Arenal

El Arenal also known as ‘Arenal’ or ‘S’Arenal’ in Mallorquín is a high-octane village situated on the south coast of Mallorca on the eastern end of the six kilometer long ‘Playa de Palma’. Only 7 kilometres from the airport of Son Sant Joan and 15 kilometres east of the city of Palma, there is no better location for making the most of every minute of your holiday.

El Arenal was first populated by sandstone workers at the end of the 19th century who migrated from the inland city of Llucmajor. The first hotel was built in 1914 called the ‘Hotel Terminus’ and the town was also served by a small fishing dock. The area later blossomed in the 1950s and now merges completely with neighbouring coastal villages. Following the rapid development, Mallorcan authorities have on-going improvement plans for Arenal.

Today Arenal attracts many visitors in search of a beach, bar and clubbing style holiday, especially young 18-30 year old German internationals. Although not as notorious as Magaluf, Arenal can be noisy and rowdy. This makes it an ideal location if you want buzz and lots of things to do all day and night, but not the best choice if you are in search of peace and quiet
