If you’re planning to sail Menorca, or just want to live vicariously through us as we bounced from cove to cove, here’s our itinerary — including Ciutadella, Son Saura, Cales Coves, and Mahon — plus everything we loved (and learned the salty way) along the way.

Tucked away on Menorca’s south coast, Cales Coves is the kind of place that makes you whisper “whoa” out loud as you sail in. Towering cliffs, deep blue water, and more mysterious sea caves than you can count — it’s like a set from Pirates of the Caribbean, but with better cheese and less drama.

If you're sailing Menorca or just visiting by land, here’s everything you need to know about what to do in Cales Coves, plus a peek into its ancient (and kinda eerie) past.
