Whatever kind of holidaymaker you are and whatever type of holiday you’re after, there’s something for you around Cala Galdana. Villas in the area offer a great place to start whatever activity you’re after, whether you’re limiting yourself to entertainments within and around the area or just need a great base from which to the spectacular island of Menorca.

For Those Craving Active Excitement

Explore the shallows of the seas around the island by a snorkelling expedition. The clean and clear waters provide the perfect place to get up close and personal with the friendly local sea life!

For something a little less staid, a whole new world of activities opens up for you if you fancy an adrenaline rush. All within a short drive, wakeboarding, water-skiing, even paragliding and rubber-rafting behind a speedboat are among the exciting activities you can undertake when staying in the Cala Galdana villas.

A Little Exertion, But Not Too Much

Walking and cycling around Menorca and the other Balearic islands nearby is definitely a popular pastime, and the many excellent hiking trails through the numerous nature reserves offer spectacular views.

Cami de Cavalls is a very popular trail, leading to a stunning coastline of golden beaches and charming fishing villages; while the trails through the gently rolling hills lead to traditional market towns and villages. You can also visit the prehistoric sites, go birdwatching or take a mixed-theme photography tour – the whole island’s beauty is laid out before you. Horseback riding and golf are two other popular activities on the island. (There are several riding schools where you can take lessons if you're a beginner on a horse.)

Just Lounging Around

Food and wine tours are a great way to spend some down time when staying in one of the wonderful Cala Galdana villas. Restaurant and farmhouse tours may not strenuous, but they are definitely fun and relaxing!

If you fancy sampling the local cuisine under your own steam, depending on your tastes and inclination, you can go as simple or as fancy as you’d like. Seafood and fresh produce abound on the island, so food quality is definitely high to begin with. Spanish cuisine, particularly the Menorcan variety, is the staple – but different establishments offer their own variations on the traditional menus.
