The Menorca region

The resort of Cala'n Porter is one of the largest coastal developments of the municipal district of Alaior, along the central south coast of Menorca.
At a little over 12km, or 8 miles, the transfer into the resort from the international Aeropuerto de Menorca, is possibly one of the shortest on the island, and should usually take no more than 15 minutes from the time you leave the airport grounds.

Over all, the island of Menorca is an ideal retreat for people yearning to relax. The fine sanded shores (over 200 kilometers in length) coupled with green sceneries in the countryside, plus the great weather, will surely make up a great vacation time for everyone.

Cala'n Porter area

The resort of Cala'n Porter is recognised as being one of the largest developments on the south coast, and is often described by the major tour operators being "lively". By Menorcan standards it probably is, however, don't go expecting to find another Magaluf or Playa de las Americas here, Menorca just isn't like that, which for most people who holiday here is attraction enough. As with most resorts on the island, their is evening entertainment here during the summer months, Cala'n Porter does have a small number of lively bars, and at least one late night disco at the Cova d'en Xoroi (not to be missed, the views from the dance floor in the early hours of the morning are amazing, its only a 10 minute walk from the apartment) The resort is famous throughout all of Menorca for the Cave and legend of Xoroi. He was a pirate who kidnapped a local girl and held her prisoner in the cave for 10 years. They had several children together before she was finally rescued after his footsteps in the snow gave away their hiding place. During the day the cave serves as a bar, however this then transforms into a disco from 11pm until dawn.

Once you are in the resort, and have settled in to your accommodation, the journey back into Mahon for shopping or sightseeing, is then fairly easy by public transport. During the summer months there's usually around 5 or 6 buses a day running into the capital, and once there, further connections are then available to travel further afield

Cala'n porter's sandy beach is for the whole family! It has a park for the young children and a shallow area for paddling, it’s also has restaurants, bars and shops along the side of the beach. Sun beds, and umbrella's are for rent and also pedalos for those that would like to explore the sea and caves that are around the complex. There is a train that travels from the town centre to the beach for a simple fare. If you and your partner are looking for a romantic scene why not stroll down to the beach and watch the breathe taking sunrise or sunset.

Despite what many people may think, fiestas on Menorca are not held purely for the benefit of tourists, and the origins of many can be traced way back to the 14th Century. To the local residents, the word "fiesta" automatically conjures up images of horses and their riders, dressed in mainly black and white and decorated with ribbons, embroidery and multi-coloured carnations, also the consumption of “Pomada”, the local fiesta drink, which is a combination of gin and lemon, and finally “Coca amb Xocolati”, which is a traditionally baked cake with a sweet chocolate drink to accompany it. A typical fiesta begins on the afternoon before the Saint's day with the horses and their riders meeting and parading through the streets before congregating at the church for Mass. In the evening there is often live music and traditional folk dancing, and then a magnificent firework display ends the celebrations at around midnight.
