Arenal d'en Castell holidays

Arena d’en Castell holidays take you to an off-the-beaten-track paradise on Menorca’s northern coast. There’s a Blue Flag bay for sunbathing stints, and putting pros will love the proximity to the Son Parc golf course. Hiking Monte Toro is also on the cards, but we won’t judge if you’d rather sit back, relax and soak up the authentic island atmosphere, either.

What to expect in Arenal d'en Castell

If you’re after a picturesque holiday setting, Arenal d’en Castell has you covered. The town sits on a stretch of rugged northern Menorcan coastline, so there’s plenty of cliffside scenery, and the surrounding woodland gives the place a nice relaxed feel. Waterfront bars and restaurants provide a lively evening atmosphere once the sun dips, too, so you can channel a proper authentic island vibe while sipping your sangria.

Arenal d'en Castell beaches

Arena d’en Castell’s main beach is Playa Arenal d’en Castell. It sits in a horseshoe-shaped bay, where shallow swimming waters lap the shoreline. Family-friendly beach facilities, like snack bars and sunloungers, are in good supply, and watersports equipment is usually up for hire. If you like your strolls with sea views, walks along the coves of Cala Presili or Cala Tirant are popular, too.

Things to do in Arenal d'en Castell

You won’t be short of things to do in Arenal d’en Castell. Son Parc is an 18-hole golf course where you can work on your swing, and there are tennis courts to the east of the town. Coastal walking trails loop around the shorelines, too – Na Macaret, a nearby fishing village, is just a 30-minute stomp away. And, of course, you’ve got the local Arena d’en Castell shops to spend your euros in.

Daytrips from Arenal d'en Castell

Active holiday-goers often use Arena d’en Castell as a base for exploration. If you want to see Menorca’s more rural side, Es Mercadal daytrips are well worth doing. This teeny town is just a 20-minute drive away, and you can start Monte Toro hikes from here. Plus, shops sell amargos, or almond macaroons, so you can grab some as a pre-trek snack. Excursions to Mahon, the capital city, are on the cards, too. There, you can visit the Xoriguer gin distillery, snap pics of the Georgian architecture and sample the harbour-side dining scene.
