Benidorm’s Sustainable Urban Planning Model

Sustainability: The Core of Benidorm’s Model

Benidorm’s unique geography, nestled between the sea and the mountains, has driven the city to grow vertically. This “vertical architecture” is, according to experts, more sustainable than low-density urban planning. Geographer and urban planner Antonio Giraldo recently compared Benidorm’s model with Marbella’s, concluding that Benidorm “consumes far less” land to house a similar population in peak season, making it a true “paradigm of sustainability”.

In addition to land conservation, this compact model enables an efficient use of utilities, from energy to water, reducing the ecological footprint per inhabitant. The concentration of services, beaches, and urban life within a single hub reduces the need for vehicles, contributing to sustainable mobility.

The city’s commitment to greener growth is reinforced by the recently approved Benidorm Urban Agenda, a roadmap with 10 strategic objectives for 2030. With a budget of €188 million, this municipal initiative promotes climate change adaptation, energy transition, and sustainable mobility, demonstrating that sustainability is a priority in local policy.

Investment in Benidorm’s Skyscrapers

The scarcity of new developments in the city has created a highly competitive market where demand for luxury properties far exceeds supply. This dynamic has driven price appreciation, with new builds and high-end properties in Benidorm expected to see growth of between 6% and 8% in 2025.

Intempo

This iconic skyscraper, the tallest in Benidorm, offers the exclusive “Diamond Residences” with luxury hotel-style services, from restaurants to a gym and spa. The limited availability of these units underpins asset value and consolidates Intempo as a high-end investment.
