Coves near Ciutadella

Ciutadella is located on the western tip of Menorca, near some of the island’s most famous coves:

• South coast: Cala en Turqueta, Macarella, Macarelleta, Son Saura, and Cala des Talaier.
• North coast: wilder coves with reddish sand, sheltered when the south wind blows.

Practical Guide: Choosing a Coast Based on the Wind

• With a tramontana (north wind), the north coast gets choppy: head south.
• With a southerly wind or migjorn, seek shelter on the north coast.
• Check the forecast the afternoon before and in the morning.
• In summer, the wind usually picks up in the afternoon: plan your return trip with plenty of time to spare.

What’s Included in the Rental

• A serviced and clean boat.
• Briefing on the boat and the area before departure.
• Garmin electronics (GPS, chartplotter, and depth sounder).
• GPS tracking throughout the day.
• Fuel based on actual consumption, with no fixed charges.

Guided Tour: What to Expect

On the 4-hour private excursion, the skipper chooses the most sheltered stretch of coastline for the day, anchors in coves where the water is clearest, and gives you time to swim and snorkel. Fuel and activities are included, so all you need to bring is a towel, sunscreen, and a desire to have fun.

Sailing School

Mestral Menorca has been training sailors since 2017. If you want to earn a certification while on vacation, ask about their courses: sailing with an instructor along the coast of Menorca is the best way to learn.
