Sa Mirada

Sa Mirada is an apartment hotel set on a hillside in a quiet, rural area of Arenal d'en Castell. This small resort town is on the northern coast of the Spanish Balearic island of Menorca. The hotel is a short stroll from the beach. From Sa Mirada's pool and terrace area, you can enjoy views over the sea and the green headland. You can relax by the water with a cool drink from the pool bar. There's also a shallower children's section in the pool, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Sa Mirada has a buffet restaurant. The apartments are steps away from Isla Paraiso hotel, and guests can take advantage of all the facilities there, including occasional evening entertainment for adults. There's also kids' entertainment. The main beach at Arenal d'en Castell is sandy and sheltered, so the waters are generally calm. There are several beach restaurants where you can get drinks and snacks. Arenal d'en Castell itself is a modern resort with plenty of places to eat, and some supermarkets. The island's capital, Mahon, is driving distance away, and has a daily market selling clothing and leather goods, plus regular fish markets and artisan markets full of souvenirs, crafts and jewellery.
