Open-plan living has become one of the most requested renovation styles among Benidorm homeowners, opening up spaces to make the most of natural light and indoor-outdoor living. Here's how to approach it.
Why Open Plan Works So Well on the Costa Blanca
Open-plan layouts suit the Mediterranean lifestyle particularly well, connecting kitchen, dining and living spaces — and often extending out to a terrace — to make the most of the climate and natural light in Benidorm.
What's Involved
- Assessing which walls are load-bearing before removing them
- Installing structural beams (RSJs) where walls are removed
- Reworking electrics and lighting for the new open layout
- Considering flooring continuity across the new combined space
- Connecting indoor living areas to outdoor terraces where possible
Planning Permission Considerations
Removing internal walls in a Benidorm property may require a building licence depending on the scope and whether the walls are structural — we handle this assessment and any necessary paperwork as part of your project.
Bringing the Space Together
A well-planned open layout balances openness with defined zones for cooking, dining and relaxing. We're happy to talk through layout options specific to your Benidorm property during a site visit.
