Hotel Patagonia is a long-standing favourite in Arinsal, especially for guests who want easy slope access without staying right in the middle of the village. It sits right by the Josep Serra chairlift, so getting onto the mountain is quick and straightforward, and that lift takes you up towards the main ski area services and beginner-friendly slopes.

Inside, it feels warm and relaxed, with a proper mountain-hotel atmosphere that works well after a day out skiing. The rooms are one of the real strengths here. They are noticeably more spacious than average, with an apartment-style feel that suits couples, families and groups of friends well, and many have balconies or valley-facing mountain views. Useful practical touches such as free WiFi, tea and coffee facilities. (fridge and microwave help make it an easy place to settle into for the week, that are available at a supplement locally). 

There is also a good wellness side to the hotel, with sauna-style facilities, a fitness room and massage options, so it is not just about the location. Buffet breakfast and dinner keep things simple, and the spacious lounge areas make it a comfortable place to come back to once the lifts close.

Why guests like it:

Guests tend to like the Patagonia because it makes a ski holiday feel easy. You are right by the lift, the rooms give everyone a bit more space, and the whole place has a calmer, more comfortable feel than some of the busier bases in Arinsal. It is a particularly good fit for families and for groups of friends who want convenience, comfort and a bit of breathing room at the end of the day.

Good to know:

The hotel is less than a minute from the chairlift, The resort centre is around a 10-minute walk away, though the walk back up can feel a touch longer after a night out, so it suits guests who are happy to trade being above the centre for the village for quicker access to the slopes.
