Benidorm Weather in March

What's the weather like in Benidorm in March?

Benidorm has quite typical Mediterranean weather due to its location on the southeast coast of Spain. Temperatures are rising after the mild winter as spring takes hold in March; if you plan your Benidorm holidays at this time you'll get plenty of warm and sunny weather, away from the busier crowds of summer.

Geographical influences

Benidorm’s weather’s made even better by the mountains that surround the city, which protect it from winds and bring warmer and clearer conditions than other places in this part of Spain. The city has well over 300 sunny days each year, and the south-facing beach gets the most out of the spring sunshine hours. The Sahara Desert can sometimes send over dust storms in March, which are most likely when seasons are changing.
