Jump to: Newest in thread
Quick update for all you Benidorm lovers. When you are finally permitted to return back to Beni, your in for a real shock. There has been & still is so much renovation work taking place during the lockdown. It truly is a credit to the Benidorm authorities. The Avda Mediterraneo traveling to the old Town from Europa is quite literally stunning during the evenings. Check out the revamped no longer bullring, the new culture centre & massive Hotel renovations. Sadly the Western Saloon has been completely demolished, don’t despair, a brand new 1 is being constructed. More good & bad news, Cafe Benidorm, Champions, Sinatra’s, in fact most of the clubs in the main square are to go. TO GO upmarket, yes, the square is to be rejuvenated in tthe near future. |

"I'm a big fan of Benidorm, love the live entertainment every evening, the only thing missing are Swingers Clubs/Bars."
Yea, your correct. Good people have opened swing clubs here previously, but, not really had the support they deserved.  |

Nice to hear.
We noticed a lot of work going on when we drove up in November.
Western Saloon was probably ready for a revamp. Compared to some of the other places it was starting to look a bit dated.
I can understand Benidorm wanting to go up market and some parts of the town would really benefit, but I just don't see it around the square.
To go fully up market the area would have to completely do away with the Brits on the piss and stag/hen party culture and find a totally different clientele.
The place can only be as up market as the customers it attracts and I really don't see the Surry stockbroker belt turning up in Cafe B for their jollies.
Benidorm is what it is and does a bloody good job of doing it. Crazy notions about going up market could be the very same expensive mistake they made in the 1980's. |

Yes very true, but when Benidorm did have a swinger club all you read on here were people slagging it off.
It wasn't perfect but it was there and open. Sadly no longer. |

100% agree. 
Every time we drove up to Benidorm we had at least one night in Cupido (sometimes two)
Some nights it was very quiet others not, but we had some really nice evenings in there even on the quiet nights.
Then you would read comments on here "it's too small, the drinks were a bit dear" Etc. It was small but it was big enough and no it wasn't £1 a pint but the drinks were priced about right.
Then when it closed we had the moans and groans "why is there not a swinger club in Benidorm" The answer is above.
Like everything in life. Use it or lose it.

"To be honest if they change the strip especially Sinatra’s I would stop going and I think a lot of people would"
ppl would only stop going if it’s changed for the worse I’m guessing it will be a change for the better nothing wrong woth giving the place a revamp

The regular visiters to Benidorm will know Avda De Mallorca, or for the revellers "the Brit square". A request for quotations has been sent out to companies to revamp the Avenue. Entries to be submitted by Monday. This I believe is the start of the many changes. There is no mention of the clubs as yet, although i'm pretty sure it will be announced. |

It’s really quite sad here at the moment. Spain having gone through one of the harshest lockdowns, to still be where we are has broken so many. The showboat closed permanently for one.
I know we'll get back to it all again soon, but right now so many of us are just lost. I’m one of so many who haven’t had any work since the 13th of March last year.
On the other side however, it’s so lovely to see a post of positivity (even though mine isn’t so sunny), so thanks OP xx |

How is Sticky Vicky doing?
But seriously if there isn't a swinger club/bar/community there that's a HUGE gap in the market!
If someone had the time and the money they could get one going.
Build it and they will come..... |

"As people have said before the last one wasn't fully supported,shame really as there is a lot of people with nowhere to go."
That's a shame. I know Benidorm is more touristy and cheap drinks etc. I went on holiday there YEARS ago and had a blast. Before I was swinging and knew there were clubs to do it in. Lol.
Maybe one day it will happen. |

Amazing how some holiday makers still associate Benidorm with Sticky Vicky. Born 1943 in Canary Islands, called Vicky Leyton, but, not her real name. Retired aged 72, Wikipedia describe her As a dancer and illusionist known for her vaginal magic show. Our late Mother amazingly remembers Benidorm as the place where the male stripper is dressed as a Waiter. Holding a silver tray with his big Willy slapped out on it. Memories  |

When I went to Benidorm about 12 or so years ago she was still doing the rounds every night, bless her. |

That wasn't the case last time.
It's not so much a huge gap in the market. There just isn't a market at all. Well nothing like big enough to support a club.
Benidorm only has a small resident population (around 30,000) from that small catchment there just wouldn't be enough swingers, as was proved last time. Very few locals attended. Any Spanish swingers from the surrounding area went to the Alicante clubs (there were 5 before Covid) and even they only get busy in the summer.
So it's down to the tourists to keep it going, and realistically British tourists. The Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians Etc abandoned Benidorm years ago. And while there are a lot of Spanish that visit, outside of July and August most are pensioners.
Surely there would be enough British swingers to keep a club going in Benidorm you may say. Er....No.
But there are (in normal times) dozens of Benidorm threads on here. Er...Yes...but.
A few years ago when this subject came up I took a look through those Benidorm threads on here. Yes there were a lot and a good number of posts, but when you took away the multiple posters, and the obvious married guys hoping to sneak away from the family holiday (which they invariably couldn't) there were only around 50 couples and a similar number of single guys left. And that was for a whole year. Those numbers were from around 5 years ago and from memory so could be +/- ten or a dozen.
So even if the club only opened for 5 nights a week, divide those 150 people by 52 weeks and then by 5 nights and what have you got? An average of less than one person per night. Even if you round it up and then double it, that is only 2 people per night.
Does anyone really think that a club can survive on those numbers?
I predicted all of that around five years ago and when a club did finally open it is exactly what happened. Yes there were a few busy nights but far too many quiet ones. |

Maybe because Benidorm is more of a family/tourist/cheesy/get d*unk kind of destination. And if that works then great. But as you have said people mustn't complain there isn't a 'scene' there, a club opens and they don't rock up. |

We had a apartment in La Cala just outside of Benidorm for six years, we did go to the club a few times although we did not really enjoy it, when we did go there was normally a few couples and singles there
The club was near a hotel in a populated area so probably not the best place to have a swingers club
One of the locals who lived near by who we knew said it was pressure from the church and locals that got the club closed
He said some of the people coming and going to the club were less than discrete
There was talk of another club opening but covid took over and we have lost touch

Yes, to be fair it wasn't the best location for a club. Although we used to stay in the hotel Celymar (on the same block) quite regularly. We could fall out of the club and almost land in bed LOL.
We also heard the story about the church and local objections and are sure that there was something in it.
However on most of the nights we visited it was very quiet and it obviously was not getting the support it deserved (both from locals and tourists)
A new club in Benidorm after Covid?
Maybe a small one could just about muddle through but someone would have to do it for the love of the job. I really can't see anyone making any money out of a swinger club there. |

We found it attracted a lot of local guys who thought because we are in the club it was a given that Jess would have sex with them
But having said that we did meet some nice couples and guys in there but mostly took the fun back to our place.
I personally think there is an opening for a swingers club in or near Benidorm but it would have to be in the right location after covid is properly under control

Yes, it goes without saying that Covid must be under control first.
Big question would be though, what is the right location?
Levante? I don't think it would work there. Once word gets out there would be no end of dr*nken stag trip guys trying to get in at 2am. With all the accompanying hassle.
On the outskirts? Possibly but an expensive taxi ride or needing car hire would put a lot of visitors off. Besides if you've hired a car the Alicante clubs are only 30 minutes away.
Which brings us back to the old town.
The last one was squeezed between 2 hotels with the main police station just behind, so it was probably on thin ice to start with.
I would say that the best bet would be somewhere in the narrow streets just behind the headland. Roughly the area where the gay bars are.
There is already a gay sex club there so the church and locals couldn't complain too much. Also it would be much easier for visitors to get to but far enough away as to not encourage half a dozen guys to fall out of one of the live sex shows with a hard on. |

That’s exactly where I was thinking of, it would be near perfect as you say away from the live sex shows at the Brit end
Also there was a move in 2019 to try and close the gay bars and clubs, one of the owners contacted the EU about discrimination against. gays and funnily enough the whole idea was cancelled
They were going to increase rents in the old town but not in the new town
So opening a club there should not cause many obstacles to overcome
Food for thought lol we have residential status in Spain !!! |

We love Benidorm, and we usually go over for a long weekend in August but we really don't see it as a resort to swing in.
There is a reason why there are no clubs there, and why when one was there it failed.
As we all know Benidorm is hard drinking place focused for large groups of guys and lads. Even though some parts of the resort attract families and couples it's mainly focused of daytime cheap drinks.
Playa del Ingeles is a great swinging resort, the bars, clubs, beach, cinema, nude terraces in hotels. Everything in one place. Yet, still has all the vanilla bars if you want a Benidorm style day/night drinking.
Book PDI if you want to swing! xx |

"To be honest if they change the strip especially Sinatra’s I would stop going and I think a lot of people would"
Even if it changed for the better? - there are a lot of people in and around Benidorm who hate the d*unken antics of some British visitors and would welcome a change for the better |

We agree. Somethings in Benidorm probably do need to change. Some Brit behaviour certainly |

The daytime drinking isn't just along the beach. Of course there are many bars along there that are busy but there is plenty elswhere.
The terraces at the White Star, Jumping Jacks and many others on Calle Girona are just as busy in the afternoons.
I think the poster you are quoting does make a fair point about the difference between Benidorm and PDI.
The Levante end of Benidorm really is a "Brits on the piss" resort and (makeover or not) will probably never change. Benidorm is good at what it does but we don't think it will ever be a swinger resort.
To start with it just isn't cosmopolitan enough. Benidorm is Spanish and British/Irish. Yes that is a full stop. Visitors from other parts of Europe can be counted in handfuls. As I said before the Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians Etc abandoned the place years ago. And that is why for swingers PDI will always come out on top.
To be fair PDI has its problems as well. Last time we visited we thought a lot of it looked very run down and was well overdue a makeover. Also reading some of the posts on this site and the German site we use. Migrants are becoming a growing problem for the tourist industry there.
However it seems to have become the go to place for swingers from all over Europe, especially in the winter.
So for a boozy weekend in the warmer months then Benidorm is your place.
For swinging in the Autumn/Winter/Spring the it has to be PDI.
For swinging in the summer.....There is only one Cap d'Agde but that is another subject altogether.

There are steps being taken to combat the immigration issues in GC. I won't go into it here as this is a thread about Benidorm bit I think there is a few up-to-date posts about it so check them out if you want to 
I went to Benidorm about 12 years ago and had a BLAST. And people are right Benidorm has and will probably always be a p**s up holiday for people and that doesn't really make good swinging. |

Cap d’Agde has to be the place to go in the summer for swingers, short flight and everything you need in one place
We are looking to go to PDI in the winter months ( covid allowing )for some sun and fun |

As I said before the Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians Etc abandoned the place years ago. And that is why for swingers PDI will always come out on top.
To be fair PDI has its problems as well. Last time we visited we thought a lot of it looked very run down and was well overdue a makeover. Also reading some of the posts on this site and the German site we use. Migrants are becoming a growing problem for the tourist industry there.
However it seems to have become the go to place for swingers from all over Europe, especially in the winter.
So for a boozy weekend in the warmer months then Benidorm is your place.
For swinging in the Autumn/Winter/Spring the it has to be PDI.
For swinging in the summer.....There is only one Cap d'Agde but that is another subject altogether.

UPDATE
As previously advised, another haunt for the party people is undergoing a revamp right now. CAYMAN BAR. Can’t quite see how substantial the work is going to be, although the Beach terrace has been gutted. We hear it’s yet another upgrade to encourage a higher class of clientele. Never really been a cheap n nasty kind of venue, although it’s always been a must if your visiting Beni. |

Just a figure of speech, if it offends you it will be the highlight of our day. As it goes, we visit Tiki beach/City often & as residents here we fully understand the set up. The majority (not all) of British stags, hens, groups visiting Benidorm should be lashed for bringing disgrace on our Nation. Try telling the people who live near Tiki beach they should move somewhere else to avoid the disgusting behavior of a minority of drug/drink fueled Brits. |

"To be honest if they change the strip especially Sinatra’s I would stop going and I think a lot of people would
Even if it changed for the better? - there are a lot of people in and around Benidorm who hate the d*unken antics of some British visitors and would welcome a change for the better"
There’s a real possibility of ‘be careful what you wish for’
Change the very essence of what people go to Benidorm and they may stop coming with no guarantee that anyone will replace them. |

The beach front bars have all been there 40+ years now.
If someone was living there before the bars opened then they have my genuine sympathy for what they have to put up with.
If they moved in close to the bars at any time since then they don’t have my sympathy, what did they expect when they moved there?
That’s the worst kind of nimbyism, moving somewhere that a bar/club was already existing then complaining about it and its customers. I’d that’s what you think, why move there in the first place? |

WESTERN SALOON
No sign yet of the Western Saloon being re-built on its original location. The general consensus says it is due to be built on the opposite corner of the Hotel Ambassador. The area has long been used for storage & bulders yard. The site is located opposite Morgan’s tavern. The regulars will know the concrete stations have been there for years. Only rumors folks, sounds like a smart move though. |

That was what I was thinking when I heard the old place had been demolished.
I've always wondered why such a prime site on that corner has been unused for so many years. I think it would be perfect. |

"Love the Western bar it was said above it is dated I would say it has character."
Apparently, the rumor that the new Western Saloon would be built on the opposite side of Hotel Ambassodor, are untrue. It is to be rebuilt on the same site. |

Last time in Benidorm we put a post on here, arranged to meet in a well known bar.
Loads of timewasters but about 10 couples showed up and a few single guys, had a great night.
Always gave Cupidos a visit, sad to see it go.
Always thought a bar in the gay area would become swinger friendly.

"I've booked Benners 29th Aug -5th September looking for recommendations and hopefully meets. Can send face/body pics"
If you mean recommendations for swinger friendly bars or swinger clubs then there are none.
Since the closure of Cupido and more recently the El Sofa cinema Benidorm is now 99% vanilla.
For meets it will be pretty much what you can arrange on here.
Some people go on about the back bar in Cafe Benidorm but from our experience it is more of a myth than a reality.
That pretty much makes up the odd 1%. |

"Some fantastic pictures of the new look Hotel Ambassador, Benidorm. Check out the groups on Benidorm FB pages. The images are computer raised, but, portray the Hotel as ultra modern."
Walked passed it yesterday and is looking like a massive building site. They are doing a lot of new build to both hotels. Like you say will be quite impressive when finished. |

As previously mentioned, Benidorm so called ‘British square’ is now like a demolition site. Installation of new water mains, sewerage & drainage is well underway. Most of the Spanish residents have detested the area for many years, nicknaming it “‘Guirilandia”. Now the bars, Restaurants, clubs, Hotels, in fact most businesses have put signs up everywhere “ Benidorm te Espera” !!
