Cala Tortuga<\/em> is a virgin beach located on the east coast of Menorca, in the natural park of s’Albufera des Grau<\/em><\/strong>, one of the principal points of the Menorcan Biosphere Reserve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounded by spectacular scenery, this small corner of the island is perfect for enjoying a day at the beach with the family because of its shallow depth and calm waters. On this beach, over the years, dunes have been forming in the back where turtles usually live, hence the name of Cala Tortuga<\/em> (Turtle Cove).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Paisaje<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cala Tortuga is located on the route of the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls<\/em><\/strong>, so it invites you to walk and contemplate the rugged landscape of this island area for those who like to be in contact with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can get there by car or motorcycle. Still, in recent years, you should know that private traffic to the lighthouse of F\u00e0varitx<\/em> has been closed during the summer season to preserve the ecological richness of the area during the months of the most significant tourist influx. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ma\u00f3<\/em>, Cala Tortuga<\/em> is 17 km away. Shortly before reaching the lighthouse, you can park your vehicle in the provisional parking enabled a few meters from the entrance of the estate Son Camamil.la<\/em>. From here, you have to continue along the Cam\u00ed dels Cavalls<\/em>, walking about 3 km, passing first Cala Presili<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to use public transport, during the summer months, you can use the bus line 43<\/strong><\/a> Ma\u00f3 – Fav\u00e0ritx – Ma\u00f3<\/em>, which will leave you at 1.8 km from Cala Tortuga<\/em> walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enjoy the nature and wild landscape of this island area, we recommend you to make an excursion along the Cam\u00ed dels Cavalls<\/em>. Leaving from Mah\u00f3n towards Es Grau<\/em>, the distance is just under 20 km. If you prefer a shorter walk, you can take the stage from Es Grau<\/em> to Faro Fav\u00e0ritx<\/em>, passing Cala Tortuga<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Entorno<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where to stay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether traveling with your family or group of friends, our selection of villas in Menorca with a private pool<\/a> offers you all the comforts and the best locations in the island for you to spend an unforgettable vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you feel like enjoying the wild beauty of the island’s north coast. In that case, we recommend our villas <\/strong>Datil<\/strong><\/a> and Garbo<\/strong><\/a>, located in Arenal D’en Castell<\/em><\/strong>, a small and quiet fishing village perfect for making it your home during your stay in Menorca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Villa<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What to do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it is a virgin beach, you must consider that you will not find any service, so we recommend that you bring everything you might need from home if you are going to spend the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the characteristics of this beach is its tranquility, so it is the perfect place to enjoy the calm and relaxation of a day at the beach. Lie in the sun and bathe in its crystal clear waters while contemplating the lighthouse’s F\u00e0varitx<\/em> lighthouse from the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vista<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also take advantage of the calm waters of the cove to snorkel<\/strong> or scuba dive<\/strong> while you discover its rocky sides. The landscape surrounding the beach is well worth an excursion, so you can go hiking in the surroundings or take a stage of the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls<\/em> in this protected environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in Cala Tortuga<\/em> you can not miss a visit to the Fav\u00e0ritx<\/em> lighthouse, one of the most famous lighthouses<\/a> of Menorca, and immortalize its iconic silhouette. You can also take advantage of the end of the day to enjoy one of the most impressive sunsets of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Faro<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the beach, there are outstanding views of the Morella Lagoon<\/strong>, and if you like birds, it is an excellent place for watching various aquatic birds and seeing the turtles that live here. It is a good time to know the diversity of habitats and landscapes of S’Albufera d’Es Grau<\/em><\/strong>, composed of materials dating back more than 300 million years and declared a Natural Park<\/strong> in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to eat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing and tasting Menorcan gastronomy<\/a><\/strong> is a luxury that you cannot miss if you come to Menorca. Our traditional cuisine combines to perfection the rural products of the island’s interior and the fish and seafood of the Mediterranean. To taste the traditional cuisine is to discover the most authentic history and traditions through our most traditional dishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are staying at Arenal d’en Castell<\/em> we recommend you to visit the Blue Arenal <\/strong>restaurant, where you can taste dishes with Mediterranean flavor made with fresh products while contemplating beautiful views of the Arenal bay. They also have a chill-out area with music to enjoy a drink on summer nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another good option in the area is the Alcalde <\/strong>restaurant to enjoy good rice or grilled meat in the purest Mediterranean style in a unique setting overlooking the sea. At sunset, they open the terrace Alcalde Lounge Bar<\/strong>, where you can listen to good music while enjoying a delicious cocktail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
