Menorca Guide
A perfect week
Six days that balance culture, nature and pure relaxation, put together by Clarice herself. Adjust it to your dates and your pace — she is happy to fine-tune it or book anything in it.
Cala en Porter, kayak and Cova d'en Xoroi
- Morning or afternoon:: kayak along the cliffs towards Cales Coves. Go guided for more insight, or self hire for more freedom
- Late afternoon:: beach time and relax
- Evening:: sunset drinks at Cova d'en Xoroi
Cala Rafalet, cycling and Punta Prima
- Morning:: Cala Rafalet, a quiet and rugged inlet, lovely for snorkelling
- Midday:: cycle towards Punta Prima
- Afternoon:: Punta Prima beach
Cala Morell: snorkelling and sunset
- Morning:: snorkelling in clear water over the rocks
- Midday:: the ancient cave dwellings and a short walk
- Evening:: sunset over a calm, open horizon
Es Grau, flamingos, kayak and Illa d'en Colom
- Morning, flamingos:: walk from the beach to the lagoon (5 to 10 minutes). Best spots: Sa Gola and the bird hides. Best time: early morning or evening
- Kayak:: first hug the coast to the right for small caves and snorkel spots, then cross to Illa d'en Colom
- On the island:: Cala Tamarells, the best beach, for a swim, a snorkel and a relax
- Eat:: Bar Es Moll (simple, local, quick) or Tamarindos (great view, ideal for lunch or sunset)
Faro de Cavalleria, cave and beach
- Lighthouse:: park nearby and take in the views over the north coast
- Cave:: walk left of the lighthouse (1 to 3 minutes) to a small entrance and a dark tunnel that ends in a window above the sea
- Plateau, east side:: right of the lighthouse, a 5 to 10 minute walk, quiet and panoramic
- Beach:: Platja de Cavalleria, red sand and wilder water
Extra tip: Cala Macarella
Skip it in high season, when it is busy and parking is hard. Better to go early and hike in — or, the best option, hire a boat.
Also worth it near Es Castell
- Boat excursions to Illa del Llatzeret and Illa del Rei
- La Mola fortress and the Castillo de San Felipe
- The military museum, Museo Histórico Militar de Menorca
- Coastal walks around the harbour
Good to know
- Mornings are the best time, calm and with little wind
- North coast: wilder, but quieter · South coast: prettier water, but busier
- Always bring water, sun protection and a snorkel
- Check the wind, which matters on kayak days
