2.Benidorm: Show at Benidorm Palace

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 848 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $42

Spend 2.5 hours at Benidorm Palace watching ELEMENTS, a Vegas-style production built around earth, water, fire, and air. An international cast performs dance, magic, acrobatics, and live music beneath huge 8K LED screens. You can add dinner or snacks through the venue, but this ticket covers the show only, with drinks extra.

“The show was good. I didn’t need to show my passes as they were already in Benidorm Palaces computer, just gave my name. Seating was good and was able to see the show without obstruction. I thought the drinks may have been expensive but they were very reasonable. Getting a taxi after the show can be a little frantic. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed the show, a lot of work has gone into it from lights, music, costumes etc.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 256 reviews · 1 hour · from $18

Spend one hour at Palacio Flamenco, near Plaza Nueva, watching live singing, guitar, and dance from a small, intimate tablao.

“To be honest, I went to this with my wife, as she was keen to go but I was less so. How wrong I was!! It was an incredible performance of Guitar, song and Dance and the venue is lovely, with only about 30 seats, so it is intimate. If you have any interest in the arts - don't miss the passionate and excellent show.”

Spend about 90 minutes watching Legong Kraton, a classical Balinese court dance at Ubud Palace.

The palace courtyard adds atmosphere, but seating is limited, so arrive about 45 minutes early, or sooner for the best view.

“The dance and performance were captivating. It was hard to look away once it started. Seating at the palace is extremely limited so I recommend getting there maybe an hour early to get a good seat.”
