El Arenal

Beaches

JS Paradise Sport is only 300 metres from El Arenal beach, a 4,600-metre-long beach with fine white sand. The beach at El Arenal has a pleasant promenade more than 4 km long from which you can admire the city of Palma. It is popular among cyclists and skaters. This beach area has a wide range of leisure options available, including bars, restaurants and shops.

Only 500 metres from the hotel is another smaller and quieter beach, Caló de Sant Antoni, and a few kilometres further, in the municipality of Llucmajor, are Cala Pi, enclosed by a beautiful pine grove, and Cala Blava, a rocky cove with a deep blue hue to the water. These two are great places for snorkelling.

Natural corners

Close to El Arenal is a noteworthy natural space in the surroundings of Cap Blanc, one of the most incredible cliffs on the entire island, where the so-called “Marina” of Llucmajor is formed. This area has great natural value and wonderful landscapes.

Llucmajor also has the vastest cycling network in Mallorca, with more than 400 km of duly signposted cycling routes, both inland and along the coast. These routes boast amazing views of the neighbouring farmlands and the island of Cabrera.

Leisure and sports

El Arenal is the perfect destination for those who want to engage in outdoor activities while on holiday. The area is ideal for practising all kinds of water sports, such as sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, fishing or paddle surfing, as the S’Arenal Yacht Club is only a 5-minute walk away from the hotel. The Son Antem golf courses are only 10 km away and have state-of-the-art facilities for practising this sport. And if you want to spend some time in nature, it will only take you a few minutes to find yourself speeding along Llucmajor’s more than 400 km of cycling routes, which are also perfect for trekking.

JS Paradise Sport is a hotel often recommended for its centric location, only a short walk from recreational venues, with discos, bars, cafés and restaurants in the area’s 15 spas that are all practically on the beachfront. The most famous one is Balneario 6.

If you want to have a fun day out in Palma, you can visit the Aqualand water park (750 m), the Palma Aquarium (4 km) and Marineland (26 km).

Heritage and culture

The El Arenal market takes place every Thursday morning in the centre of town. Here you will find typical local products and souvenirs to take a nice memory of Mallorca back home with you.

In Llucmajor, you can appreciate a wide array of architectonic monuments, both civil and religious in nature. We recommend visiting the Talayotic settlement of Capocorb Vell; the Sanctuary of Nostra Senyora de Gracia (15th century); the monastery, cloister and church of Sant Bonaventura; and the parochial church of Sant Miquel (16th century).

And if you travel to the capital, make sure you visit Palma’s Gothic Cathedral, which is right by the bay; the Mallorca patios; Bellver Castle; the Jewish Quarter; and the Olivar and Santa Catalina gastronomic markets.
