Benidorm is a Western Mediterranean (Costa Blanca) cruise port and city in Spain's Alicante province, with a population of around 70,000. Costa Blanca is an approx 200 km (120 mi) long coastline in the province, extending from Denia (north) to Pilar de la Horadada (south). Costa Blanca's a well-developed tourism industry attracts annually millions of mainly British and German tourists.

The town became a tourism travel destination since 1925 when the seaport was extended and started the extensive construction of hotels and resorts. Since 1952, Benidorm was developed as a summer vacation travel destination for predominantly domestic tourists (coming from inland Spain, and mainly from Spain's capital Madrid). The current-day city is also internationally famous for its beautiful beaches, skyscrapers, premium hotels, and resorts, numerous luxury villas (for rent), theme parks, nightclubs, and taverns.

In the 17th-18th-centuries the town developed a strong tuna fishing industry, agriculture, coastal shipping trade, and shipbuilding. By hotel capacity and annual tourist volumes (5+ million), today Benidorm is ranked Spain's largest holiday resort destination. Most of the international tourists are from UK-Ireland, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. The city's best (as facilities and amenities) and the largest beaches are Playa de Levante, Playa de Poniente, and Playa de Mal Pas. The 4-star Gran Hotel Bali (2002-built, height 186 m) was Spain's tallest skyscraper until 2007 - when in Madrid's CTBA (Four Towers Business Area) were opened the 4 skyscrapers - Espacio (2007, 224 m), Cristal (2008, 249 m, PwC (2008, 236 m) and Cepsa (2009, 248 m).
