Casa Mestral

Casa Mestral enjoys a fabulous beachfront location in the south western corner of Menorca. The area of Cap d’Artrutx, Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer is peaceful, sun-drenched and designed with tourists in mind. The beaches are lovely, some with watersports and there are plenty of good restaurants and bars. The sunsets in this dreamy corner of Menorca are sensational. You can enjoy a wonderful day traveling east along the coast. After approximately 50 minutes you will reach a very special cove called Cala Parejals. Close to this is the Cueva de los Gorriones, a fascinating cave that is worth a visit.

You can take a bus or drive to Ciutadella with its elegant streets, many shops, excellent restaurants, bars and its vibrant, picturesque port. Ciutadella is known as ‘Vella I Belli’ (‘Old and Beautiful’). It is Menorca’s second city with an engaging old quarter lined with grand gold-tinged buildings. The medieval streets are filled with palaces, churches and fortresses as well as wonderful restaurants and bars. Placa d’es Born is one of the most picturesque squares in Ciutadella. It is a delight to explore. Waterside dining can be found at the port. If you get there early enough you can watch the fishermen bringing in the local catch of the day. You can also catch a ferry from Ciutadella to Alcudia in Mallorca. Ciutedella celebrates its local festival on 23 and 24 June each year and the party is one of the most spectacular festivals in Menorca.

Cala en Bosch also enjoys a fabulous marina that sweeps inland connected to the sea via a narrow channel. Its a wonderful spot for a scenic stroll admiring the speed boats and colourful fishing boats that are anchored. For some thrilling family fun you can visit the brilliant Aquarock waterpark or try your hands at go-karting. You will find some fabulous fish restaurants overlooking the marina. Around the headland is the outstanding Son Xoriguer Beach with its excellent range of watersports. Mallorca lies just 10 km south of this area so the views are delightful. Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer were built in the 1980’s so rather than being pretty, they are livelier and full of tourist amenities.

In the countryside, you will discover the pretty, whitewashed village of Ferreries. It dates back to the 13th century although the main church of Saint Bartholomew was built in the 18th century. Ferreries is an important industrial town for shoes and furniture and boasts a busy Saturday morning market in the Plaza Espana. You can shop for homemade produce, cheese, cold meat specialities, spicy local sausage, pastries, cakes, jams and honey. There are also fabulous handicrafts such as macrame, etched glass, leatherwork and the famous abarca sandals. The fair enjoys the sounds of island music and folklore dance so it is a lovely excursion. Ferreries enjoys some excellent tapas bars, charming boutiques, jewellery shops, leather shops and Mascaro, an international shoe maker. Most of the factories sell direct to the public. The countryside of Menorca is sprinkled with historical monuments and traces of the island’s long history. You will discover talaiots, ancient fortresses which were built around 3000 years ago for defence as well as many rural paths, ancient woodlands, beautiful valleys and gorges. The island’s coastal path Cami De Cavalls is a total wonder with access to beautiful sandy beaches, rocky diving pools and reefs resplendent with sea life.

Between the villa and Ferreries on the coast road is Cala Galdana, a very beautiful area at the base of the Algendar Gorge. The Algendar River divides Cala Galdana with the west side known as Serpentona. The Serpentona district offers a much wider selection of restaurants, bars, shops and it also boasts a small marina. Cala Galdana’s beach is spectacular, a large shell shaped, white golden sanded beach with shallow turquoise water. Kayaking, paddle boats and stand up pedal boards are available for hire. Some of the island’s most idyllic beaches are within walking distance including East Cala Mitjana, Cala Trebaluger, West Cala Macarella, Macarelleta and Cala en Turqueta.

Along from Cala Galdana is Santa Tomas, a delightful beach resort with an excellent beach, some very good restaurants, fabulous bars and clubs and Hawaiian style beach bars. You can enjoy Pomada’s watching the sun go down. They are made with Menorca’s own Xoriguer sloe gin, lemon Fanta, ice and lemon.
