What are some good alternatives to benidorm for an older crowd?
Posted by ggg7783@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 22 comments
3 of us are booking a holiday aged 22, 27 and 40. Looking for places with the same vibe as benidorm (just for alternative options), but not full of young people (maga, napa, zante etc). Ideally somewhere that's not too expensive.
Any help appreciated, cheers!

If you want near Benidorm, but not Benidorm itself, check out L'Albir or Altea, which are a much more tranquil resorts a few miles up the coast. They have restaurants, beach and nice accommodation, but are much more relaxed. Calpe is another option.

I never thought I would see the day of someone asking for places like Benidorm…
If that’s your vibe just go to the source.

Isn't benidorm already for the older crowd? All you see are burnt 60 year olds on power scooters going to find their next pint.

No, they’re the ‘local expats’ (retiree immigrants)

just got back from Chania in Crete, and off-season it's great and cheap - got a fancy private villa with a pool and garden, BBQ etc, 4 double rooms for £1800 for a week, everything is pretty affordable there too - meals ran us about £20 per person including drinks.
we did Turkey - Marmaris last year - not as nice, and was expensive even in a hotel, mildly cheaper to eat out there but overall not much cheaper.
I'd look into getting a villa again, great bang for buck if there are a few of you.

It's hard to replicate Benidorm elsewhere, you just don't get the traditional sticky shows in most places.

Tenerife itself is just great, further south you go more younger people, great for older people they got mobility scooters everywhereeeee - I’m 32m and enjoyed north Tenerife with family and wifey

Zante is good if you go towards the end of the season. We usually holiday in September/October as its usually quieter. Falarakai is another place that we enjoy. We're in our late 30's.
