Origin of the Name

It is believed that the name ‘Arillas’ has its roots to the Roman proto-Christian era, during which a site was often named after an object by adding the Latin suffix ‘ille’.

Another version suggests that the name ‘Arillas’ originates from the abundance of a specific type of oak called ‘Aria’ (the older local people call it ‘Aria’ even today), which was used to build ships.

Located just before the open Adriatic Sea, Arillas serves as the first stop for the travelers arriving from the far west, and has a history of human presence since long ago.

The size of the beach is constantly changing, varying up to two meters from one day to the next. Thus, returning visitors are often amazed by the transformation of the same place.

Nature has created a place of extraordinary beauty and powerful energy that has been experienced by all those who visit it.
