Cannabis Social Clubs in Benidorm: Complete Guide
Benidorm’s skyline of high-rises and its two big beaches, Levante and Poniente, make it the best-known resort on the Costa Blanca — and with millions of British, Irish and Northern European visitors passing through every year, it’s also where a lot of first-time cannabis club visitors end up asking their first questions.
Benidorm’s Cannabis Social Club Scene
Happyday Cannabis Social Club sits just up the coast in Albir, in the greater Benidorm area, and it’s one of the better-reviewed clubs on this whole stretch of coast — rated 5/5 across 112 Google reviews. Like every private cannabis club in Spain, it operates as an Asociación Cannábica: a members-only association, not a shop, where cultivation and consumption stay strictly among registered adult members on private premises.
Given how tourist-heavy Benidorm is, it’s worth saying plainly: nothing about that changes for visitors. A club packed with holidaymakers is still a private club, and it still runs on membership, not footfall off the street.
Skip the Sign-Up Queue with a Green-Key Pass
Most people in Benidorm for a week don’t want to spend an afternoon of it filling in membership paperwork. A Green-Key pass gets around that: we tell the club you’re on your way ahead of time, so you arrive already expected and don’t pay that club’s own membership fee separately. One pass works across every verified club we list, so it covers Albir, the rest of Benidorm, and anywhere else on the Costa Blanca you visit on the same trip.
Where to Find a Club Near Benidorm
Happyday is technically in Albir, a quieter coastal town that blends into Benidorm’s northern edge — close enough to count as a Benidorm-area club, far enough to avoid the noisiest parts of the resort strip.

Getting to Albir from Benidorm
Benidorm sits on the TRAM Metropolitano d’Alacant light rail line, which runs along the coast connecting Alicante, Benidorm, Albir, Altea, Calpe and Denia — genuinely useful if you don’t want to hire a car for the trip. A taxi or rideshare from central Benidorm to Albir is a short, cheap run either way. If you’re flying in, Alicante–Elche Airport is roughly 45–60 minutes south by car or a longer but workable combination of bus and TRAM.
Club Etiquette for Benidorm Visitors
Benidorm’s holiday atmosphere is easy to bring inside with you by accident, but a cannabis club isn’t an extension of the bar strip. You need to be 18+ and an actual member, whether that’s arranged directly or through a Green-Key pass. Once you’re in, treat it as the private space it legally is: no photos of other members, nothing you’re given inside leaves with someone who isn’t a member, and no stepping out to the street to smoke, since public consumption is exactly what puts a club’s licence at risk. The relaxed, social vibe these clubs are known for depends on everyone respecting that it’s genuinely private.
Best Time to Visit
Benidorm runs busy for most of the year, but July and August push everything — clubs included — to their busiest. If you’d rather have a quieter, more personal visit, spring or late autumn gives you Benidorm’s mild climate without the peak-season crowds, and clubs tend to have more time for new members during those months.
FAQ
Is Happyday actually in Benidorm or somewhere else?
It’s in Albir, a smaller town that borders Benidorm’s northern edge. Locals treat it as part of the same greater area, and it’s a short, easy trip from central Benidorm either by TRAM or taxi.
Can I turn up to a Benidorm cannabis club without booking anything?
No — membership comes first, tourist resort or not. Apply directly with the club ahead of time, or use a Green-Key pass so you’re already confirmed before you arrive.
Do I need a car to get from Benidorm to a club in Albir?
No. The TRAM light rail connects the two directly, and it’s a short, inexpensive taxi ride if you’d rather skip public transport.
Is Benidorm too touristy for a genuine cannabis club experience?
The clubs themselves don’t change with the season or the crowd outside — they’re still small, member-based spaces regardless of how busy Benidorm’s beaches get. If you want it quieter, visit outside July and August.
