It’s all about the beach on holiday in Cala Galdana
The perfect horseshoe shaped beach backed by the pine tree clad cliffs of the Algendar Gorge, is what makes the resort of Cala Galdana so special. Situated on the warm southern coast of Menorca and only two and a half hours from the UK, the small resort with its sandy beach and clear shallow water is popular with holidaymakers.
More than 40% of Menorca is protected, which is why the island has remained largely undeveloped. Cala Galdana has certainly benefited from this, and is one of the most attractive resorts on the island.
Plenty to do in Cala Galdana
It’s all about outdoor activities on a holiday to Cala Galdana. Apart from when you’re back at your hotel or apartment sleeping, you’ll spend most of your time enjoying the Spanish sunshine learning water sports, cycling, walking, swimming, or simply lazing on the beach. The beach at Cala Galdana is well equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers, plus it has plenty of bars to get snacks and drinks from.
If you want a change of scenery, then take a walk along the coastal path to the un-crowded beach of Cala Mitjana to the east, and Calas Macarella and Macareletta to the west. Or hire a small boat from the beach at Cala Galdana and head off along the coast to discover the nearby bays. Just remember to pack a picnic!
The river Algendar cuts through Cala Galdana from the limestone gorge that dramatically rises behind the town. This beautiful valley can be accessed and explored on foot from the resort. After a hard day walking, the many fish restaurants in Cala Galdana will be a welcome sight. Feast on lobster, mussels and fried squid at Es Barranc before taking an evening stroll along the beach.
Cala Galdana’s location on the south coast makes it a great base to explore the surrounding area. Stock up on souvenirs at the weekly open-air craft market at Placa Espanya in nearby Ferreries. The historic city of Ciutadella can be reached by bus and is well worth a visit to explore the old town and watch the sunset, while sharing tapas in one of the harbour’s fish restaurants.
