Itinerary ideas

1. DAY: South Menorca - Turquoise waters and picture postcard coves

We set sail from Ciutadella early in the morning towards the famous coves of the south. Our first stop will be Son Saura, a large and quiet cove, perfect for the first swim of the day.

From there, we sail towards Cala Turqueta, a jewel of crystalline waters surrounded by pine trees. We make a long stop to enjoy snorkelling, relax on deck or go ashore if you wish.

At midday, we continue to Cala Macarella and Macarelleta, possibly Menorca’s most iconic coves. We have lunch on board at anchor in front of these white sandy beaches, or ashore if you prefer a local restaurant.

After an afternoon of relaxation and smooth sailing, we return to Ciutadella at sunset. It is a perfect day for those who are looking for unspoilt beaches and crystal clear water without rushing.

2. DAYS: South Menorca - Unspoilt coves and night under the stars

Day 1:

We set sail from Mahón in the morning, heading southwest. Our first stop will be Binibèquer, where we can enjoy a first swim and explore the picturesque village of white houses. Then we continue to Cala en Porter, a sheltered cove between cliffs where we can have lunch on board or in one of the restaurants.

In the afternoon we sail to Cala Coves, one of the most special coves on the island, with prehistoric caves and a magical atmosphere. It is ideal for snorkelling and tranquillity. Here we anchor for the night surrounded by nature and under a starry sky.

Day 2:

After breakfast, we sail to Cala Mitjana, one of the jewels of Menorca. Turquoise water, white sand and unspoilt surroundings. We can also go to Macarella and Macarelleta, if the conditions allow it. We spend the day bathing, relaxing and slow sailing.

In the afternoon we return to Mahón, making a last brief stop at Cala Alcaufar to say goodbye to the sea. An ideal itinerary to disconnect and enjoy the purest Menorca.

3. DAYS: South Menorca - Unspoilt coves, turquoise waters and total tranquillity

Day 1:

We set sail from the Port of Mahón heading southwest, bordering the coast until we reach Cala Mitjana, one of the most iconic coves. Here we anchor for a swim in its clear waters, surrounded by pine forests. We have lunch on board and in the afternoon we sail towards Cala Macarella and Macarelleta, true postcards of the Mediterranean. At sunset, we look for a quiet anchorage between the two coves to spend the night under the stars.

Day 2:

After a morning swim and breakfast on board, we continue towards Cala Turqueta, another natural jewel of intense blue waters. Further on, we reach Son Saura, with more space for anchoring and long beaches for strolling. Here we spend the afternoon bathing and relaxing. In the evening we anchor close by or we can go on to Cala en Bosch, where we can go down to the harbour for dinner and supplies.

Day 3:

We start the day by heading for Cala Galdana, a larger beach with all services, ideal for a last swim and relaxation. If the sea permits, we can visit Cala Escorxada or Trebalúger, less accessible and very quiet. We finish by returning to Mahón in the afternoon after three days of pure calm and crystal clear sea.

After a week on board the Beneteau Cyclades 43.4, I can say that it has been one of the best experiences at sea I have ever had. From the very first moment, this sailboat offered us everything we needed to enjoy sailing, comfort and the freedom to explore Menorca from a unique perspective.
