The comedy Benidorm which ran for a total of 10 series followed the staff and visitors of the Solana Hotel, Benidorm. In this post we take a look at some of the Benidorm Filming Locations.
The Solana Hotel, Benidorm
The Solana Hotel I am afraid does not exist. But don’t panic, many of the locations you are used to seeing do exist and you can go and visit them. The tall building many of us have come to know as the Solana is in fact Sol Pelicanos Ocas Hotel. This was used as the external location of the main hotel building, and also where the pool, and pool bar shots were filmed.
The actual apartment shots were largely filmed in the Acuariam II Apartments as these directly overlooked the area of the pool most used for filming.
Neptunes isn’t located on the same complex, however Morgan Tavern which was used as the interior and exterior location of Neptunes for all 10 series is a short walk away.
