Heatwave in Benidorm: Official Recommendations from 112 Comunitat Valenciana

To prevent heatstroke and enjoy without incident, we ask you to exercise extreme caution and follow these simple guidelines:

• Avoid sun exposure during the central hours of the day. (especially between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM). The early morning hours and late afternoon are the most suitable times for walking, exercising, visiting the city, or enjoying the beach with children.
• Drink plenty of fluids continuously, even if you don't feel thirsty (prioritize water and natural juices; avoid excessive alcoholic, sugary, or highly caffeinated drinks, as they promote dehydration). Young children and the elderly may not correctly identify their need for hydration, so it is advisable to offer them fluids frequently.
• Do not engage in intense exercise outdoors during the hottest hours.
• Wear cool clothing and use sun protection: clothing should be light, loose-fitting, breathable, and light-colored. It is also advisable to use: A hat or cap, sunglasses, high-factor sunscreen, comfortable and cool footwear, a sun umbrella, or elements that provide shade. Sunscreen should be applied before sun exposure and reapplied regularly, especially after bathing or heavy sweating.
• Take special care of the most vulnerable groups: the elderly, chronically ill, and young children.
• Always seek official information and heed the warnings of local authorities.

• Take a refreshing dip in our water park and pool. Nothing beats a cooling swim to combat the orange level. Our outdoor pool and water park area with slides are the perfect refuge for the little ones (and not-so-little ones) during the morning or late afternoon. We also have a shaded area for safe relaxation. We recommend alternating swims in the pool with breaks in the shade, and don't forget to frequently protect areas like your shoulders, back, face, and head with sunscreen or clothing.

• Instant hydration at the Poolside Snack Bar. Remember that drinking fluids is vital. You can order your favorite water, soft drink, or slushie directly at our pool bar without needing to move.

• Air-conditioned areas for the hottest hours. During the central hours of the day, we suggest taking a break from sun exposure. You can comfortably shelter in:
  -Our air-conditioned Buffet Restaurant while enjoying a fresh and light meal.
  -Your air-conditioned room for a restorative nap or a moment of relaxation.
  -Our Spa & Wellness Area, ideal for disconnecting at a pleasant temperature while pampering yourself.
