Benidorm Island (Valencian: L'illa de Benidorm, Spanish: La isla de Benidorm) is a small island and nature reserve of Spain, off the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The island is near the holiday town of Benidorm, sitting approximately 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) from the Spanish mainland. Tourists to the area can take boat trips from the mainland to the island to visit its wildlife, most notably its population of wild peacocks.

Benidorm Island no longer houses any peacocks however boat trips still run most days of the week. There are many fables regarding the island itself and how it got there including how a giant kicked a rock out of the mountain in anger which then landed in the sea.
