Stag Do Destination Guide: Benidorm



Benidorm is a stag do favourite and, if possible, getting more and more popular each year with groups wanting 3,4 or 5 nights away in the sun.

Before we get knee deep in why you should choose Benidorm for your stag weekend, lets have some no one cares facts:

  • Population: 67,558 (2018), however 11 million people currently visit each year!
  • Av. Max Temperatures: May 24℃, June 28℃, July 30℃ & August 31℃
  • Rainfall: 548mm annual rainfall (rainiest month is September, all the rest very low)
  • Sky Living: Benidorm is home to over 300 skyscrapers all with their own leisure space so they don't feel all crammed in.
  • Beaches: The sandy beaches of Benidorm are 100% natural and contrary to rumour the sand has not been imported. The sea is one of the cleanest in Europe and did you know (possibly not) Benidorm was the first resort in Spain to allow Bikinis?
  • Nightlife: Benidorm offers over 1,000 bars and 200 nightclubs so you'll need to come for a month, not a weekend!

Do The TripAdvisor Top 10 Bar & Club Crawl

There are so MANY bars in Benidorm (over 1,000) so my advice would be, do one of two things...

Do the current* Top 10 TripAdvisor Bars and Clubs of Benidorm, making sure you start early and have a good route, mapping all places on Google Maps. 

The current* top 10 bars and clubs are: 
  1. Kafee Klee
  2. The Explorers Club
  3. Bar 69
  4. West End Showbar
  5. Olivers Bar
  6. Scruffy Murphys
  7. The Bodhran Irish Bar
  8. Rock and Roll House
  9. Jail Rock
  10. Western Saloon.

Or

Book a DesignaVenture Benidorm guided bar and club tour for a stag party. Job done, you won't need to worry about anything, just let your knowledgeable guide take you to the best clubs and bars.

*Current = this list will change from month to month and it might be worth skipping really bad themed bars which have been voted for by the grey generation.



Beaches full of bikinis but not Mankinis

In the past, Spain had a ban on bikinis. However, thanks to the mayor of Benidorm back then, Mayor Pedro Zaragoza, he managed to persuade former dictator General Franco to lift this legislation, opening up the Benidorm beaches to beautiful sun dwellers.

Please note: we do not recommend the Mankini, recently the Spanish police have started cracking down on offensive fancy dress.

Beaches of Benidorm...

  • Levante Beach - walking distance from the town, 3 km of sand, width ways obviously, lengthways would be a bit of a trek to the sea!
  • Poniente Beach - popular with locals and the grey-market
  • Playa Del Mal Pas - measuring 120 metre wide, a good little sheltered cove possibly not recommend for the raucous stag party
  • Playa del Albir - A more relaxing beach where the sea is noticeably clear, a change of pace compared to Levante beach
  • Cala Almadraba - Pebble beach ideal for snorkelling and apparently a well know nudist beach!

The Benidorm Stag Activity Collection

Benidorm is a place to relax, get some sun and party late into the night so you may find booking an activity for the daytime may not necessarily be a good shout. However 50% of groups do book a daytime activity just to break the monotony of drinking all day!

All the daytime activity usual suspects are available; footgolf, bubble football, karts and paintball but why not book something different, a bit more themed to Benidorm:

  • Jet Skiing
  • Power-Boating
  • Theme Park 
  • Water Park
  • Jeep Safari
  • Sailing

So there you have it, the Benidorm stag do guide, go to DesignaVenture's full list of stag do activities in Benidorm, or take a look at the popular packages.


Good luck

Stag Do Traditions

Image
In the UK a stag do is a tradition, a time when a man calls for all his best mates and friends to get together and celebrate his single life before he gets married. In France they call it " enterrement de vie de garçon" which basically translates to "burial of the life as a boy or bachelor". Back to the UK, usually the 'stag or groom to be', nominates one, two or even three best men who will then take on the task of organising the stag. They will not only organise the it but also arrange what's going to happen on the stag, The Traditions. People think that traditions are hundreds of years old, but in my mind a tradition is something which has passed on from stag to stag. What are these traditions I hear you ask? I'm just getting to that... The Right To Humiliate The Stag Humiliating the stag is a good one to start with, these humiliation rituals are done on different levels of the embarrassment spectrum. The worst I saw was when

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

Image
Stag do rules whether they're funny or serious are part and parcel of a well planned stag do, and we are about to rummage through the depths of another top 10. There are quite a few unwritten rules, which I have written down? To be honest, it wouldn't be much of a top 10 without some stag do etiquette (unwritten rules). By the way if you are lost and are looking for some brilliant stag do games, go here . Rule Number 1 - What Goes On Tour, Stays On Tour This is one of the mentioned unwritten rules, it either makes the stag do sound: Mysteriously amazing Something has happened and no one wants to talk about it  No one can remember However whatever the reason, it's the most important rule to abide by. Rule Number 2 - Don't Leave Your Man Behind Enemy Lines In other words do not leave a member of the stag party asleep in a club, leaving him to get nudged by the bouncer leaving him to traverse his own way back to the hotel. You can also apply this ru

Top 10 Stag Do Movies Of All Time

Image
Stag Do movies are really on the up, over the years this fantastic life experience (your stag do / bachelor party) has also become a must see movie. Here at the DesignaVenture towers we have raided our DVD collections and VHS tapes and watched as many stag do themed films as possible to rate them in our very own special Top 10 stag do movie compilation. So which stag do movies have received the DesignaVenture Movie Gongs: At 10…. Bachelor Party Vegas  (2006 - IMDb rating 4.7/10) Possibly the start of the modern stag do comedy movie where the stars pack their bags and head to Vegas for a weekend to remember, or forget! This funny film also includes lots of naked ladies and even Paintball guns, how very apt. At 9…. Stag Night (2008 - IMDb rating 4.9/10) This is definitely not light hearted or a comedy in any way, a stag party takes the New York underground and gets off at the wrong haunted station, "STAY ON THE TRAIN!". A thriller which will put you off hav

Top 10 Stag Do Games

Image
Stag Do Games are a must on a stag do, not only will it create a togetherness amoungst the group, it will also be fricking funny. Just a word of warning , we do not condone masses amounts of drinking that these games promote, this article is just a service we provide for people that would like to know about stag do games, which obviously includes a little tipple or two. Chicken Run This game is brilliant and includes dressing the stag up as a chicken. SO, dress the stag up in a chicken outfit then, everyone sticks £10 into a kitty and gives it to the stag. The stag dressed up as a chicken has as long as it takes for everyone to buy a drink and finish it to find a bar and drink the kitty dry - just imagine, a bloke sat in a bar, dressed up as a chicken, drinking alone, hilarious! The group splits up into teams of 2 - 3, the first teams to find the stag/chicken get to drink from the kitty. The game is over once the kitty is dry or all the teams have fo

Top Stag Do Challenges

Image
Not to be confused with pranks and games, stag do challenges is a whole new ball game. Stag Do Challenges consist of the stag (groom-to-be) being set a number of tasks over his stag weekend or night which he must complete, if he doesn't there's a forfeit which is usually drinking his own weight in wine or something, but that's up to your group. Below I have put together a do-able list of 27 stag do challenges, you can pick the best ones or try and get him to do them all (on occasions, we will add to this list). All at the same time, the stag must purchase a porn magazine, hand cream and some tissues - this must be done without an explanation and without a smirk on his face. (I have a friend who bought a tub of vaseline for his chapped lips and a cucumber for his mum, totally unaware of what his 2 shopping items looked like travelling down the conveyor belt to the check out!). Get a kiss from a MILF who must be clearly over the age of 50. Beat a total str
