Owner profile
About the owner
The apartment is owned by the James family.
Year purchased: 1980's
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Alan originally discovered Arenal and its wonderful beach and had no problem in persuading other family members to invest in a property. Our mixture of small children to some now adults have fond memories of building the largest sandcastle in the world, jumping the waves and snorkeling for the first time. As teenagers they don't remember the nightclubs only the lack of them! We all love Menorca for different reasons. Bill loves swimming before breakfast, Anne likes wall to wall sunshine, Linda likes walking in the cooler months, Alan and Jane just "chill out" with/without the kids but we are all agreed that the view from the apartment is spectacular and when the beach is empty its all yours! Menorca has a beauty all of its own and brings you back every year to discover something new.
Unique benefits of the property
Approximately 80 steps from the road down to the apartment and about the same going on down to the beach gives both convenience and privacy/quiet.
