Menorca

This remote sand beach is cloistered by two rocky outcrops and a dense pine grove. Only accessible by foot, this beach has stunning, unspoiled scenery.

Known as the ’Queen of the Calas’, this large sandy beach in the shape of a horseshoe is fringed by pine trees. With watering holes, facilities and eateries nearby, this spot is perfect for families who want to enjoy a fun yet relaxed day at the beach.

This quiet sheltered cove on the south west coast of Menorca boasts white sand, clean turquoise waters and a border of pine trees.

Arenal d'en Castell is one of the most popular beaches on the island, due to its extensive selection of water sports facilities, shops, bars and restaurants. Head here for relaxation after a day's sightseeing.

With its white sand, clear water, picturesque cliffs and a forest in the background, Cala Mitjana (and Cala Mitjaneta) is a must-visit. The beaches are just metres away from each other, swimming back and forth is possible, but the connecting dirt road also allows for a great view over these two bays. As there are no restaurants or shops around, remember to bring supplies.
