Top 10 Benidorm Skyscrapers Ranked (10 to 1)
10. Neguri Gane
Favoured by retirees and long-term expats, Neguri Gane (named after the exclusive Neguri neighbourhood in Getxo, Bilbao) offers spacious terraces, a quiet environment, and relaxed living.
Buyer Types: Long-term expats, retirees, quiet lifestyle seekers
Key Ranking Factors: Suitability for year-round living, spacious terraces, quiet location
Highlights:
- Offers the most spacious terraces among older towers
- Best quiet prestige address for mature buyers
- Ideal for full-time living
Drawbacks: While it was one of the first “prestige” towers in Benidorm, some flats feel older and lack a more open-plan living. It offers fewer amenities than newer complexes, and is a further walk from the beach than most others in this list. The tower also shows signs of ageing, and has seen extensive repairs and waterproofing measures in recent years. Its amenities and recreational facilities are relatively modest when compared with more recent high-rise projects.
Neguri Gane appeals mostly to buyers who want a calm, residential environment with ample space, away from busy tourist spots. While not the top rental performer, it offers good lifestyle quality.
9. Kronos
Popular with professionals and digital nomads, Kronos offers better value than other towers in this list and a quieter location.
Buyer Types: Young professionals, digital nomads, value seekers
Key Ranking Factors: Modern design, build quality, and price-value ratio
Highlights:
- Best for professionals and digital nomads
- Growing demand
- Offers good value for modern living
Drawbacks:
Not on the beachfront, and views can be partially obstructed by other towers. A bit overshadowed now by the newer towers on this list. Despite its relatively new age, the façade has already required refurbishment due to poor material choices, and has lead to issues with humidity and energy inefficiency.
Kronos offers a sleek design, spacious surroundings, and a quiet location. It will suit buyers who prioritize quality and space ahead of prime coastal location.
8. Gemelos 22+26 and Gemelos 28
Popular among Northern Europeans for holidays. These 4 towers are known for reliable rental income and ease of resale.
Buyer Types: Holidaymakers, rental investors, Northern European buyers
Key Ranking Factors: Rental potential, proximity to Levante beach, affordability
Highlights:
- Closest to the sea on the Levante side (especially Gemelos 28)
- Most popular for holiday rentals among Northern Europeans
- Reliable rental income and easy resell
Drawbacks:
While popular with Northern European buyers, the older buildings (especially 22 and 26) show signs of age, and many units need updates. Large holiday crowds and short-term lets reduce privacy and peace during peak season. Owners in Gemelos 22 + 26 report unauthorized entries into apartments, thefts, and concerns about security measures. There are also complaints about noise disturbances from nearby establishments. Gemelos 28 has been in a legal dispute since 2017, with the Supreme Court who has ordered its demolition (it encroaches into a protected coastal area). Due to these legal issues, potential buyers may face resale challenges for properties in Gemelos 28.
Gemelos towers appeal to holiday homeowners who are focused on convenience and rental returns. There are large investor risks and potentially expensive updates. Not recommended.
7. Torre Lugano
Boasting the highest altitude above sea level in Benidorm, apartments in Torre Lugano offer some of the best panoramic views of the city and coastline. They feature modern finishes, contemporary layouts, and spacious terraces.
Buyer Types: Sea view lovers, full-time residents, investors seeking views
Key Ranking Factors: Highest elevation, panoramic views, spacious interiors
Highlights:
- Highest elevation in Benidorm (hilltop position)
- Best panoramic views over Levante and city skyline
- Underrated value proposition
Drawbacks:
The location sits high above sea level, which offers good views, but it’s a long walk to the beach. Some interiors now feel slightly dated compared to newer builds. Several problems reported by owners include water leaks, dampness, flooding in the garages, and inconsistent water pressure on higher floors. High maintenance and community fees. Concerns regarding humidity and energy efficiency.
Torre Lugano combines sweeping vistas, and spacious layouts. It is a favourite among residents wanting a balance of city life and nature.
6. Gran Delfín Residential & Hotel
A unique mixed-use development combining luxury residences with a branded hotel. It boasts a prime frontline Poniente location and panoramic sea views.
Buyer Types: Ultra-luxury investors, second-home owners, hotel service seekers
Key Ranking Factors: Location, hotel-residence mix, prestige, luxury amenities
Highlights:
- Best hotel + residential mixed-use in Poniente
- Prime frontline Poniente location with panoramic sea views
- Strong sustainability and brand backing
Drawbacks:
The shared facilities with hotel guests and common access points will mean reduced privacy for residents, more transient visitors, more noise, less summer parking, and less of a community feel.
This project combines upscale living with hotel services, perfect for buyers wanting a blend of luxury, location, and long-term investment.
5. Sunset Sailors I & II
Modern, energy-efficient towers with smart-home and energy efficient features. It has generated strong early market demand from design-conscious buyers.
Buyer Types: Modern design enthusiasts, energy-conscious buyers, investors
Key Ranking Factors: Sustainability, modern amenities, rising demand
Highlights:
- Strong early market interest and rental potential
- Energy-efficient, sustainable development
Drawbacks:
Many apartments lack the large terraces and panoramic sea views found in neighbouring projects. Although priced comparably to Delfin Tower and Sunset Cliffs, Sunset Sailors lacks the architecture and prestige factor of those projects.
Sunset Sailors attract buyers focused on future-proof living with a high lifestyle quality.
4. Sunset Waves
This is the newest fully operational resort-style complex in Benidorm that offers perhaps the best amenities per euro spent. It attracts lifestyle buyers and rental investors alike.
Buyer Types: Families, lifestyle buyers, rental investors
Key Ranking Factors: Facilities quality, rental track record, community feel
Highlights:
- Good value proposition
- Perfect for families (pools, playgrounds, and social spaces)
Drawbacks:
Heavily oriented to vacation rentals, so pools and communal areas experience congestion in summer. Some owners say soundproofing could be better, and report that interior finishes (especially in kitchens and bathrooms) feel basic. Communal spaces are often noisy, more orientated for families with children, and less ideal for couples or retirees who seek a quieter or more refined adult atmosphere.
Sunset Waves blends lifestyle and investment appeal, and caters well to families and part-time residents who visit outside of summer.
3. Sunset Drive
Famous for its strong rental yields and excellent range of facilities, Sunset Drive consistently ranks highest among investors who seek reliable holiday rental income.
Buyer Types: Rental investors, holiday homeowners, families
Key Ranking Factors: Rental yield, occupancy rates, family-friendly design
Highlights:
- Most popular with rental investors
- Proven track record on platforms like Airbnb
- Best family-friendly amenities
Drawbacks:
Some buyers report strict community rules and higher service charges. Limited availability means strong buyer competition drives up prices. Several residents have reported noise issues due to inadequate soundproofing between apartments. Very popular with holidaymakers in summer, so expect busy pools, gyms, and common areas. Though marketed as luxury, some buyers have noted that kitchens and bathrooms can feel more mid-range.
Sunset Drive, in general, ranks high for rental returns and resident satisfaction.
2. Delfin Tower
Benidorm’s most expensive real estate per square metre, and located steps from Poniente Beach. It boasts LEED Gold sustainable certification.
NOTE: Rentals are limited to long-term leases only (minimum 3 months).
Buyer Types: High-net-worth individuals, exclusivity seekers, beachfront lovers
Key Ranking Factors: Price per square metre, exclusivity, beachfront location
Highlights:
- Most expensive per square metre in Benidorm
- Closest to the beach among skyscrapers
- Ultra-exclusive tower with only 44 units
Drawbacks:
Ultra-high-end price per m² and very limited stock makes this inaccessible to most. Some buyers say it lacks a community vibe. It offers compact living spaces when compared to similar-priced apartments in Intempo or Sunset Drive. Holiday lets are not permitted, which limits income-generating potential for investors. Limited parking for second vehicles or visitors.
Delfin Tower is the ultimate luxury address for buyers who want sustainable, smart living right on Poniente Beach.
1. Intempo
Spain’s tallest residential skyscraper is instantly recognisable by its gold “M” shape. Intempo sees the most monthly searches in Google for luxury apartments and is the most sought-after tower by prestige buyers and investors.
Buyer Types: Luxury investors, international buyers, prestige seekers
Key Ranking Factors: Iconic architecture, tallest residential building, resale value
Highlights:
- Most iconic and recognised tower in Benidorm
- Highest international demand
- Highest number of Google searches when compared with other skyscrapers in Benidorm
Drawbacks:
Steep price per square metre and high community fees. The location is slightly detached from central Poniente shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. Residents on upper floors often complain about wind noise. Some buyers and agents feel the marketing overshadows real-life practicality, and especially for long-term living.
Intempo remains the top choice for buyers and investors who prioritise prestige, views, and long-term capital appreciation.
