About Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark

Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark suits families with children and couples who want a base with plenty to fill the day. It is a three-star hotel in Arenal d'en Castell on Menorca's north coast, 0.7 km from the near-circular bay of pale sand. The listed facilities lean towards activity: a tennis court and mini golf, a playground and games room, aerobics, yoga and water sports, plus an outdoor pool and pool bar for slow afternoons.

This is an activity-led holiday hotel rather than a quiet retreat. Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark scores 3.9/5 from 4753 reviews, which points to a broad mix of guests: families in the school holidays, groups of friends, and couples who want a pool, a short walk to the bay and a base for the north coast. Guests staying outside July and August should ask which activities and bars are running in their week.

Location: Arenal d'en Castell

Arenal d'en Castell wraps a near-circular bay of pale sand on Menorca's north coast, a sheltered inlet backed by low ground and holiday buildings. Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark sits 0.7 km from the centre of the resort, so the sand is a short walk for most guests. This is the Tramuntana coast, with darker, older rock and reddish sand, and a breeze that builds through the afternoon even in high summer.

Fornells is 6.1 km from the hotel and Es Mercadal, at the foot of Monte Toro, is 8.7 km, both straightforward by car or taxi. Buses serve the north coast in summer on a timetable that changes with the season, so check the island bus operator before relying on one. Maó port is 16.2 km. In July and August the bay fills early; outside those weeks the same walk is quieter and cooler.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities work well for families: family rooms, a playground, a games room, mini golf, table tennis and a tennis court, with an outdoor pool and a pool bar. Couples can head for the garden, solarium and terrace, or join a yoga or aerobics session. Late arrivals will appreciate the 24-hour front desk, lifts and luggage storage. In-room amenities listed include air conditioning, a balcony, a safe, a TV and a hairdryer.

Before booking, confirm with Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark which board options are offered, whether a cot or extra bed fits the room you choose, and how the waterpark side of the name translates on the ground, since it may mean slides, a splash pool or a separate water area. Ask about pool towels, the bike and car rental desks, laundry, safe charges and parking. Guests with mobility needs should check lift access to rooms and the pool.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 18 km from Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark in a straight line, on the south-west side of Maó. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage, and hire cars are available at the airport; the hotel lists a car rental service and free parking for guests driving themselves. In summer, buses run from the airport to Maó and on to the resorts, with timetables that change, so check the island bus operator.

Travellers arriving by sea find Maó port 16.2 km away, with overnight crossings from Barcelona and sailings to Palma on Mallorca. From the port, a taxi or a hire car collected in Maó covers the run to Arenal d'en Castell. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so allow some slack on a late-season arrival and confirm with Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark that reception and the facilities you need are running that week.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The bay at Arenal d'en Castell is 0.7 km from Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark, an easy walk for a morning swim or a late dip. Fornells, 6.1 km away, is a fishing village on a sheltered inlet and makes a good half-day out. The Favàritx lighthouse stands 7.3 km away on dark slate inside S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, the core zone of the Biosphere Reserve, where a lagoon, dunes and birdlife reward a slow walk.

Eating on this coast is mostly seafood and simple island cooking. Fornells is known for caldereta de llagosta, a lobster stew, and Menorca's cheese carries a protected designation of origin as Mahón-Menorca, so a wedge from a village shop travels well for a picnic. Ask at the hotel which shops, markets and eating places near Arenal d'en Castell are open in your week, since opening patterns shift between spring and autumn.

A day from Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark

Begin with the short walk from Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark to the bay at Arenal d'en Castell, 0.7 km, for a swim before the sand fills. After breakfast, drive the 6.1 km to Fornells and walk the waterfront, then continue to the Favàritx lighthouse, 7.3 km away, for the dark slate coast and the lagoon edge of S'Albufera des Grau. Return for the pool, the pool bar and the solarium.

A second day goes inland. Es Mercadal is 8.7 km from Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark, and Monte Toro rises 7.5 km away at about 358 m, with a sanctuary on top and views across both coasts; late afternoon gives the clearest light. Kayaking on the north coast, around 8 km away, fills a morning when the wind is light, and the pool and games room cover a quiet evening back at the hotel.

Practical tips

From about November to April, tourism on Menorca largely pauses: seasonal buses stop, many places to eat near Arenal d'en Castell shut and the resort empties, so confirm Club Hotel Aguamarina Waterpark's opening dates with the hotel before you book. Peak demand falls in July and August. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is collected per person per night by the accommodation, with the amount depending on category and season and children under 16 exempt; check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
