Holidays in Cala Alcaufar

An introduction to Cala Alcaufar

Holidays in Cala Alcaufar are that rare breed of Menorcan break – off the beaten track.

One restaurant. One cafe. One bar with occasional karaoke. And one fabulous small sand beach nestled at the end of a rocky inlet, lapped by a crystal clear Med. Are you getting the idea? Cala Alcaufar is a tiny collection of private villas, a few lucky residents and the Hotel Xuroy. All perched along a pretty cove, sheltered from the ravages of mass tourism as well as the rolling waves. You'll recognise everyone after a week in this intimate little hideaway.

Cala Alcaufar leaves pretensions for its bigger neighbours like S'algar and Punta Prima. Life here is about simple pleasures. Like splashing about with your kids in the shallow water. Like sipping coffee al fresco at the restaurant overlooking the beach. Like feeling the warmth of the sun and sand as you lay on the beach. There's no elaborate watersports – pedaloes and canoes are definitely the way forward here. Even the yachts come to chill rather than show off.

In case you haven't guessed, Cala Alcaufar holidays attract young families and couples after an unassuming resort. Punta Prima's pristine beach is worth a visit and S'algar is considered Menorca's best sporting resort - tennis, windsurfing, even bowls – they've got the lot. They're your best bets for a hint of nightlife too. Otherwise, Cala Alcaufar evenings mean a delicious tapas dinner, a glass or two of wine out on the terrace. And, of course, your singing debut.
