The Menorca region
It was named Minorca by the Romans meaning the "Little One" compared to Majorca the "Large One." The first evidence of occupation on Menorca dates from around 2100 BC and the earliest structures are believed to be, the navetas, (looking like an upturned boat) and are approximately 3500 years old. Between 3000 & 3500 years ago, fortified towers were built by bronze age people, and more than 200 of their strange towers stand to this day.
Menorca is just 25 miles long and 17 miles wide, with a few mostly laid back beach resorts and around 120 beaches, thats more than the rest of the Balearic islands together, coves, bays, and harbours around the rocky coastline. There are several excellent prehistoric sites and places of historic interest, including grand Menorcan country farmhouses.
Mahon has been the capital of Menorca, since the British changed it from Ciutadella in 1721. The reason was the harbour; at 5 km long, over 1 km at its widest point, and 15-30 m deep, it is the second largest natural harbours in the world, this coupled with its location in the Mediterranean has made it a strategic stronghold for many nations throughout history. The city of Mahon was named after General Magon (Hannibal´s brother) a Carthaginian invader.
The port itself is relaxed by day and buzzing by night. The bars and restaurants along the quayside come alive at night and it is easy to spend many hours down on the port, watching the ships, admiring the view, enjoying the hospitality of the restaurants, or just sat taking in the atmosphere.
Cala'n Porter area
A large resort by Menorcan standards and one of the oldest on the island. Cala’n Porter is situated on the south coast, in a magnificent setting on the cliffs above a large deep beach. It is easily accessible by both car and bus, and offers everything a visitor could want from a holiday resort.
Calan Porter and Menorca is the perfect place to relax and chill out during day time, and at night you have the choice to carry on chilling out in the more quiet bars and pubs, or the choice to go out and dance the night away in their many bars, pubs and clubs that are open nearly all night.
This is a busy fun resort, with a wide choice of shops, bars and restaurants. Situated on the south coast of the island, it has a horseshoe shaped bay and large gently shelving sandy beach with cliffs on each side. The resort has something to offer for everyone, whether it is a relaxed beach holiday or a lively holiday spent dancing the nights away in the many local bars, being the recently open in Summer 06 Flava´ Bar, the favourite of the holidaymakers. The famous “Xoroi” discotheque set in natural caves halfway down in the cliffside overlooks the sea and is perhaps the liveliest discotheque in Menorca. Calan Porter is always popular as it caters for people of all ages. The resort is set back from the beach set into the cliff face, or by the road from the centre of the resort. Everything is on hand, from well stocked supermarkets to bars/ restaurants catering for all your needs.
There is also a brand new Pharmacy and a Hair dressers.
Bars and Restaurats serve everything from fast food to typical Menorcan cuisine. Some of the best chefs on the island work in Calan Porter.
Cala'n Porter can be described as being lively, with plenty of modern bars and restaurants, and also has the largest and most beautiful and original night club on the island, built in to a natural cave, Cova den Xoroi. Set high in the rocks, it's a cave bar with fantastic sea views by day, that you can visit and enjoy a quiet drink and a beautiful and amazing sunset. From 11 hours turns into a night club, with nights like Urban Flava Menorca, and Foam party, however the caves its situated 15 to 20 minutes walking distance (may be more on your way back !!) form the Villa so there is no problem with noise guaranteed !
There are plenty of bars, pubs, and restaurants around the resort, that cater for all ages, cocktail bars, sports bars, irish bar, american themed restaurants, menorca cuisine restaurants, etc...
As we said one of the most spectacular clubs of Spain, and classed amongst the 5 top most spectacular clubs in the world, is here in this resort, called Cova den Xoroi, where you can chill out during daytime and party up during night time. This club is set in the middle of the cliffs to a reasonable distance to any villas, including this one, so there is absolutely no noise to be worried about, not even from the own clubs car park can you hear any music.
Inside the main strip, the favourite of the holidaymakers has to be Flava Bar, recently opened in 2006, hosting many theme nights and events, have a look at their website at www.flavabarmenorca.com.
Seven buses a day run into nearby Mahon during the Summer months.The distance between Calan Porter and the island´s capital, Mahón, is only 13 Km, (15 minutes drive), and some 10 minutes drive to Mahón`s airport.
