Villas in Cala Blanca Resort

Much of the west coast of Menorca above Cala Blanca is very rocky and rugged, with deep water inlets and lovely sandy coves. The resort is built around a pretty crescent bay, with turquoise water and soft white sand framed by pine forests. The beach is lovely place to watch the sunsets that are famous in this area.

Cala Blanca is a family-friendly place for a holiday, and children love the small but very beautiful beach, which has a waterslide to keep them happy and life guards to keep them safe. The soft sand and tranquil waters make it a carefree place to get to work with a bucket and spade.

There is a good pedestrianised shopping area in the centre of Cala Blanca where you can find several supermarkets catering to the needs of British tourists who want a few essentials for the villa, as well as souvenir shops, restaurants and bars. For more sophisticated shopping opportunities Ciutadella is your best bet – try Ses Voltes, a shaded arcade of boutiques and leather shops.

For a complete contrast, and a glimpse of a more traditional way of life, drive inland to the whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets of the medieval market town Alaior. The maze of narrow streets offers a fine choice of shops and traditional Spanish restaurants (not to mention the great ice cream!) The town was founded in 1304 and so is rich in history and atmosphere. If you have time and love shoes, make a detour to the Pons Quintana shoe factory shop.
