Gemelos 26, Residential towers in Levante Beach area, Benidorm, Spain
Gemelos 26 is a residential complex of two identical towers in Benidorm, each 114 metres tall with 33 floors, built from 2007 to 2009 to designs by architects Gabriel Sanchis Lambies and Fernando Bausa. The roofline ends in a glass peak at the rear and a square block of exposed concrete at the front. The grounds hold a tennis court, three paddle courts, a children's playground, a palm-planted garden and two pools, one heated.
Gemelos 26 was built between 2007 and 2009 to designs by architects Gabriel Sanchis Lambies and Fernando Bausa. The two identical towers, Torre 1 and Torre 2, rose during Benidorm's early 21st-century high-rise expansion. At 114 metres they became Spain's second-tallest twin towers, behind the Torres de Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (120 m) and just ahead of Puerta de Europa in Madrid.
The name Gemelos ("twins") is a brand used by several tower complexes in Benidorm, such as Coblanca, and Gemelos 26 is the tallest of them. Many of its apartments are let to holidaymakers, so the towers are part of the rental market around Levante Beach rather than year-round homes.
The complex sits about 750 metres from Levante Beach, so the walk to the sand takes a few minutes. On-site there are a tennis court, three padel courts, a children's play area, gardens with palms and two pools, one of them heated. Access to the pools and sports facilities is reserved for residents and their guests.
Gemelos 26 is the tallest complex under Benidorm's "Gemelos" tower brand, which also includes buildings such as Coblanca. Its roofline mixes a glass peak at the rear with a square block of exposed concrete at the front. Most of its units are let as holiday rentals.
