Guide to Cala 'n Blanes

"Quiet, easy-going Cala'n Blanes boasts an eye-candy sandy cove and modern amenities, making it ideal family holiday territory."

When it comes to a simple, classic family beach holiday, happiness is Cala'n Blanes. Blessed with a fabulous position on Menorca's west coast, it's one of the island's newer resorts, built especially to provide all the ingredients wanted by parents and kids.
The main focus here is undoubtedly the beach, a firm favourite with British holidaymakers. A small, fine sandy cove wedged between pine-cloaked pincers of land, it's excellent for spending quality time together away from it all. Spread your towels and, as the Menorcan sun beams down, let your cares melt away as the kids splash in the child-friendly, crystal-clear waters. Better still, there's a play area, beach cafes and watersports nearby to fill up any moments of inactivity and top up your energies for the sands again.
If you're looking for non-beachy things to do, then it's a matter of what first? Scattered amongst Cala'n Blanes' low-rise apartments and villas, you'll find numerous shops and Spanish and British style eateries to suit your tastebuds. Alternatively take your souvenir list to next-door Cala'n Forcat, with its wider range of shops and restaurants, plus fun-packed Aqua Park.
If you've got an adventurous streak, there's horse trekking along country trails or the chance to don a wetsuit and enjoy Menorca's transparent waters. And as if this wasn't enough, nearby Cuidadela deserves a day of your time, with its impressive churches and harbour restaurants.
By night, Cala'n Blanes lights up without switching into full-blown partying. Take a seat at a traditional restaurant to indulge in local Menorcan specialities or dive into a vibrant music bar. But to really let rip, Cala'n Forcat's where it's at – and it's right on your doorstep.
