"With its enchanting beach and neighbouring sandy coves, small and unshowy Cala Canutells comes straight from a beach-lover's wish list."
Breakfast. Beach. Lunch. Beach. Dinner. And the same again the next day, and the next. Holidays in Cana Canutells all tend to follow the same beach-obsessed formula.
The reason couldn't be simpler. This place is made in heaven for a quiet sun, sea and sand holiday. A former fishing hamlet with just a dusting of shops, this rustic hillside village sits above a sublime coast, its low, sugar-cube houses glinting against an azure sea.
From here, the glitter of the blue waters is enough to entice you to the beach. A sweep of silky white sands curled around a rock-framed bay, it's so drop-dead gorgeous it almost hurts to look at it. Slip off those flip-flops, check out the friendly nearby bar-restaurant and make yourself at home - you could be here for some time.
Should its attractions ever start to pall, take a potter around the area to refresh your beach-loving batteries. Hop on a bus to the dazzling white village of Binibeca Vell to search its cobbled streets for Menorcan souvenirs. Take a trip to the charming capital of Mahon, where animated restaurants and bars prepare succulent seafood delicacies like caldereta llagosta beside the picturesque harbour.
And when you fancy a chilled-out night out, head for the bars and restaurants of nearby Sant Climent to while away a starry evening to the sound of cool, summertime jazz.

Beaches
The white, sandy beach at Cala Canutells nestles quietly in a deep bay, secluded by low-lying cliffs on either side. Protected from the wind, the sea is shallow, calm and ideal for young children.
Eating out
The few tavernas in Cala Canutells serve delicious, authentic cuisine. Menorca's capital, Mahon, lays claim to the discovery of mayonnaise, which is often found accompanying the island's excellent variety of succulent fish and seafood. Try 'caldereta de laguosta' - a delicious lobster soup often served with garlic mayonnaise. Compliment your meal with some of Menorca's highly perfumed gin - a legacy of the British rule.
Nightlife
This resort exudes peace, quiet and tranquillity, so evenings tend to focus around the hotel or the small local restaurants and bars.
Shopping
Shopping in Cala Canutells is limited to the essentials, but the neighbouring town of San Climent has a greater choice. Renowned for leather goods, Menorca is a great place to buy handbags, jackets and footwear.
