Click here for accommodation in Cala Galdana
Situated
on the south coast of Menorca only a few kilometers from Ferreries lies
the picturesque resort of Cala Galdana. Although small in size, it is one
of Menorca's most loved, most photographed and most visited resorts.
Known
as The Queen of the Calas, Cala Galdana has lots to attract the visitor
and keep them happy. Besides the obvious attraction of the horseshoe beach
and towering cliffs, the holidaymaker has a wide choice of other
activities including: boat trips, mini golf, water sport, scuba diving and
cycling and makes a good base for the many scenic walks around the
Menorcan countryside and along the coastal paths which lead to secluded
natural beaches, untouched by the growth in tourism.
The
Algendar Gorge, the most dramatic of all Menorca's limestone gorge.
Starting life in the country side just outside Ferreries, it winds it's
way down to the sea opening out in Cala Galdana where the small river, the
Algendar, flows into the sea and enhances the natural beauty of the bay.
Cala
Galdana, is constrained by the width of the Algendar Gorge, this can mean
that some of the holiday accommodation can be situated high up, with some
properties having many steps up to them. The three main hotels are
thought, all situated on the valley floor within ease walking distance
from the beach and resort attractions.
Although
not a necessity we would recommend car hire, especially if your
accommodation is situated on the cliff tops, otherwise you may have a
steep walk into the resort centre and beach. Click here for villas and

Cala
Galdana beach has been awarded the coveted European Community ‘Blue Flag’
for its safe bathing and facilities including a good selection of water
sports. Beach sun beds and parasols are all close at hand but the cost can
soon mount up as the daily rental is rather high.
