Benidorm Stag Do Budget Guide — What It Actually Costs (2026)

Benidorm is the UK's cheapest stag do destination — but "cheap" still adds up. This guide breaks down exactly what a 3-night Benidorm stag costs in 2026, using real prices from real bookings. Numbers are per person for a group of 10, unless noted.

The headline number: £250–400pp

That's the all-in range for a 3-night Benidorm stag in 2026, flying from a UK regional airport, staying in a Levante Beach hotel, and doing a typical itinerary (bar crawl, boat party, strip clubs, 3 nights out).

• Budget group: £230–270pp (off-peak flights, self-catering apartment, pre-drinks)
• Standard group: £300–350pp (all-inclusive hotel, one boat party, strip entry)
• Premium group: £400–500pp (beachfront hotel, multiple activities, VIP club entry)

Flights: £30–120

Alicante is the closest airport (45 min to Benidorm by shuttle). Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 and Wizz all fly daily from every UK regional airport.

• Cheapest months: November–March, £30–60 return
• Mid-season: April–June, Sept–Oct, £60–90 return
• Peak: July–August, £100–180 return
• Book: 8–12 weeks ahead for best prices

Accommodation: £60–200pp for 3 nights

Benidorm has three accommodation tiers:

• Self-catering apartments: £20–30pp/night (Old Town or Rincón de Loix). Best for groups of 6+ who want space.
• All-inclusive hotels: £40–70pp/night (Flash, Magic Villa, Presidente, Sol Pelícanos). Food and drinks included — huge savings.
• Beachfront 4-star: £70–100pp/night (Hotel Bali, Deloix, Asia Gardens). Premium option.

For most stags, all-inclusive is the sweet spot — you save money on day drinking and breakfast, and the hotel pool becomes the daytime HQ.

Food: £60–100pp for 3 days

• Full English breakfast on the strip: €5–8
• Bar lunch (burger, chips, pint): €10–14
• Sit-down dinner (tapas, steak, seafood): €18–30
• Kebab or late-night pizza: €4–7

All-inclusive hotels cut this to about £20pp total for 3 days (just pay for nights out).

Drinks: £50–150pp

• Pint on Calle Gerona: €2.50–4
• Spirit + mixer: €4–6
• Jug of cocktail (4 pints): €10–15
• Club drinks: €6–10
• Shots: €2–3

Benidorm drinks are half the price of UK cities. A heavy-drinking stag night costs €30–50pp. Three nights out: £50–150pp total.

Activities: £30–100pp

• Benidorm Palace cabaret/drag show: €25–40 (dinner + show)
• Boat party with open bar: €25–40pp
• Peacock Island catamaran: €20–30pp
• Terra Mitica theme park: €35 entry
• Aqualandia water park: €32 entry
• Go-karting: €25–35pp for 15 minutes
• Jet ski hire: €40–60 per 30 min

Extras you'll forget to budget for

• Airport transfers: €10–15pp return (shared shuttle)
• Taxis at 4am: €5–15 per journey
• Matching stag t-shirts: £8–15pp
• Costume or mankini: £10–25
• Best man "surprise" budget: £30–60pp (shared)
• Travel insurance: £5–10pp
• Lost phone/hangover pharmacy trip: £10–30

Example 3-night budget: 10-person group

How to save £100pp easily

• Fly midweek (Tue/Wed) instead of Fri-Sun: saves £30–60 on flights
• Book 10+ weeks ahead: saves £20–40 on everything
• All-inclusive hotel: saves £30–50 on food/drink
• Drink on the strip not in clubs: saves €20–30/night
• Skip one activity (you don't need both the boat AND the theme park)

What about the photos?

Free. I Wasn't There is £3.99 for the whole trip — everyone on the group shares the cost, so it works out at less than 40p per person. Less than a pint in Benidorm Old Town, and nothing ends up in the wrong WhatsApp group.
