I was there same time last year, i was lucky! The week before i went they had a severe weather warning, but the day i arrived the sun was shining and did so for nearly the whole 2 weeks! I had shorts on during the day for every day apart from 2 days. It was quite chillit at night though.

Nearly all of the bars and restaurants were open but some were very quiet.

Trying 21oct this year.

We were in Benidorm in December 2003. It was lovely. We were even on the beach. So strange to be on a beach in December with the bars behind you playing christmas songs. Hoping to go again this December. The temperature does drop pretty quickly around 3pm. We got caught out by that a couple of times with shorts and t shirts on. Had to run in to a shop and buy a jumper.

We`ve been for xmas for the last 3 years and we are going again this xmas we love it.
For the first 2 years we had glorious weather,t shirts for the day and a carrdigan or jacket at night but Dec 04 wasn`t as nice we needed to be wrapped up most of the time but dry. Take a good mix of clothes and you`ll have a great time.
We`ve never had a problem with the bars there`s loads open.

I will be going to Benidorm on 1st December for a long weekend. I was looking at the Flamingo Oasis Hotel (all inclusive). Does anyone know if there are any pubs and clubs open near this hotel.

In general are there are pubs and clubs open for younger people. I've been to Benidorm once before in October and all I seen were small cafes everywhere. Where would I find all the action?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,

We were just wondering what the temperature for night and day are in Benidorm in December?? And what clothes would people suggest are sensible for the weather at night??

Thanks in advance.

We've been to Beni in December a few times. I usually opt for crop trousers and short or 3/4 sleeve t-shirts for the day (although a gilet can also be handy to take). You usually need a jacket at night - we take fleece jackets as they are light and warm.

On one occasion we did have drizzle which lasted a morning, but usually it's been sunny but cooling down from about 4p.m. So if you intend going out for the day and not returning until late afternoon/early evening, put a light jacket in your bag. :wave
