Your data
Your beach, your data. Not on a vendor’s servers.
Subscription software sees every booking, every customer and every takings figure at your beach club, and keeps them together with everyone else’s. With Arenile the beach runs on the front-desk computer or your own private server: what happens below is known only to you.
A beach club seen from above, drawn with the Arenile map kit: the sea, the lifeguard tower, four rows of umbrellas with sunbeds and, at the back, the bar, the cash desk and the cabins. Umbrellas change colour as bookings come in.
This beach is yours alone
Bookings, customers and takings stay on the front-desk computer or your own private server. No vendor sees them, nobody pools them.

Your data
Your beach club data stays yours. On your computer or your server, not on a vendor’s.
Subscription software keeps bookings, customers and takings on the vendor’s servers, together with those of all its customers. With Arenile they sit on the front-desk computer or on your own private server, online too, and only you see them.
Subscription software
- Your data sits on the vendor’s servers
- The vendor sees it, as well as you
- It can analyse it and pool it with other beach clubs’ data
- Getting it back depends on them
Arenile
- Your data sits on your computer or your own private server
- Only you and the people you allow see it
- Nobody analyses or pools it
- Export it to Excel and CSV whenever you like
With concession tenders, data is worth something
Attendance, takings, pass holders and customers show what your beach club is worth. That is information you bring to the tender: it should not sit on the servers of a vendor who also works for your competitors.
You are the analyst of your own data. Nobody can analyse you or pool you with others, ever again.
The umbrella map
Your beach as it really is, on the front-desk screen.
You draw the beach with the Coste360.it map kit: rows of umbrellas, sunbeds, gazebos, walkways and facilities. Every morning you see at a glance what is free, who has booked and who still has to pay.
Explore the day map
From your website
Commission-free online umbrella booking: the money lands in your account.
Guests pick their days, then a spot on the map or a zone, and pay. They get an email with a QR code, a calendar reminder and a link to manage the booking themselves. With Stripe the money goes to your own Stripe account: Arenile keeps nothing. Or let them pay on arrival.

For installers
Do you install software for beach clubs? Arenile is protected by a licence.
Arenile is free for the beach club that uses it for itself. The rule is simple: if you earn from it, through a fee or a related offer (website, support, hosting, maintenance), installing, configuring, hosting or supporting Arenile for a beach club requires a commercial licence from Coste360 S.R.L. It is reserved to Coste360.it and its authorised partners.
Become a licensed installer
Write to the Coste360.it team: we explain the terms and cost of the installer licence.
Ask for the installer licenceWhat beach club owners ask us
What it really costs, what you need for online bookings, where your data stays and what the licence allows, installers and web agencies included. Here are the answers in plain words; every practical step is in the docs at docs.arenile.app, and if something is missing the Coste360.it team will answer.
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. Download it and install it in one click on the beach club computer, or on your online server: Arenile is free for the beach clubs you own or run directly: no licence fee and no commission, with every feature. Coste360.it offers paid installation and setup for those who would rather not do it themselves. About the licence
Do online bookings carry a commission?
Arenile takes no commission, neither on bookings nor on takings. Card payments go through Stripe straight into your account, and Stripe charges its own per-transaction fees. Guests can also pay on arrival. Online payments
Do I need a server? How much is it?
Only if you want bookings from your website: then you need a small online server, a few euros a month from your hosting provider. Otherwise a computer at the beach club is enough. Choose how to install
Can I try it before the season?
Yes. Load the Lido Demo, a sample beach club with a map, prices, season passes and bookings, and try every feature without touching your own data. Load the demo data
