Benidorm is a destination that offers something for everyone – from golden beaches to lively entertainment, from peaceful parks to bustling markets. If you’re staying at a Sabesa apartment, you’re already in a fantastic location to explore the city. But with so much to see and do, how will you get around? 

The good news is that Benidorm has plenty of transportation options, whether you prefer the independence of a hire car, the convenience of an airport transfer, or the slower pace of cycling along the Mediterranean coast.

This guide takes you through the main ways to travel during your stay, along with practical tips for making the most of each option.

1. Car Hire – Freedom to Explore Beyond the City

Hiring a car is a great choice if you want to explore not only Benidorm but also the surrounding Costa Blanca region. From mountain villages to secluded coves, having your own set of wheels means you can set your own timetable and visit places that are off the main tourist trail.

If you choose to hire a car, Sabesa apartments make it easy. The building has free on-site parking for guests – a big advantage in Benidorm, where parking spaces in busy areas can be scarce. The private car park means you can come and go without the stress of hunting for a spot, and your vehicle will be safely off the street when you’re not using it.

When driving in Benidorm, keep in mind that the city centre can be busy, particularly in summer. You might prefer to park your car at the apartment and explore the centre on foot or by public transport. Use the car for day trips instead – for example, to visit charming towns like Altea, the spectacular cliffs of the Serra Gelada Natural Park, or one of the many inland hiking areas.

Parking Tip: If you do need to park in town, look for designated blue zone areas where paid parking is permitted. Always check the signage for operating hours and tariffs.

2. Airport Transfers – Stress-Free Start and End to Your Trip

If you’d rather skip driving altogether, an airport transfer is a simple, stress-free way to travel between Alicante Airport and your Sabesa apartment. You can book a private transfer for door-to-door service with Shuttle Direct, which is particularly convenient if you’re travelling with heavy luggage or arriving late at night.

Shared shuttle services are also available, offering a more affordable option while still delivering you close to your accommodation. You’ll meet your driver at a set location at the airport, then relax as you’re driven directly to Benidorm. Once you arrive at La Caseta, you’ll be within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants – no need for a car unless you want to explore further afield.

Transfers work both ways, so you can also book your return journey in advance to make sure you arrive at the airport on time without the stress of navigating or parking.

3. Cycling – Scenic, Healthy, and Eco-Friendly

Cycling is a brilliant way to enjoy Benidorm’s Mediterranean climate while getting from place to place. The city and its surroundings have a growing network of cycle lanes and coastal paths, meaning you can travel safely while soaking up the sea views.

From the Sabesa apartments, it’s easy to pedal along the beachfront promenade or head towards quieter stretches of coastline. If you’re feeling energetic, you can cycle out to neighbouring towns such as Albir or Villajoyosa, stopping for a coffee or a swim along the way.

If you don’t want to bring your own bike, local rental shops offer a choice of standard bicycles, mountain bikes, and e-bikes for a little extra boost. For those staying longer, weekly rentals are often available at reduced rates.

Cycling is especially handy for avoiding traffic in the city centre, and you’ll be able to discover corners of Benidorm that most visitors miss.

Choosing the Best Option for You

Your choice of transport will depend on the type of holiday you have planned. If you’re looking forward to day trips and hidden gems beyond the city, car hire will give you the most flexibility. If you’re here for a beach holiday with everything within walking distance, an airport transfer may be all you need. And if you enjoy active travel and want to stay eco-friendly, cycling can be your main mode of getting around – or a fun extra on certain days.

Whatever you choose, La Caseta’s location means you’re well placed to make the most of Benidorm. With parking on site, easy pick-up and drop-off points for transfers, and cycling routes right on your doorstep, you can travel your way and enjoy every minute of your stay.
