MINURA Cala Galdana and Apartments d Aljandar

In the peaceful surroundings of Cala Galdana – a relaxed resort that has sprung up along the sheltered cove it takes its name from – this hotel and apartment complex ticks a lot of those essential holiday boxes. With a prime spot in the centre of town, close to the beach and with local shops, bars, and restaurants nearby, this could be the ideal spot for your next sunshine getaway.

You’ll be just a stone’s throw – or about three minutes’ walk – from one of Menorca’s best beaches, so this is definitely the place to stay if you love long afternoons spent lazing about on the shore. If you'd rather stay at the hotel, however, you’ll find two decent-sized swimming pool, plus a pair of splash pool perfect for little ones. During the day you can expect lots of fun and games organised by the on-site animations team, while evenings revolve around the entertainment offering. The outdoor stage is home to the likes of live music and professional dance performances.

Food-wise you can expect generous buffets in the main restaurant that showcase all manner of local and international cuisines. Dotted around the complex you’ll also find a couple of snack bars, perfect for grabbing a light bite between meals that you can tuck into from the comfort of your sun lounger. If you’re not too busy taking in the nightly entertainment, meanwhile, you can grab a sophisticated drink in the piano bar, or a relaxed pint in the cosy English pub.
