Cala Galdana – The Only Beach in Menorca With Hotels Around

Menorca is one of the best-preserved islands in the Mediterranean Sea. It is the rules in effect that help to keep the seashore clean. The local authorities do their best to protect the coastline from waste and “ugly” buildings. However, there is one beach in Menorca that does have hotels around: it is Cala Galdana.

Located in the Southern part of Menorca, Cala Galdana is a unique cove. Indeed, it is the only beach in Menorca with hotels around. But it is not a seaside resort like you can find in Mallorca or Ibiza. On Menorca, the few apartments are integrated harmoniously into the landscape.

Their colors are the same as the colors of the landscape: white, green, and blue. Here is a picture I took of a hotel in Cala Galdana.
