Travelling with a pet always involves planning, but when it's a bird, the options often seem more limited. However, more and more people want to share their holidays with their birds, and luckily, there are pet-friendly accommodations where this is possible. In this article, we're going to explore everything you need to know to organise a break to the Costa Blanca with your winged companion, including where to stay, how to prepare for your trip and what to consider so that you can both enjoy yourselves to the full.
Pet-friendly accommodation for birds on the Costa Blanca
For a long time, pet tourism focused almost exclusively on dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats. However, today we can confidently say that travelling with birds is becoming increasingly viable, as long as we know how to look carefully and choose accommodation that allows birds as pets.
On the Costa Blanca, a popular destination for its mild climate, quiet beaches and natural environment, we find places that have understood that birds are also part of the family. In particular, our accommodation.
Because yes, staying with a bird on holiday is not only possible, it can be a special experience if the environment is right.

What should a pet-friendly accommodation for birds have?
Not all pet-friendly accommodation is the same, and when it comes to birds, there are details that make all the difference. As responsible travellers, we must make sure that the chosen accommodation not only accepts our bird, but that it is prepared to receive it comfortably and safely.
Quiet and undisturbed environments
Birds are sensitive to stress. An environment with a lot of noise, the presence of other aggressive pets or constant movement of people can affect their wellbeing. For this reason, we recommend choosing small, family accommodation with few rooms, such as our Fonda in Benissa, where calm and relaxation reign.
Well ventilated rooms with natural light
Comfort also means bright, airy spaces that are conducive to the animal's rest. In our accommodation, the rooms are naturally ventilated and carefully decorated to evoke tranquillity.
Flexibility and understanding of staff
Travelling with a bird involves certain particularities: transport, cage, food, etc. It is therefore essential that the accommodation staff is familiar with this type of guest and is understanding and flexible.
Tips for travelling with your bird to the Costa Blanca
However, beyond accommodation, it is important to prepare the trip in advance. Here are some tips that will make the experience enjoyable for both you and your bird.
Use a suitable and comfortable carrier
Before you set off on your journey, make sure your bird has a secure carrier or travel cage with sufficient space and ventilation. If possible, get your bird used to the carrier a few days beforehand to reduce stress during the journey.
Bring your usual food and items
Although in our accommodation we can help you with whatever you need, it is advisable that you bring their usual food, water bowl and a familiar toy or accessory to give them a sense of security.
Control temperature and sun exposure
The Costa Blanca is sunny, but it is essential that you avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or sudden changes in temperature.
Consult your veterinarian before your trip
A visit to the vet before travelling is always advisable. This will ensure that your bird is in good condition and that you can get some advice specific to its species or character.
Why choose the Costa Blanca for your bird holiday?
We know that choosing the right destination is as important as finding the right accommodation. And the Costa Blanca is one of the best options for those who want a relaxing holiday with their pet.
Mild climate all year round
The Mediterranean climate means that the birds do not suffer extreme temperature changes. This makes it easier for them to adapt during the journey.
Natural environments ideal for relaxation
Walks among pine trees, visits to viewpoints, small parks and gardens... Even if your bird does not leave its cage, the environment has a positive influence on its mood.
Variety of veterinary services and specialised shops
In towns such as Calpe, Benissa or Moraira, you will find professionals with experience in birds, in case you need help during your stay.
