The Best Way to Experience November in Benidorm for the British Fancy Dress
The Benidorm Fancy Dress Party in November is Europe’s largest costume event, held annually on the Thursday after the British November Fiesta. For golfers, it’s the perfect time to book Benidorm golf holidays, combining discounted green fees with the town’s wildest street party. To make it stress-free, use Benidorm golf club hire to avoid lugging gear through the crowds and book private golf transfers to get you from the course straight to the heart of the action on Calle Gerona.
Trade the Pullover for a Pilot Suit
While the UK is shivering in November, Benidorm is just heating up. Imagine finishing a round at Melia Villaitana in the afternoon sun and heading straight into a sea of 30,000 people dressed as anything from superheroes to giant inflatable flamingos. At Union Jack Golf Benidorm, we think there is no better week of the year to be a golfer in the Costa Blanca.
Why November is Prime Time for Golfers
November offers some of the best golfing weather in Spain—warm enough for shorts but cool enough to walk 18 holes without breaking a sweat.
The Logistics of the Party Week
Planning a trip during the Fancy Dress week requires a bit of “tactical genius,” as our bookings specialist Anita would say.
Stay Central: We offer the best centrally located discounted Benidorm hotels, ranging from B&B to All-inclusive.
Travel Light: With the streets packed, don’t struggle with your own clubs. Our premium TaylorMade club hire on Calle Gerona means you can pick up your gear and drop it off right where the party starts.
Door-to-Course Service: Our drivers, like Tina, Dawn and Rachel will navigate the road closures for you in our new fleet of vehicles.
Course Selection for the Festive Week
You want courses that offer a great atmosphere and even better 19th holes. Here are our top picks for November:
Local Resident Tip: During Fancy Dress Thursday, the area around Calle Gerona and Levante Beach becomes a pedestrian-only zone by midday. If you’re playing golf that morning, make sure your golf transfer is booked for an early return, or you’ll be walking the last half-mile in your golf spikes!
