The beautiful Mediterranean resort of El Arenal.

El Arenal, S'Arenal, or simply the Arenal resort, is one of the favourite destinations on the Mallorca Balearic Island, especially among the German tourists (it is worth mentioning that in El Arenal there are lots of Germans coming).

But where exactly is El Arenal located? With just over 16 thousand inhabitants, the beautiful resort of El Arenal is located along the south-central coast, between the capital, Palma, and Lluchmayor. In fact, it is very close to the Son Sant Joan International Airport, the airport of Mallorca, so it is easily accessible. You will practically land in Palma and in a few minutes you will be able to rest in your hotel (or in a comfortable lounge by the sea, of course).

As it could not be otherwise, being located on one of the most famous coasts of the island, El Arenal has an extensive beach about 6 km long, known as the Playa de Palma.

The weather in El Arenal

Some wonder, are there any rainy days here? Sometimes it does, the surely whenever you come, you can enjoy a splendid sunny day or very mild and warm temperatures.

In El Arenal, weather is characterized by the magnificent Mediterranean climate, hot summers, little rain and warm temperatures during most of the year. In fact, in Mallorca you enjoy an average of 300 days of sunshine per year. S'Arenal is undoubtedly a great destination to visit at any time of the year, although it is more popular in the summer months and among those seeking a holiday full of activity and fun.

Playa de Palma, a great beach of S’Arenal

The visit to El Arenal would be nothing without going to the famous Playa de Palma beach, which is about 6 km long. If you love the sun, the white and fine sand, and you want to enjoy a full day at the beach, this beach is made for you. It is a very popular beach, so in summer it is convenient to go soon if we want to take the best place and relax.

The beach of El Arenal is an ideal place to enjoy the sun, walks along the coast, drinking something fresh, and bathe in the sea at a very good temperature without leaving the capital. It is undoubtedly one of the best activities in Arenal, and a clear favourite among tourists and Majorcans!

Aqualand, a lot of aquatic fun 

Aqualand, the great Arenal water park, and one of the most famous in Majorca, is one of the main tourist attractions of the resort. Although it is also very popular among local people, there is no Majorcan who resists spending an afternoon full of fun sliding down its slides on a summer afternoon.

It is an ideal activity to enjoy with the whole family, friends or couples. Another way to have fun in a Mediterranean paradise. It has many attractions, including the Rapids, the Kamikaze, the Black Hole and the Surf Beach. There are not only aquatic attractions waiting for you, if you get hungry, there are also several stalls and a bar-restaurant where you can stop for a hamburger, a fresh salad or a creamy ice cream.
 
Oh! Do not forget that there is also an area to go to take pictures and have a nice memory of this special day, souvenir and other gift shops (sunscreen, towels, etc.), and parking. It has everything to spend a dream day! 

Visit Palma city

Although the tourist and residential complex of S'Arenal has a wide range of leisure and shopping options, the centre of Palma is just minutes away and as you know, it is a must during your stay. There is no excuse! Take a taxi or bus and go to the lively city, where you can visit the impressive Cathedral of Palma, the Almudaina Palace, the Museu d'es Baluard, the popular Santa Catalina neighbourhood, and endless shops for all tastes along the Passeig d'es Born and Jaime III Avenue.
