What is the most beautiful part of Menorca?
There are many beautiful parts of Menorca however, our favourite has to be the picturesque bay of Cala Galdana. The bay features a captivating horseshoe shape, which means it curves like a big, open arm reaching out to the sea. This unique shape creates a sheltered and calm environment, making the bay a perfect destination for both relaxation and water activities.
The star attraction of Cala Galdana Bay is its pristine sandy beach. The soft, golden sands stretch out like a cozy blanket, inviting visitors to bask in the sun, play beach games, or build sandcastles with friends and family. With its gradual slope into the crystal-clear turquoise waters, the bay offers safe and inviting swimming conditions for all ages.
Villa Anni and Villa Isa are walking distance to the beach.

Everyone can their hand at stand-up paddleboarding or diving into the refreshing depths. Volleyball nets invite friendly matches on the soft sand, while sun loungers and parasols offer a shady retreat from the midday sun. And when hunger strikes, charming beachside cafes tempt with delicious tapas, paella, and fresh seafood.
