Benidorm Invests in Affordable Housing for the Future
Benidorm is making a decisive move to tackle its housing challenges. Under the Plan VIVE program, the city has announced the construction of 117 new social rental apartments in the Poniente district, scheduled to be completed by 2026.
According to Sebastián Fernández, the regional housing secretary, this project marks the most significant public housing initiative in Benidorm in over a decade.
Supporting Young People Through the “Bono Joven de Alquiler”
The housing project is closely linked with the “Bono Joven de Alquiler” (Youth Rental Voucher), a government initiative that has already helped over 5,100 young people across the Valencian Community — including nearly 200 in the Marina Baixa region. The scheme provides direct rental assistance and long-term stability for young professionals and families struggling with high rents.
Why This Matters for Benidorm
- ✅ Long-term affordability: apartments will be leased for up to 75 years, ensuring stability for future generations.
- ✅ Stronger community: by supporting local youth, the project helps balance the city’s focus on tourism with real social infrastructure.
- ✅ Sustainable urban planning: Benidorm is showing that it’s more than beaches and nightlife; it’s a city investing in residents as well as visitors.
For decades, Benidorm has been known as a global holiday hotspot. With this new investment, the city is proving that it also cares about the quality of life of its own residents. This is a game-changing step in urban development, balancing tourism growth with affordable housing solutions.
