White Sands Beach Club

White Sands Beach Club is an aparthotel for travellers who prefer a proper base to a box with a bed in it. You get direct access to the beach, sea views, a swimming pool and apartments with kitchens, so the day can follow your own timetable rather than a restaurant timetable.

That makes it a sensible choice for couples who want space to spread out, and for families who need more than one chair and a kettle. A balcony or terrace gives you somewhere to sit outside, while air conditioning and free WiFi deal with the less romantic but very real business of recovering from a hot day.

You are in Arenal d'en Castell, on Menorca's north coast, with Playa Arenal d'en Castell just a few steps from the property. This is a beachfront location rather than a hotel that expects you to admire the sea from a distance. The sun terrace, garden and outdoor seating keep the open-air part of the day close at hand.

For a change of scenery, Macar de Sa Llosa Beach is about 0.8 miles away on foot, while Arenal de Son Saura Beach is roughly 1.3 miles away. Bar 51 Pub is around 0.3 miles away, and several restaurants are within about 0.3 to 0.4 miles, including Menorca Curry House, Hong Kong and Alcalde. Golf Son Parc Menorca is about 7 miles away; Mahon Port is roughly 12 miles away.

Menorca Airport is about 14 miles away by road. Free public parking is available nearby, and car hire can be arranged at the property, which is useful if you intend to look beyond the bay rather than spend the whole holiday arguing with a taxi app.

The accommodation works best when you want a living space and a kitchen, not just somewhere to drop a damp towel. The Studio Apartment suits a couple keeping things simple, while the One-Bedroom Apartment gives you a separate bedroom and more room to divide the day between sleeping, eating and sitting around. For larger groups, the Two-Bedroom Apartment brings two single beds into the arrangement and gives everyone a better chance of keeping their own patch of territory.

Every apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with cookware, a fridge, microwave and dishwasher, plus a dining area and a seating area. That means cold drinks can wait in the fridge, breakfast can happen at your own pace, and a quick meal need not become a full evening operation. Grocery deliveries are available, too.

Bedrooms have wardrobes, linen and alarm clocks, with a private bathroom offering a bath or shower, towels, toiletries and a hairdryer. Air conditioning is the practical detail you will appreciate most when the day has been hot and salty. Balconies and terraces add outdoor space, while the beds have been singled out for their comfort. Smoking is not allowed.

This is an apartment-led stay, so your kitchen is part of the food plan rather than a decorative row of cupboards. The dining table gives you a place to eat indoors, and the fridge, microwave and dishwasher cover the basic after-beach routine without turning you into the unpaid chef of the holiday.

There is a bar at the property, along with a pool bar for drinks when you are already in the correct state of undress for the afternoon. Wine and champagne can be arranged, and grocery deliveries are available if you would rather stock the apartment than make a shopping expedition out of buying water.

When you want someone else to do the cooking, Menorca Curry House, Hong Kong and Alcalde are all within about 0.3 to 0.4 miles. The nearby choice is therefore practical rather than elaborate: eat in, walk out for dinner, or take a drink by the pool and call the day finished.

The swimming pool, sun terrace and loungers give you the classic post-beach option: stop moving and let the afternoon sort itself out. There is also a hot tub, outdoor seating and a garden, so you can choose between water, shade and the slightly more serious business of doing absolutely nothing.

For a small change of pace, table tennis and mini golf are available on site. Live music and evening entertainment provide something to listen to after dinner, while the children's playground and board games make the property workable for families without turning every adult hour into a children’s programme.

Treatments include massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing and other beauty services. Cycling, hiking, horse riding and canoeing are available away from the property, while windsurfing and fishing are also possible nearby. The hillside setting matters here: it is not recommended for guests with walking disabilities and is not wheelchair accessible.

Menorca Airport is about 14 miles away by road. An airport shuttle is available, either privately or as a shared service, and should be arranged with the property. Car hire, a tour desk, currency exchange and nearby free public parking are also available, giving you several ways to manage the airport run and explore beyond Arenal d'en Castell.

Check-in is available from 2pm, with arrivals accepted until midnight; share your expected arrival time in advance. Check-out is by 10am. A refundable damage deposit is taken by card on arrival and returned after the accommodation has been checked. Cards are accepted, and the minimum age for check-in is 18.

Children of all ages are welcome. A cot can be requested for a baby, while extra beds are not available. Parties and smoking are not permitted, and pets are not accepted. A local eco tax applies and is collected at the resort. Ongoing improvement work may take place during the year, with some disturbance possible, and reception hours may be limited from February to April.
