A British expat warns of rising drug-related violence in Benidorm’s tourist zone, despite overall crime dropping 21% in early 2025.
A British expat in Benidorm, Lucy Young, says a small area near the main tourist strip is plagued by drugs and violence, though she notes the overall crime rate has dropped 21% in early 2025 and remains low across the resort.
Despite official declines, she warns rising fears could deter loyal British visitors who return yearly, threatening the town’s future.
Another YouTuber, Just Deano, left after an unprovoked assault and harassment by drug dealers, calling the area a “crime-ridden hellhole.” Young remains confident Benidorm will stay popular in 2026 due to ongoing investments in hotels, bars, and infrastructure.
