If you are thinking about a getaway with your best friend, there is a slow route you can't miss:
Quiet coves, authentic tastes and leisurely walks through corners that still retain the essence of the island. That friend with whom conversations do not need a clock, that you would invite to get lost with you among the scents of the sea and summer.
Cala Pilar
A virgin beach with reddish sand, surrounded by untouched nature. The path requires a bit of effort, but the reward is absolute: crystal-clear waters, pristine vegetation, and a silence that says it all.
Ciutadella Old Town
Start the day in Plaça Nova with a handmade ensaïmada and a café con leche under the arches of a charming terrace. The cobbled streets, the sound of footsteps, and the smell of the bakery turn the morning into a moment to remember.
Binimel·là and Cala Pregonda
A 40-minute walk from Binimel·là beach, through red soil and a lunar landscape, leads you to one of Menorca’s best-kept secrets. Arriving at Cala Pregonda is an experience in itself: golden sand, calm waters protected by islets, and a silence that invites you to stay. There is no signal, no beach bars, no artificial music. Just you, the sea, and all the things you don’t need to say.
Here, every gesture matters. You can snorkel among the rocks and discover little "peix preguers", walk barefoot on the red sand and feel how it shifts under your feet, or sit on top of a rock and observe the landscape without altering it. Bring a zero-waste picnic, take everything you came with, and enjoy the silence from time to time: Pregonda will thank you with a gentle breeze and a light that seems meant just for you.
In every virgin cove, there is a shared responsibility: to preserve what makes this corner of the Mediterranean unique. That’s why your friend thought of you—because in places like this, memories grow deeper.
Sagitario Llocs
After a day of calas and unhurried walks, discover the authentic flavor of Menorca at S’Aranjassa. A guided tour of the estate followed by a tasting of Mahón-Menorca cheeses and artisanal sausages will connect you to the essence of the island.
Pause for a lunch with Menorcan countryside flavors: aged Mahón cheese, sobrasada, and bread with local olive oil. And if the place offers shade, extend your sobremesa in laughter and calm.
Location: Camí d’en Kane, km 2, 07740 Es Mercadal

Cala Morell
End the route with a visit to Cala Morell, a rocky cove with deep waters—ideal for a late swim or just to sit and watch the sunset. Its natural rock formations are truly spectacular: one of them, sculpted by the wind and sea, resembles the silhouette of an elephant looking out over the water. If you enjoy history, just a few steps away you’ll find the Talayotic necropolis, with caves carved into stone that whisper stories of an ancient and silent Menorca.
