The Ultimate Benidorm Stag Do Guide 2023

The ultimate Benidorm boozer. A night in The Red Lion is like nothing else. Expect everything from banging tunes and cheap drinks to live sex shows as you party into the very small hours. The Red Lion is so legendary within the resort that they opened a second venue, which shares the same incredible atmosphere. And whatever you do, don't forget to ride the bucking bronco.

Say "howdy" to fun at the Western Saloon in Benidorm, one of the town’s premier western themed drinkeries. Playing a mix of country and western, soul and rock and roll, there really is something for everyone at this cheesy but fun bar. The food is also really delicious, with Tex Mex favourites on offer as well as cocktails that will hit the spot faster than you can say "yee-haw".

When you walk into a bar and there's a stripper spanking a bloke, you know you're in for a good time - and a good time you will have at this absolutely bouncing Benidorm boozer that's as stag friendly as it gets. After all, this place doesn't shut until well after 7.30am, has tons of sexy dancers and even more big screens that beam live sport from open to close. Oh, and when the sun goes down this place is absolutely bouncing with the DJ spinning some absolute bangers.

An institution, Jokers is the place to go if you fancy a boogie - with the packed venue famed for hosting the best tribute acts in the Costa Blanca. Meatloaf, UB40 and Queen impersonators can often be found inside this cavernous club which also acts as the starting point for many a bar crawl. Expect booze and bangers by the bucket load - while it even stages a foam party, so pack your Speedos just in case!

Benidorm's best strip club, hands down. The girls are gorgeous, the drinks are flowing and the stage shows are as good as it gets. You'll be hypnotized as soon as you and your mates step inside this cracking club, where entry is free (how rare is that for a strip club?!) and the shows can get pretty outrageous - they offer everything from sexy dances to stitching up the stag.

Located right on the Playa Levante beach front, Daytona Rock offers sun, beers and live sport to boot. This is the perfect spot to kick back in the sun with your mates to watch the match with plenty of drinks to keep you going. The terrace provides views of Benidorm’s famous beach which you can enjoy while listening to the live entertainment put on each day and night.

No trip to Beni would be complete without a visit to Morgan Tavern – AKA Neptune’s in the TV series of Benidorm. Themed like a pirate ship, you and the lads will feel like swashbucklers as you chug pints and enjoy the live shows, of which there are seven of them each night! This is a famous part of the TV series and will make you feel like a Garvey as you sit and watch the performances.

No, this isn’t a club for super fans of the Manchester-based band Oasis, but rather a banging beachfront bar that’s situated on the stunning Levante Beach. There are colourful and fruity cocktails (defo counts as 1 of your 5 a day), mouth-watering dishes, comfy chairs, a big outdoor screen and even a swimming pool! This is the ultimate place to drink, relax and catch some of those famous Benidorm rays.

Situated on the amazing Playa De Levant is this fantastic beachfront boozer. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and you can sit outside and look straight onto the beach. With fantastically fruity cocktails and a wide range of alcoholic tipples, you could easily sit here all day and top up your tan. Inside they have the hottest DJs bringing you some banging tunes. This brings a new meaning to the phrase "lounging around all day".

One of Benidorm's newest bars, this swanky spot specialises in cocktails that are not only delicious but also unbelievably boozy (the strawberry daquiri is particularly special). As Benidorm boozers go, this one is pretty swish. It looks the part, with fresh fittings and big TVs that really make it stand it from the crowd, while it also serves a delicious menu featuring everything from sizzling fajitas to loaded burgers. But trust us when we say you will struggle to find a better cocktail in Costa Blanca.

Visit the site of the former Benidorm Castle on this iconic terrace. Although the castle was destroyed in Napoleonic wars, tourists still flock to the site each year to take in some of the culture that this former fishing village has to offer. You may also recognise the top terrace area from the TV show Benidorm, as the restaurant that ‘The Oracle’ and Lesley had their ill-fated date after meeting on the internet.

Although Benidorm can sometimes feel a bit like Blackpool with sunshine, there are little Spanish gems to be discovered in this party town. Take a trip down Calle Santo Domingo, better known as 'Tapas Alley' where you’ll find legs of jambon hanging over the primarily Spanish customers. These restaurants offer a slice of Spanish cuisine and culture and will open you up to an entirely different side of Benidorm.

What better way to cool off from the scorching Spanish heat than a trip to the famous Aqualandia water park? This may seem an unusual 'cultural' choice, but Aqualandia is actually one of the oldest waterparks in Spain – so it would be rude not to go and pay respect by riding down some of the huge slides, right?

For the active stag do visiting Benidorm, nothing beats a hike up La Cruz, an incredible viewpoint located to the west of the town, offering panoramic views along the beach and countryside. Eagle eyed viewers may also recognize this spot as the final resting place for Donald Stewart, played by the late great Kenny Ireland in the TV series Benidorm.

Benidorm Palace is a stalwart of the Costa Blanca performance scene and is a night that you won’t forget. Going for more than 40 years, Benidorm Palace provides the perfect opportunity to get dressed up as well as an exceptional dinner and a show. The building itself is impressive, with reflective metal providing a spaceship feel, but inside, the 1,500-seat auditorium will provide you and the lads with a slap-up night.

Ok, you didn’t think we could write a guide about Benidorm and not PROPERLY talk about the multi award-winning TV show that ran for over 10 years? Although we’ve made reference to some of the memorable episodes, no trip to Beni is complete without a visit to Hotel Sol Pelicanos, AKA the Solana Hotel. You’ll spot some familiar sites around the now famous pool, which is in fact one of the biggest in Benidorm. Fun fact - one of our ground handlers was actually a speaking-part extra in Benidorm and still gets royalty cheques to this day. We don't actually feature the Sol Pelicanos in our portfolio but do have a fantastic range of other stag-friendly hotels in Benidorm.

Another famous scene from TV’s Benidorm, when Brandy (played by Sheridan Smith) stole dull Martin’s clothes and forced him to use a child as a shield, was filmed at the naturally beautiful Algar Falls. Enjoy the scenic journey through the Spanish countryside (about 9 miles) before arriving at the breathtaking waterfalls where you can take a dip in the natural pools (just keep a close eye on your clothes!)

Standing on the famous golden beaches of Benidorm, you will no doubt notice an island not too far from the coastline. Legend says the island was formed by a kick of King Jaime’s horse in the 12th century, which sent a portion of the Puig Campana mountain into the sea. What we do know is The Island of Benidorm is today a nature reserve for endangered birds and can be visited via daily ferry trips.

Drink your beer by the flagon as you enjoy a live action retelling of the tale of Robin Hood. This action-packed dinner theatre allows you to experience the thrills and spills of medieval life while you enjoy some tasty grub. From jousting to sword fighting, the production value of this activity is exceptional and will leave you and the lads wanting more - this is 'joust' the beginning!

Locally known as the “floor scraper” due to its long and short nature, this building was built in 2003. The building, held up by four pillars, hovers over the road and acts a doorway into the green zone ‘L’Aiguera’ park. This building has gained interest from architects all over the word. If you look closely, you’ll be able to see metal slats covering the windows with names of over 60000 Benidorm residents from the year of completion of the building carved into them.
