Map & location
Cala Galdana, Menorca, Balearics, Spain
Set on Menorca’s serene south coast, Melia Cala Galdana overlooks a postcard-perfect horseshoe bay of white sand and shallow, aquamarine water – ideal for paddling and paddleboarding. The resort of Cala Galdana is purpose-built but low-rise and leafy, with a handful of cafés, restaurants and mini-markets just a short stroll away.
Nature lovers are well placed too: coastal paths lead towards unspoilt coves such as Cala Mitjana and Cala Macarella, while inland you’ll find green countryside, birdlife and limestone gorges to explore. Historic Ciutadella and the island capital Mahón are both within easy day‑trip reach by bus or hire car.
- Ciutadella around 25km
- Mahón (Maó) town around 35km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 50 minutes
