Menorca, also known as Minorca in Spanish, is an island in the Balearic archipelago. Situated to the north-east of Majorca, Menorca’s capital is the town of Mahón. It covers an area of 702 km². Declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 by UNESCO for its immense natural resources, the island is home to numerous beaches and around 200 incredibly beautiful coves. The diversity and configuration of the panoramas make each landscape a breathtaking spectacle. Accessible by both sea and land, Menorca is an invitation to travel and discover new experiences.

Menorca’s setting is ideal for sailing. This picturesque island with its rugged, wild scenery has several anchorages sheltered from the wind. The rocks provide protection for nautical services.

We suggest crossing the island by yacht. Your trip will be all the more rewarding for it. Set sail for a dream destination. Here is a presentation of Menorca’s most beautiful beaches and coves accessible by yacht.

Cala Macarella and Macarelleta

Cala Macarella is the island’s most famous cove. It is the image of Menorca on postcards. It forms part of the Natural Area of Special Interest of the town of Ciutadella. This pristine cove is bordered by rocky massifs and medium-sized, medium-high cliffs. With its striking blue waters, Cala Macarella is ideal for water sports. It is also an ideal area for underwater activities.

It is attached to Cala Macarelleta, less than 10 minutes away, which offers the same horizon. A complete change of scenery. For walkers and hikers, it’s easy to get from one cove to the other.

Cala Turqueta

A close rival to Cala Macarella, the turquoise cove of Cala Turqueta is one of Menorca’s iconic beaches. Menorcans consider it one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Internationally renowned, it attracts all kinds of visitors. Thanks to its success, it is not accessible in the middle of the afternoon, but in the morning and at the end of the day. With its clear blue waters and fine sand, Cala Turqueta is perfect for diving. You can see countless fish in its waters.

Cala Galdana

Cala Galdana is one of Menorca’s longest beaches (450m long and 45m wide) and is very popular during the summer months. It has a family atmosphere. Its shallow, rough waters have earned it the Blue Flag for a safe beach. Boats are common here. In fact, access to water-based activities such as pedalos and boat hire services such as motorboats make the beach a lively place. Cala Macarella is half an hour’s walk away. Catering services are also available here.

Cala Trebaluger

Only accessible by sea and on foot, Cala Trebaluger is a beach where you can drop anchor. Surrounded by a pine forest, the beach is ideal for rest and relaxation. The limestone walls of the coastline are home to a wealth of underwater life that is well worth discovering.

Cala Morell

Cala Morell is a must-see. Situated in the north of Menorca, this small cove is around 80 metres long and surrounded by cliffs of distinctive shapes. Rocks of different sizes give it an original and atypical appearance and appeal. Platforms have been set up to surround the rocks and provide protection when swimming. The highly urbanised area offers a host of amenities. The freely accessible prehistoric caves and the Talayotic necropolis are well worth a visit.

Cala en Porter

Surrounded by towering cliffs, Cala en Porter is one of Menorca’s fascinating coves. Its geographical position also makes it one of the cleanest and quietest coves on the island. Restaurants, showers, a first-aid post and supervised swimming are just some of the services on offer. Its natural pool-like setting is suitable for everyone (children and adults).

Cala n’Bosch

In the south-west of Menorca, Cala n’Bosch is close to the town of Ciutadella. It offers all the facilities of the major beaches. It is a highly urbanised and touristy area with many hotels and flats. The area is divided into two beaches: Cala n’Bosch beach and Son Xoriguer beach, 400 m away. From this beach, a 15-minute walk takes you to the Sa Cova dels Pardals cave for a surprising swim.

There’s plenty to do in the water. There’s the Aquarock water park, the Blue Water Scuba diving centre and boat hire. Last but not least, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Mallorca.

In conclusion, we hope that this brief presentation of Menorca will appeal to you and convince you to make a stopover on this island paradise.
