This large villa, built in 1940, is on an extensive plot measuring over 2,500 square meters. It enjoys an elevated position above the original El Arenal settlement. The property retains several original architectural details characteristic of its era.
Upon entering, you find a larger entrance hall featuring an elegant staircase leading to the first floor. The ground floor includes a substantial lounge with a fireplace, a separate dining room—also featuring a fireplace—and an enclosed porch accessible from both living spaces. Additionally, there is a double bedroom and a complete bathroom located on this level. The kitchen and laundry room provide access to the porch facing the garden entrance.
On the first floor, there are three more double bedrooms, along with a complete bathroom. Each of these bedrooms is equipped with double doors leading to a balcony that surrounds the first floor, enhancing the views and airflow.
The attic space is divided into two areas by an arch and offers open views of the sea to the west and countryside to the east. Modifications were made in the 1980s and 1990s, as the villa served as a summer residence for a local family and, later, guest accommodation.
For potential buyers, there are multiple renovation options available. One could refurbish the existing house, landscape the garden—which includes mature trees—and even consider constructing a swimming pool and summer kitchen. The property also features a group of small outbuildings, one of which is a garage, and is distinctive for having access from two streets. This could facilitate creating a large private estate with off-street parking and ample garden space, only moments away from the beach and the El Arenal Yacht Club.
Alternatively, the large plot allows for redevelopment. The maximum permitted occupancy is 28 apartment units or fewer for townhouses, or a mixed development that retains the original villa.
The area has not yet seen the same level of redevelopment as nearby locations like El Molinar and Portixol. However, urbanizations such as Son Veri Nou and Bellavista have gained popularity among those seeking older, larger villas suitable for redevelopment.
The town centers around the marina and original harbor, where numerous smaller hotels and apartment buildings from the 1970s and 1980s are undergoing refurbishment. This area boasts a unique blend of proximity to one of the island’s largest beaches and easy access to Palma de Mallorca’s city center, accessible via public transport, road, or bicycle during the summer. Cycling paths and walkways along the shoreline extend right to the entrance of the old city walls and beyond to the heart of the city.

El Arenal
El Arenal, also known as S’Arenal, is located in southern Mallorca and significantly influenced by tourism. It borders the western Migjorn region and a portion of it falls under Palma’s city limits, making it conveniently close to the airport, which is only 12 kilometers away.
The town’s historical roots date back to 1887 when it was a small fishing village. Evidence of this original character remains in the town center near the harbor, at the far end of the beach. The El Arenal Yacht Club was established in 1952, marking it as one of the oldest marinas along the island’s coast.
Further south of the marina and beach lie the residential areas of Son Veri Nou and Bellavista, while on the headland of Cala Blava sits the luxury Hotel Cap Rocat.
