Cala Macarella

Cala Macarellla - North Coast

Menorca has some of the best beaches in the Med and more than all the other Balearic islands put together. From rugged and rocky in the north to lush pine fringed in the south, from endless sands to secluded coves… you should easily find the perfect one for you.

Here’s some of the best to get you started.

menorca beaches

North Coast Arenal d’en Castell - Gently curving bay of fine white sand and calm blue water popular with tourists, backed by large hotels and cafes offering plenty of services and refreshment. Perfect for families.

Quieter coves Es Grau - This beach is good for young children due to the shallow water; offshore the small islet of illa d’en Colom, part of the marine reserve, is good for scuba diving and snorkelling.

While behind the beach, through dunes and pine

i

woods, is lake S’Albufera - the heart of Menorca’s biosphere reserve and a favourite spot for birdwatchers and ramblers.

Off the beaten track Cala Pregonda - One of Menorca’s finest natural beaches, off the beaten track and accessed by a 30 minute walk from Binimel-la. A beautiful sandy bay with crystal waters, backed by pine and tamarisk woods. A favourite anchor point for chartered yachts looking for seclusion, worth the trek for the bay’s pinktinged rock formations at sunset.

Cavalleria - A wide beach of unusually red sand, backed by rocky red earth cliffs, with crystal clear green water. Easily reached along a good road to a parking area, then on foot along a wooden walkway with spectacular views and steps leading down to the beach.

Making the most of Menorca. Pt 1.

How do you make the most of your stay of the beautiful Balearic island of Menorca?

It all depends on the kind of holiday you prefer. You’ve already chosen Menorca because of its unspoilt scenery and relaxed Mediterranean way of life, but there are so many things to see and do on this gem of an island that you are truly spoilt for choice.

There are dedicated cycle routes that will take through the spectacular heart of the island – even to the top of towering Monte Toro if you have the leg power and stamina.

At least when you get to the top there’s a lovely little snack bar, a magnificent ancient monastery and jaw dropping 360 views.

There is literally something for everyone – to suit every flavour for the discerning holiday palate.

Whatever floats your Menorcan Llaut, you are spoilt for choice.

sights & sounds

For instance, you can chill out in one of the many hidden calas (small bays) all around the island. They are often a rambling walk from main resorts and may only be accessible on foot. But they are always worth the effort for the amazing views and great bathing on offer (be warned – some locals swim and sunbathe here without the benefit of swimwear!).

You can also follow the historic coastal footpath and nature trial that is the Cami De Cavalls, on foot or horseback. There are many viewing points and information stations along the way telling you all about the indigenous fauna and flora that inhabit each area.

If that seems a little too energetic, you can always spend a sunny afternoon discovering the hidden treasures that lie in the sleepy narrow streets of picturesque Menorcan towns of Ferreries, Mercadal and Alaior.

Typical stores here are Bric-a-brac and furniture, leather goods and cheeses, fashion and jewellery. And at the large shopping centres at Mahon and Cuitadella on opposite end of the island, you can shop till you drop into a friendly local tapas bar for a light lunch, or visit an art gallery, an ancient church, an indoor or fresh fish market. It’s up to you.

www.in2menorca.com

Pt 2. Active or naturally chilled If wind and water are your sporting elements then you will love the windsurfing, Kayaking and Sailing on offer at Fornells Bay in the north of the island.

But if it’s a good all fashioned lie-on-thebeach-and–soak-up-the-sun holiday that you are after then you will love the big beach resorts of of Son Bou, Sant Tomas, Calan Bosch and Arenal As for nightlife and dining out, you can’t do better than popping down to Calas Fonts overlooking the mouth of Mahon harbour.

It boasts night markets, clothes shops and a host of restaurants serving every food from Chinese to Italian and traditional Menorca dishes and Tapas.

Then, if you’re not too tired you might fancy dancing the night away at the famous Xoroi Caves nightly disco at Calan Porter.

sights & sounds

It’s set high up the face of a cliff with the most stunning seas views you will ever experience, and the scariest narrow footpath leading down the to entrance along the face of the cliff. So easy on the Vino!

And if you are lucky enough for your stay to coincide with one of the many lively and colourful Menorcan Fiestas – then why not come along and join in the fun.

Be warned, they can be noisy and lively affairs. Especially during the usual Haleo horse parades, where experience Caballeros ‘walk’ thier splendidly adorned steeds on there hind legs to the delight of the whooping crowds. Not a place for your little ones, but adults and teenagers will love it. An experience to remember!

But perhaps the best news about Menorca is that you don’t just have to choose one type of holiday. You can do it all during your stay.

Menorca is quite a small island, just 22 miles across and 11 from top to bottom, so everything is within easy reach.

where to stay
