According to Heraldica Institucional de Canarias the new flag of Arona is a horizontal red over green over blue tricolour. Maybe the flag is used since 1992 (BOC xx/01/1992). The former flag was plain white with the coat of arms in its centre.

The coat of arms of the Municipality of Arona is a shield is divided per pale. The right side shows a golden (yellow) crozier with two silver (white) ribbons in a red field. The left side shows a tree with green leaves in a golden (yellow) field. The shield is topped by a crown.

• The crozier is an attribute of St. Anthony Abad, the patron of Arona.
• The tree is an Almácigo, which kind have a long tradition in the village. A very big example stands in the centre of the village.
