Cala Pregonda

Cala Pregonda, at the north of the island, is one of the most known and appreciated beaches in Menorca, a beach like no other because of its distinguishing features.

Cala Pregonda is beautifully located inside a bay, well protected by two "mini" rocky islands (Illot and Esculls de Pregonda; do you dare climb them?). The sand is red/golden and the water is crystal clear, making this place a real paradise.

A few hundred metres south-east of Cala Pregonda, you will find Cala Pregondó, which is a bit smaller.

The area’s sand has become reddish as a result of the large presence of the pedra vermella (red stone). Between the cliffs, the crystal-clear water contrasts with the...

One of Europe’s most beautiful beaches and little bay.

This place is simply stunning. From the immaculate crystal clear waters, to the yellow, orange sand and the beautiful, almost surreal landscape that surrounds it.

The little islands in the bay protect this beach from swells. The walk here is a beautiful stroll through a stunning landscape filled with lush greens, an swampy nature reserve and at times Mars like rock formations.

Simply beautiful and on a calm day like this, a place to endulge and relax. Far far away from the rush and reality of these pandemic...
