Apartamentos Posidonia

In Mercadal on the island’s north coast, a short five-minute walk from Arenal Son Saura and close to Caló Verd. The apartments sit under 2 km from the island’s only golf course and offer easy access to coastal trails like the Camí de Cavalls.

Self-catering apartments feel like a compact beach home — some units have two double bedrooms, a spacious living/dining area, a fully equipped kitchen and a private balcony or terrace (some with sea views). Rooms include flat-screen TVs, safes, bathtubs and blackout drapes; A/C is available for an extra charge. Housekeeping is weekly, towels changed twice a week and linen once a week.

Two communal outdoor pools plus a seasonal pool and a children’s pool set in garden grounds. On-site bar, restaurant and café, plus a beachside restaurant with views. Active types get table tennis, a diving club, bicycle rentals and a playground. Practical perks include laundry, vending machines, tour desk and free self-parking — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight to the sand.

24-hour front desk, laundry facilities and a safe-deposit box at reception. Wireless internet access is available (surcharge) and free self-parking makes arrival easy.

Eat on-site at the restaurant or café and grab drinks at the bar; a beachside restaurant serves breakfast and sunset dinners with a view. Plenty of nearby restaurants, bars and supermarkets are within walking distance for more local choices.
