User reviews

"This stunning beach in Menorca is a true gem! The crystal clear turquoise waters glisten in the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing effect. Snorkeling here is a real treat, making it a must-visit spot. Highly recommended!"

Kamila

"Cala Alcaufar is only a 15-minute drive from S'Algar, but it's not worth the trip. The cove is tiny and the water is not as pristine as advertised. The bar and restaurant are also not up to par."
