Cala Morell

This is one of the few developments on the north coast of Menorca. No large hotels exist here, only villas built in the Menorcan style which help to create a slightly "exclusive" feel.

The beach in Cala Morell is small, although there are some excellent platforms in the surrounding cliffs for swimming and snorkelling. The area also has some incredible prehistoric caves, many of whose artifacts are now on show in the Museu de Menorca.

Tourist attractions near Cala Morell (4)

Naveta des Tudons (5.6 km) - show on map

The oldest roofed building in Spain and an ancient burial site (naveta meaning burial chamber) that yielded over 100 corpses during excavations in the 1950s. Admission is free.

Museu Municipal de Ciutadella (6.6 km) - show on map

Originally built as a fortress, the Bastio de Sa Font was renovated as a museum in the mid 1990's. Thanks to many archaeological excavations, the museum can tell the history of the island from Pre-Talaiotic, through to Muslim times. Collections include Iron Age skulls, Roman coins and jewellery.

Trotting races (8.3 km) - show on map

A popular sport in the Balearics for over 200 years, trotting races are held at weekends both in Mahon and Ciutadella. The jockey must prevent the horse from breaking into a gallop, hence the name "trotting". Great to watch but even better if you place the winning bet!

Cala Blanca (9.1 km) - show on map

Worthy of note only for the fact that, as a beach, it has been completely dwarfed by the development around it! Cala Blanca is probably not a beach to visit by itself, the attraction is the development of restaurants and holiday facilities around it.
