Tragic Arias had previously texted a mate to say that she was going to a party - but she was not seen alive after that.
Her hacked up corpse was discovered by a local who spotted her on Los Enanos Beach in San Andrés on April 27.
Police believe the person who killed her had first stabbed her in the neck before trying to dismember her body.
They also suspect she was unconscious and bleeding to death while the attacker chopped at her legs.
According to local eyewitness reports, the arrested suspect is the owner of the popular Arenales Bar Cafeteria.
The investigation is still ongoing, and police have not ruled out further arrests.
Part of Arias' neck was also hacked off.
Cops think this was an attempt to dispose of her body in a container or bags before the corpse was left on a San Andres beach.
The bar where the owner was arrested has now been sealed off with police tape and an armed guard.
After her body was found by a passer-by, the Armed Forces' Homicide Unit was deployed to the search for her killer.
The bar owner was arrested at his home in Las Torres on May 6, and is due to appear in court either on Wednesday or Thursday.

He is reported to have fallen to the promenade while trying to take the snapshot in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Emergency services rushed to the scene of the incident, but he was pronounced dead upon their arrival.

The sheriff believed Janpreet Singh "meant no harm" when he was caught filming kids in a Paisley park KID FILM RAP Tourist walks free from court after social media pile-on claiming he was 'paedo' for filming kids in Scots park Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TOURIST caught filming children in a Scots park has been let off after a sheriff condemned social media users for sharing his picture more than 20,000 times and suggesting he 'may have been a paedophile'. Janpreet Singh was confronted by an angry dad in Barshaw Park, Paisley, after he caught him videoing children playing on March 30 this year.

Singh, from India, said he was visiting his sister in Scotland and was keen to show family back home footage of his travels. Cops arrested Singh and found the video on his mobile plus two others of swans and park scenes. His lawyer Mark Johnson told the court: 'He's here on holiday. 'There was a certain level of naivety involved. 'He did not see the harm in it.' A video of Singh in the park was then shared to social media thousands of times, a move that was questioned by Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill. She told Singh: 'You went to Barnshaw Park on a sunny afternoon. 'You recorded videos intending to send them to family in India. I do not believe there was anymore to it than that. 'I do wonder why you pled guilty to this charge. 'I also question why your image was uploaded onto social media which in itself seem to cause huge concern in the local community, that there was an Asian man in the park who may have been paedophile. Tourist caught filming small child in Scots park tells court he meant 'no harm' 'I was going to admonish you but I'm going to take the unusual step and give you an absolute discharge. 'I'm not going to proceed with your conviction. That is the end of the matter.' We told previously how Police Scotland issues a warning amid reports of men filming kids in Scots playparks.
