Cala en Blanes: What the Guidebooks Don’t Tell You (and You’ll Love to Discover)

Cala en Blanes is much more than just a beach. Here are five insider tips to experience it like a local:

• The "Insider" of the Caribbean: It’s not your typical Menorcan landscape. While other coves are surrounded by pine trees, Cala en Blanes stands out with its lush palm grove right on the sand. A touch of tropical magic in the heart of the Mediterranean, perfect for a natural siesta in the shade.

• The Secret Refuge from the Tramontana: When the famous north wind sweeps across the island, other beaches get rough, but Cala en Blanes remains as calm as a swimming pool. Its narrow, elongated shape acts as a natural shield, making it the perfect "plan B" for a peaceful sea on windy days.

• A Natural "Bridge" to the Sunset: Just steps away from the sand is the Pont d'en Gil, a large natural rock arch over the sea. While tourists admire it from afar, the real secret is to hike up there at sunset and watch the sun set perfectly through the arch.

• Prehistoric Neighbors: Right next to the beach lies the Necropolis of Cala en Blanes. These caves were hand-dug into the rock by the island's first settlers thousands of years ago. You can go from lounging in the sun to stepping back into the mysterious Bronze Age of Menorca in minutes.

• The "Secret" Connection Through the Rocks: Instead of staying put on the sand, follow the coastal path leading to Cala en Brut. No sand here, but natural platforms carved into the rock. It’s the locals’ favorite spot for cliff diving into some of the clearest, most turquoise water on the island.

Menorca is the calmest of the Balearic Islands, a place of turquoise coves, pine forests that run right down to the sea and whitewashed villages that still feel wonderfully unhurried. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island has kept its natural beauty and its authentic character, far from the crowds of its busier neighbours.

It's the perfect choice for families and couples who want to slow down: lazy mornings on the beach, long walks along the coast and sunset dinners by the harbour.

Make sure you visit:

Start in Ciutadella, the former capital, where arcaded streets lead to a Gothic cathedral and a pretty harbour that comes alive in the evening. From there, cross the island to Maó, the current capital, set on one of the largest natural harbours in the world; the drive takes around 45 minutes.

On the way, stop at the Naveta des Tudons, a prehistoric burial monument more than 3,000 years old, and climb up to Monte Toro, the island's highest point, for views over the whole of Menorca.

Beaches we think you'll like:

The south coast is famous for its postcard coves. Cala Macarella and its little sister Macarelleta have white sand and turquoise water framed by cliffs and pine trees, while Cala Mitjana is a peaceful spot for a day surrounded by nature.

If you're travelling with children, Cala Galdana has calm, shallow water and everything you need close by. In the north, Cala Pregonda surprises with its reddish-golden sand and crystal-clear water, ideal for snorkelling.

Family-friendly activities:

Some stretches of the Camí de Cavalls, the old path that circles the island, are short and easy enough for little legs, with a new cove waiting at every bend. A boat trip along the south coast is another favourite: you'll see caves and beaches you can't reach on foot.

Near Ciutadella, the old sandstone quarries of Lithica have been turned into gardens and labyrinths that children love to explore. And in the calm bay of Fornells, kayaking is easy even for beginners.

Local delicacies you have to try:

Menorca's signature dish is caldereta de langosta, a rich lobster stew best enjoyed in a harbourside restaurant in Fornells. For something simpler, order a plate of Mahón-Menorca cheese drizzled with olive oil, or try oliaigua, a traditional vegetable soup.

As the sun goes down, do as the locals do and order a pomada, a refreshing mix of Menorcan gin and lemonade.

Make the most of your visit:

Menorca is small enough to explore from end to end, so it's worth hiring a car for a few days. These are our favourite trips from Maó:

• Binibeca Vell (15 minutes): a picturesque fishing village of white houses and narrow lanes by the sea.
• Fornells (30 minutes): a charming harbour famous for its lobster stew.
• Es Grau and S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park (15 minutes): protected wetlands for birdwatching and easy walks.
• Ciutadella (45 minutes): the island's elegant former capital, perfect for an evening stroll.
