For a holiday in Benidorm in 2026, your daily budget will depend on your travel style, but a mid-range traveler should budget approximately €80 to €120 per day, excluding accommodation. Benidorm remains one of Spain's most affordable coastal resorts; you can find a "Menu del Dia" (three-course lunch) for €12–€18, and a pint of beer in the "English Square" can still be as low as €2–€4. If you are on a strict budget, you can get by on €40 to €55 per day by utilizing supermarkets like Mercadona and sticking to tapas bars in the Old Town. Conversely, a luxury budget for high-end dining at the Balcón del Mediterráneo and cocktails at rooftop bars would be €180+ per day. Don't forget to factor in "entertainment" costs; tickets for the Benidorm Palace or a day at Mundomar or Aqualandia can add €30–€60 to your daily spend. Most bars and restaurants are cash-friendly, but contactless payment is the norm across the city for 2026.
