Is there a tourist tax in Benidorm?
No, there is no tourist tax in Benidorm in 2026. The Valencian regional parliament created a tourist tax in Law 7/2022, but the new regional government repealed it by Decree-Law 14/2023 before it ever took effect, and Les Corts validated the repeal in November 2023.
As of May 2026 no tourist tax applies in any municipality of the Comunitat Valenciana and no new bill is in progress. The idea is debated most seasons, so check again before booking for 2027.
