the Last Stop sports bar next to the square, then on to the Hippodrome for cheap drinks and mashed-up dance and R&B. Don’t try to see the English Square out on night one. It stays open longer than you will.
Saturday Daytime is for damage. I’d split the group between a boat party or a speedboat from Benidorm Port if it’s a scorcher, and paintball in the mountains out of town if the lads want to hunt the stag with an extra canister of ammo. Rest up for a siesta, then do the beachfront crawl: the Lazy Cow Beach Club in the Rincón de Loix for funnels and beer bongs, along to the Harley Davidson Club and the KM Beach Club, then two blocks up across the Avenida Mediterraneo to The Yorkshire Pride, Scruffy Murphys and Churchills. If anyone is still upright, finish in the clubs towards the end of the Avenida Mediterraneo. A guided bar crawl takes the planning off your hands if you don’t trust yourself with the route.
Sunday Get to the market by the Hotel Pueblo in the morning to replace the shoes and belts that went missing overnight. Then wander over to Poniente, where the beach is quieter and a game of volleyball sheds the worst of the hangover. For a last cold one, climb up to the Balcón del Mediterráneo in the Old Town and look over both beaches, quietly counting how many of the lads made it.

Benidorm stag do guide
If you want a stag weekend your mates are still talking about by the time your silver wedding anniversaries roll around, you’ll struggle to beat Benidorm. It’s big, it’s brash and it goes off with a bang. As the party capital of the Costa Blanca, it’s like Ibiza or Mykonos on a larger scale, and you don’t get that kind of reputation for hedonism by accident. Summer temperatures average 30°C, so here’s how to fill the days and nights.
Where to stay: Levante
Stay in Levante if you want to be where the action is. It’s where they film the TV show, and it’s what most people picture when they think of Benidorm. Lairy doesn’t do it justice. Weirdly, Benidorm means “sleep well”, which is the last thing you’ll do if you book rooms in central Levante. You’re never more than a few steps from a bar, the beach is close by, and this is where you’ll find all the big clubs and the English Square with its many bars. The drink discounts will get you merry early doors and Happy Hour seems never-ending. Daytime activities, from jeep safaris to paragliding, can all be booked from here too.
You won’t spend much time in bed, so don’t book five-star. A cheap and thoroughly decent three-star with a pool does the job. The Hotel Orange is a good stag do pick, right on the English Square, so you can get messy and not worry about getting back. The Sol Pelicanos and Sol Ocas complex is where the Benidorm TV show is filmed, and the smaller hotels around it are relatively cheap. Book well in advance and you could snap up a right bargain.
The rest of town
- Old Town. Sits on a rocky headland between Levante and Poniente. It’s relaxed and quiet, with little Spanish shops and restaurants down the narrow alleys, and a tip from a reader: stock up on sportswear here, as it can be up to half the price of back home. Nightlife is pretty much zero, but for a warm-up climb to the Balcón del Mediterráneo for panoramic views of both beaches with a cold one in hand. The rock was once a watchtower against pirate invasions. With luck, the only invasions you’ll worry about are on the dancefloor.
- Poniente. Scenic but quiet, with authentic Spanish restaurants and the odd Brit bar. The beach is a lot quieter than Levante, so nobody will pinch your sun-lounger, and it’s good for a game of volleyball on the last morning to shed the worst of the hangover.
Daytime
- On the water. You can hire a boat or jet ski from Benidorm Port. If it’s a scorcher, we strongly recommend splitting the cost of a speedboat and tanking round the waves for a few hours. There’s also a glass-bottomed boat to Benidorm Island, but to be honest there isn’t a lot there apart from a restaurant and a depressed peacock in a cage.
- Jeep safari. A full day spinning along dried-up river beds lined with 10ft reeds, over hills and bumpy tracks, getting thrown around constantly. Bring your trunks for a dip at the Fonts de l’Algar, a freshwater river where you can cool off in the shade. The restaurant there is good, but go easy on the lunchtime beer before the bumpy ride back.
- Paintball. The time-honoured stag classic, in the mountains about 7 miles out of town with transport usually included. Good value, so you can all chip in for an extra canister of ammo purely to hunt the stag.
- Paragliding. Strap yourself to a stranger and let him run off a mountain with you. For a bit extra you can arrange for a bird of prey to fly up and land on your arm halfway down. At least that’s one bird on the stag’s arm the bride won’t mind seeing in the photos.
- La Cruz de Benidorm. A giant illuminated cross that watches over the town at night. The coastal route up has spectacular views. Drive or scooter up, or walk it in about an hour from the McDonald’s in the Rincón de Loix, climbing the hill and bearing right.
- Waterparks. Aqualandia is an epic waterpark with giant slides you can see from town. There’s a bus from the Avenida Mediterraneo, and the touts handing out flyers in the street can get your group a discount. Aqua Natura, next to the Terra Natura zoo, is a short bus ride away too.
- Terra Mítica. A big theme park about 10 minutes out by taxi. Entry is pricey, so book ahead for discounts, and avoid peak times in summer when it gets crowded.
- Markets. On Wednesday and Sunday mornings there’s a sprawling market by the Hotel Pueblo, ideal for replacing the shoes and belts that go missing on a Benidorm night out. El Cisne market on Thursday mornings is like a massive car boot sale, and for every drink you buy at the bar you get a plate of paella free. Useful if the kitty is running low.
- La Marina. A big shopping centre a short taxi or bus ride away in La Cala, with discounted designer brands and, more usefully if you’re self-catering, a Lidl for cheap food and apartment beers.
Nightlife
After the afternoon siesta the resort starts to buzz, and as the light fades Levante starts to resemble a neon alleyway in Tokyo. The English Square is the beating heart of it, a strip of bars, clubs and takeaways along a palm-lined promenade, and you’ll run into plenty of hen parties. Most places stay open until around 7am, if you can make it that far. Two crawls to try:
English Square crawl. Start in a sports bar such as the Last Stop, right next to the English Square (it sounds odd to start at the Last Stop, but the night is going to get a whole lot weirder). Carry on to the Hippodrome for cheap drinks, an electric atmosphere and mashed-up dance and R&B. The best clubs for stags are towards the end of the Avenida Mediterraneo, one block back from the beachfront. For more serious clubbing, head along the Avenida Comunitat Valenciana.
Beachfront crawl. Start in the Rincón de Loix at the Lazy Cow Beach Club, where the cocktails come with funnels and beer bongs for the sophisticated stag party. Head along the beachfront to the Harley Davidson Club, which is always rocking, and the KM Beach Club, which draws Spanish and English clubbers alike, with a 24/7 Burger King nearby. Then go two blocks up, across the Avenida Mediterraneo, to a cluster of bars full of Brits on tour, like The Yorkshire Pride, Scruffy Murphys and Churchills, before finishing in the clubs and getting back in time for breakfast.
Gentlemen’s clubs
Benidorm itself has relatively few lap dancing joints. Albir, a 10-minute taxi ride away, has several on both sides of the main road. For something with a bit more style, get a taxi to BeniMont. For an extra frisson, there’s also a casino on the Avenida Mediterraneo in the Rincón de Loix.
Where to eat
You can get British grub in just about any pub at a good price, or seafood and paella at the beachfront restaurants. The two McDonald’s and two Burger Kings are at opposite ends of town. For the best budget meal out with the lads, look for the Chinese menu of the day: starter, main, side, dessert, beer, coffee, ice cream and prawn crackers for very little.

When is the best time for a Benidorm stag do?

Can you wear fancy dress in Benidorm?
Yes. When it comes to costumes, pretty much anything goes in Benidorm, and the town has been looking after British stags for decades. Choose the stag’s outfit carefully and leave his dignity at home.
Where should we stay for a Benidorm stag do?
Stay in Levante if you want to be where the action is, with the big clubs, the English Square and the beach all close by. Hotel Orange sits right on the English Square, so nobody has to worry about getting back.
Where should a stag group drink in Benidorm?
The English Square in Levante is the heart of it, with bars, clubs and takeaways where most places stay open until around 7am. For a beachfront crawl, start at the Lazy Cow Beach Club in the Rincón de Loix and work along to the KM Beach Club.
