Benidorm TV Series Filming Locations You Can Visit Today
ITV's Benidorm ran for ten series between 2007 and 2018 and was filmed on location in the resort every year. The fictional Solana was stitched together from real places a few minutes' walk apart in the Rincón de Loix and New Town — and most of them are still open. Here is what each place was on screen, what it really is, and what you will find there now.
| On screen | Real location |

The Solana pool and terraces: Sol Pelicanos Ocas hotel
Every sunbed battle, poolside quiz and Mateo cocktail run was filmed around the pool at the Sol Pelicanos Ocas in the Rincón de Loix. It is a working hotel — you can book a room, sit by the same pool and recognise the terraces straight away. Non-residents can't use the pool, but the hotel is a short walk from the Severo Ochoa bars.
Visit Sol Pelicanos Ocas hotel →The Solana guest rooms and balconies: Acuariam II apartments
Bedroom and balcony scenes were shot in the Acuariam II apartments next door, which overlook the same pool — which is why the Garveys' balcony view always matched. These are private apartments, so view them from the street only.
Neptune's bar: Morgan Tavern
Neptune's — Les and Rob's bar with the nightly karaoke and Asa Elliott on stage — was filmed at the Morgan Tavern. Today it is one of the busiest show bars on Calle Gerona, with tribute acts and singers every night and free entry. The pirate-ship frontage makes it impossible to miss.
Visit Morgan Tavern →Reception and the Blow 'n' Go salon: Studio set opposite Benidorm Palace ('The Pink House')
Joyce's reception desk and Kenneth's salon were studio sets inside a building opposite Benidorm Palace, known to the crew as The Pink House. There is nothing to visit inside, but it is on the way to the Palace.
Benidorm Palace: Benidorm Palace
The Palace appears as itself, notably in the 2010 Christmas special. It still stages its big cabaret production most nights from Tuesday to Saturday — book show-only or dinner-and-show.
Visit Benidorm Palace →Late-night bar scenes on the strip: The Palladium and Calle Gerona
The Palladium still runs comedy, tributes and late adult cabaret.
Visit The Palladium and Calle Gerona →Beach and promenade scenes: Levante beach
Levante beach and its promenade appear throughout the ten series. Walk from the Rincón de Loix end towards the Old Town for the classic view of the skyline seen in the opening titles.
Visit Levante beach →A self-guided Benidorm TV walk
Start at the Sol Pelicanos Ocas in the Rincón de Loix, walk past the Acuariam II apartments, then head along Avenida Dr. Severo Ochoa towards Benidorm Palace and The Pink House. Finish on Calle Gerona with a drink at the Morgan Tavern — the real Neptune's — and catch whichever act is on. See what's on tonight or the tribute acts tonight.
