Beaches
Arenal d’en Castell has one vast beach with white sands in a sheltered bay so with few waves. This makes it suitable for families with children. On the downside, this is one of the only resorts in the North of Menorca, so this beach is facing North. So if you are travelling later or early in the season, you might notice the sun setting pretty fast on this beach. On the left side of the beach, there is a tiny small hidden beach just behind the rocks.
Best hotels in Arenal d’en Castell
The only great hotel I could find here was the White Sands Beach Club by Diamond Resorts . There are some others as well, but they fall into the budget category.
Nightlife
There isn’t much nightlife in this area. Most of the nightlife takes place in the hotels itself and there are some bars and beach clubs open next to the beach late into the evening.
Things to do in Arenal d’en Castell
The area here is not very big, and being in the North of Menorca, your options are limited when it comes to things to do. However, one of the most interesting things to do there is visit the Marina Parc water park just outside the main resort area. Here you can find my complete list of things to do and not do in Menorca.
Restaurants & bars
Most of the restaurants and bars are easily located next to the beach. Pretty much all of them have great reviews and seem to offer good quality.
Is Arenal d’en Castell the right holiday destination for you?
Arenal d’en Castell has a beautiful beach and a small water park. Otherwise, this area has little to offer. If you want to spend time on the beach and find a good deal for any of the better hotels here, this is an excellent place for you. However, if you are travelling with small children or the elderly, know that this area is located against a pretty steep hill, so getting around might not be that easy.
