Things To Do on El Arenal Holidays
Exercise fanatics will enjoy the walk between the three resorts of C'an Pastilla, Playa de Palma and El Arenal as they are joined by a wide and pedestrianised promenade. If you want a change of scenery, take a 15 minute bus trip to Palma as there is plenty to keep you occupied for a day. Palma has a depth of history, culture and nightlife but if you want to see most of Palma in a day, there is a number 50 sightseeing bus which takes you to all the major sights in the city.
Back in El Arenal why not practice your golfing skills at the Golf Fantasia mini golf course where you can test your skills over 54 Jurassic Park themed holes. If you still have energy left, the biggest water park in Majorca is situated just on the outskirts of the resort. Aqualand el Arenal is open through the summer months until October but be aware of queues if you visit in the summer. There's plenty to keep you occupied whether you're on holidays in El Arenal by yourself, as a couple or with your family.
Culture
Majorca's history is diverse to say the least. Throughout history the island has been subject to occupation by various empires, each leaving a distinct footprint in terms of architecture, culture, language and traditions. This is what we can see today, even if tourism is now a big part of the island's culture.
There is a street market in El Arenal held every Thursday offering many unique gifts for you to take home and plenty of bargains too! Those who want to indulge in Majorca's culture should head to nearby Palma.
June is a great time to take your Majorca holidays as there is a fantastic festival held every year in Cala Millor called the Son Serva Fair that isn't to be missed. If you are visiting in August, head to nearby Palma and spend a day drooling with envy at the international yachting regatta.
Nightlife
The Joy Palace is a favourite with people aged between 20 and 30 as they play a selection of today's most popular dance, latino and house music. There are plenty of bars and restaurants for those looking for a more quiet affair. The restaurants serve different cuisines ranging in price with everything from Chinese and Indian to English and Spanish cuisine on offer.
While there is no shortage of clubs in El Arenal, it is well worth the trip to the party resorts of Magalluf or Santa Ponsa.
