Cala Pilar is a secluded bay in Menorca that offers stunning sand beaches and crystal clear waters. It is a protected fishing area and only accessible by boat or long hike, making it one of the most exclusive spots on the island. The natural beauty of the cove is maintained thanks to its remote location and difficult access. If youre looking for an escape from the crowds, Cala Pilar is perfect for you!
Fantastic walk in farmland of 45 min to get to pristine blue waters sandy beach. Rocky and sand dramatic views. Peaceful reserved beach. Good to keep fit and test your resistence.
No vigilant and no bar.

more like 40 mins to get there but 100% worth it. the hike is nice and the beach is absolutely perfect. it was really not crowded the whole afternoon even though it was a very sunny saturday. really amazing time. nb : there was a lot of waves though, not high but to be noted for the people who don’t really enjoy them.

Very beautiful and wild; you need a good walk to get there from the parking; but it’s worth to do it; you will enjoy both the beach and the walk in this well maintained natural park

45 min walk from the parking lot. Nice trail but difficult during hot days. On the way back be prepared for stairs and some climbing. No restaurant/bar etc in the parking lot or on the beach. Bring water, food and whatever else you need.

Yes there is a narrow road and a 2km+ walk along a pine and shrubbed pathway to a lovely rugged ocean view before the beach and a perfect swim. Mixed crowd including naturists. Beats Cala Morell.

This was one of my favorite beaches! You must walk 30 min to reach it!

I have given the beach a average rating as we could not get to the area as the road was closed due to road works. The problem was we had already driven some distance and couldn't be bothered to take another route. We did hear it's the best beach to visit on the island but we didn't get chance to see it
Cala des Talaier is a mesmerizing beach located in a secluded area reachable by foot through a pine forest for around 20 minutes from the nearest parking lot. The cove boasts turquoise waters and white sands, but it lacks any amenities or services, so visitors are advised to bring their own umbrella, water, and food.
My favorite beach since I live here. It is a virgin/hidden pearl with a 20min wall to the nearest parking. Easy access and there is a toilet as well.

(Translated by Google) Access from Son Saura Park with capacity for many cars but at 8:30 a.m. it is already a little full. I walk to Es Talaier through pine trees for about 20 minutes.
Paradise cove with turquoise waters and white sand without services. IMP! Bring an umbrella, water and food.

Acceso desde prk de son saura con capacidad para muchísimos coches pero a las 8.30h ya está un poco lleno. Camino hasta es talaier por zona de pinos unos 20min.

(Translated by Google) The best little cove you can go to! Turquoise and crystalline water with a good temperature, hot and cozy due to its views and the ideal corners to stretch out and relax in the sand or have a coconut thanks to its street fruit vendors. It does not cover and is reached through Son Saura, having to walk about 20 minutes to get there and enjoy this very natural and virgin site. Safety pin!
(Original)
La mejor calita a la que puedas ir! Agua turquesa y cristalina y con una buena temperatura, caliente y acogedora por sus vistas y los rincones ideales para estirarte y relajarte en la arena o tomarte un coco gracias a sus vendedores de fruta ambulantes. No cubre y se llega mediante son saura debiendo de caminar unos 20 minutos para llegar y disfrutar de este sitio tan natural y virgen. Imperdible!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular place with turquoise waters and white sand surrounded by rocks and wild vegetation. I loved going and the little path from Son Saura to get there, although it takes 15-20 minutes, it is worth doing, both between the trees and the thing. Very eager to return.
(Original)
Lugar espectacular de aguas turquesas y arena blanca envuelta de rocas y vegetación salvaje. Me encantó ir y el caminito desde Son Saura para llegar hasta allí, aunque son 15-20 min, son dignos de hacer, tanto por entre los árboles como por la cosa. Muchas ganas de volver.

(Translated by Google) We chose to go down into the sea on the rocks side, without reaching the beach. Spectacular context, amazing water. It can be reached on foot from Son Saura.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful cove, between Escorxada and this have been one of my favorites, this one does not have a sandy area but it is worth going and taking a bath

Puerto Antiguo de Ciutadella de Menorca is a historic port situated near Placa des Born in the Balearic Islands. It exudes an old-world charm that sets it apart from the bustling Mahon port. Although it still functions as a fishing and commercial harbor, it mainly attracts classic boats typical of the Balearic Islands and pleasure crafts. The town surrounding the marina offers lovely shops, clean streets, and a stunning view of the harbor.
Nice port come marina. Very nice little restaurants about too.
Colin Hewlett — Google review
Beautiful city. A bit expensive in the centre of town & of course by the harbour. The restaurants near the bus station are away from the bustle of the centre of town & cheaper. If you go by bus from the north it's more travel than sightseeing. The busses are cheap but have a lot of pick ups on route.

A Beautiful port that has amazing views & it's architecture & design is as in it's name suggests are antique. The port's surrounding areas are an eclectic mix of buildings that host businesses & housing , shops & of course the many seafood restaurants that are dotted along the port . The port has also some art & sculpture features that can be seen , tucked away in the quieter parts of the port's quarter & are worth looking out for as some are quite quirky & some are surrealistic & some are quite thought provoking , they all are quite tasteful & all add to the port's charm . The bridge at the port is an ideal place to have that special photograph taken together , for those romantic couples or just a happy memory snap , but a word of caution !! Please look out for vehicles as they also use the bridge !! . The port's well worth making the effort to see as there is so much too do here & most attractions are within walking distance & whether you like scenery , history or shopping or maybe fancy a meal at one of the many seafood restaurants then the Puerto Antiguo could be your next place visit on the beautiful island of menorca .

We enjoyed this place walked in from Cala Banes, we stopped for quite a few coffees over the week in different places all good and not expensive compared to home. Beautiful areas around the boats and the city has tiny cobblestone streets, fantastic just to see the architectural details in some buildings

Great place lots of historic buildings and a lovely market on a Saturday.
Lots of bars around the bus station thats worth a visit. The gin slushy is a good drink to aid in refreshing yourself during a walk around.
Definitely use the bus service its cheap clean and reliable. A great way to explore the rest of the island.

During daytime, it’s a basic port, boats going here and there. But during night time, it becomes another world, there are shops everywhere, people walking, you can (and should) take a little ice cream to eat while walking there!

During our 2 week stay in Ciutadella we regularly enjoyed wandering around the port on our way in and out of town.
Far de Punta Nati is a serene and secluded location that attracts visitors interested in watching sunsets and taking pictures of the quaint, remote lighthouse. The area offers breathtaking views of the rocky cliffs and crashing waves, providing a magical experience. However, it can be challenging to reach as it's located on a narrow road with about 1000 meters of walking required once you've parked your vehicle.
Amazing place for a sunset, follow the crowd to the edge of the island for amazing views of rock formations
Robbin de G — Google review
A nice spot and viewpoint, after you drive a long straight road, up to mid point, there is no entry of the car. So have to park the car at the car park and then walk around 10-15mins to the entrance of the lighthouse. The gate closes.
Wanderlust Around — Google review
Pretty remote location, you drive a few kilometers on a narrow road and then have to walk another 1000 meters before you get to the lighthouse, which doesn't seem to be open to the public. Climbing over a wall you can walk around it to the cliffs, where you are rewarded with stunning views of the coast line and the sea.
Marco Kaiser — Google review
Just under 1 mile walk from the car park to the lighthouse, which has a wall round it. Fortified buildings close by look like gun posts. Surrounding area is very rocky with no trees. Saw loads of wildlife, including peregrines, kites, stone curlew & lizards.
ron deacon — Google review
Elegant location with some knockout sunset spectacles. This lighthouse is secured and does not permit public to enter through however there is a pathway just besides the lighthouse walls that you have crawl/hop onto if you want to explore more.(it’ll be worth it)
The way to get to this place is to walk a good 20-30 mins walk from the car park, the footpath is good and at the car park you will find ample of place to park. Parking is free.

Lovely spot to watch sunset. However be prepared for it being busy,the car park being full (park on road) and a 1km walk from the carpark.
Wyn Price — Google review
The lighthouse is quite ugly, and it is far away, first by car and then walking 1 km. To sum up, you can see the same gorgeous sunsets from many others more accessible points.
Jordi Altimiras — Google review
We adventure there from Cala Santandría with bikes on a pretty windy day, and survived!! Once you get there it looked closed but you can just jump around it, not getting inside the perimeter of the lighthouse itself. The rocky built of the cliffs are stunning, and the windy day gave us a breathtaking experience with the waves crushing on the rocks. It was magical.

Drop the car at the carpark and walk the last few hundred metres to the lighthouse. No access to it but you can walk around it and it's spectacular setting.
Nestled amidst picturesque cliffs, the serene and peaceful cove of Es Tancats - Algaiarens boasts azure blue waters and a relaxed sandy beach. Known as La Vall, this pristine Menorca beach is conveniently located near Ciutadella, offering ample space on its large expanse of yellow and red sands for various outdoor sports like volleyball or soccer.
The best beach in the west, better than famous ones because it's easily accessible at any hour, spacious and very diverse, you have sand, you have rocks, you can even surf.
Lukasz Kubica — Google review
Astonishing beach. Amazing place to swim and enjoy. We parked somewhere that it took 10-15 mins walk to the beach and was a bit frustrating as it was too hot.
Have your water, drink, and snacks as there is nowhere closely to buy these.

Such a beautiful beach on the north of the island, with yellow and red sand. Its very quiet in the morning, I suggest to arrive there around 9am and you'll probably be alone! Parking is just 200mt from the beach.
Vins Prencipe — Google review
Very lovely beach and coastal area. Was fairly crowded when I went so keep that in mind, the beach is also quite small in general. Overall, would recommend anyone in the area to give it a go, well worth it!
Stratton Cahoon — Google review
Cala Algaiarens is a magnificent and spacious beach, perfect for daytime relaxation and activities. However, it's not the ideal spot for catching a sunset, as the sun sets early behind the mountain, obscuring the view. Morning visits are recommended for a truly scenic experience. The parking lot here is ample, ensuring convenience even during peak hours. So, if you're looking for a beautiful beach escape with plenty of space and an easy parking situation, Cala Algaiarens is a fantastic choice to enjoy the morning sun and the serene surroundings.

Líthica, Pedreres de s'Hostal is a former sandstone quarry turned historical landmark that features labyrinths, gardens and a cubic amphitheater for concerts. The site boasts an impressive scale and visitors can spend around two hours exploring the nooks and crannies of the area by following the normal route. The quarry has been utilized in construction projects throughout the island, but it also showcases lush vegetation as well as rocky landscapes.
Absolutely blown away by the sheer scale of this place! €15 for the 3 of us isn't bad for a good 2 hour visit, which is what they say it will take if you follow the normal route around. My son loved the labyrinth and just exploring all the nooks and crannies. Well worth a visit!
Clara Lewis — Google review
What an amazingly beautiful place! Hours can be spent exploring, getting lost, finding natural treasures, gorgeous views and little shaded nooks to have a rest and a drink of water in. Bring your family with children and prepare to see their curiosity sparked. Bring a picnic basket and a date and you'll have the most romantic time ever.
Highly recommended!

Stunning place, worthy to see but beware the heat if you're coming during summer! A great discovery for our first day on the island, we took a bit more than an hour but you can take as long as you want, it's so interesting to get lost between the stone and the vegetation (+1 for a very friendly cat that we met)... Parents know that your kid may wander but don't worry everyone seems to get lost at some point here (I think it's part of the experiment)... we loved the great labyrinth and it's very poetic message, would visit again and again!
Salomé Gotman — Google review
Curious place though expensive in my opinion - 12€. At some routes I enjoyed more vegetation rather than rock views.
Many of these rocks have been used in construction of the island.

Utterly stunning reclamation from industrial wasteland into a place of beauty and tranquility. This was a 45 minute walk out of town from our hotel, but well worth it. It is difficult to explain how wonderful the transformation has been at this site. Formerly a disused limestone quarry, which since 1994 has been turned into a large series of gardens in a labyrinth of quarried stone.

Great historical place... We needed much longer than planned as every corner deserved a moment.
Not crowded at all, friendly people at the info point (reception).
Santiago Peirano — Google review
An amazing place to explore if you have a lot of time on your hand. If you are in rush just skip this place as hands down it’s going take at least 2 hours out of your schedule. This place has an amazing maze, beautiful gardens, and some classic vintage work.
The entry was around 7 euros i.e 5 pounds for adults, it’s a little cheaper for senior citizens.
Parking is free and they have 2 sides on the left and right of the entrance where you can park.
Be extra careful if your taking your pets along with as the pathways are very narrow and you may come across alot of tourists and watch out for wasps.

Hard to find you need a hire car etc They had no Internet when we went so take euros. Takes around an hour to go round. Very good.
Karen Dalton — Google review
It's a limestone quarry of the old days, and kept in wonderful shape to continue and preserve the experience. It is a walk of about an hour or longer depending on how often you take the time to make use of the panorama view points along the route and alternative side options along the way. The quarry is something you will not easily encounter anywhere else, certainly not in the immensity and impressive sight you have here. Worth a visit or detour when on Menorca! On sunny days protect yourself from the sun, but there are sites under the trees while walking the tour. There are cold drinks to take away at the reception.

Cool place to explore whilst we were in the area, you don't realise how big the area is until your there! Great place for photos! The only downfall was along some paths we suddenly came across about 2 wasp nests which you had to walk within a meter of to get through. But the gardens were lovely and there's so many little hidden nooks to explore- you could definitely get lost here of you had a lot of time to kill! It was lovely!
Nicole Rounding — Google review
This is an amazing hidden gem. I was really in awe of the extent that this old quarry has been transformed into something quite beautiful. The different gardens and natural features were breathtaking. We went with a 6y and 1y old and it was fine with a buggy and enough to explore for the elder child. There are plenty of shady spots but do take plenty to drink on a hot day. Children under 12 are free too which was a bonus
Zoe Russell-Hobson — Google review
A must when you visit Menorca, there is an entrance fee (7euros) and please check their visiting hours before visit. You'll be provided with a map of the site so you can easily navigate the site. A maze at the bottom of the quarry which was amazing. You'll spend a minimum of 1hour wondering this site. Enjoy!
