Situated on the south coast of Mallorca, on the eastern side of Playa de Palma, is one of the most happening beach resorts of the region, El Arenal. The resort is a stone’s throw from the airport of Son Sant Joan and can easily be reached by buses and taxis from the airport. The nearest town is that of Palma, which is situated 10km away.
Abuzz with life, this beach town is immensely popular with youngsters, who throng the place looking for sun, fun and sangria. There are plenty of things to do on your El Arenal holidays, those looking for a relaxing afternoon can simply wander around the palm-lined promenade, read a book or sip cocktails under one of the many Balnearios, or open-air shacks. Those who like a little more adventure can check out the watersports, discover the local markets selling fresh local produce, or enjoy a day trip to Palma for its variety of shops.
Holidays in El Arenal are never complete without a mandatory trip to one of the many nightclubs of the region. Venues such as Paseo Maritimo, La Lonja and Santa Catalina are famous for their lively night scene. If you've got the kids in tow, try out the Arenal waterpark or take a trip to the Palma Aquarium for a close encounter with amazing underwater creatures. Filled with invigorating fun and adventure, a holiday in El Arenal is the perfect way to enjoy your summer break.
