Key features
Beach overall scores
Cala de Ilucalari (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Son Bou settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Menorca, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The cove is absolutely stunning, perfect for taking a refreshing swim and enjoying a small pebble beach. Both paths leading to the cove are quite rocky and uneven, with some hilly areas, but as long as you wear suitable footwear, it's a breeze to reach! It's definitely worth paying a visit as it offers a fairly quiet and peaceful atmosphere."

"I walked all the way from Calan Porter to this beach and was greeted by a lovely view. However, I strongly advise against coming here unprepared. It is essential to bring enough water and be aware that you will need to walk back as well."

Cala de Ilucalari (Menorca) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala de Ilucalari (Menorca) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala de Ilucalari for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
