The resort of Cala Blanca lies on the west coast of Menorca, and although being only 20km from the airport at Mahon, transfer time is generally around 45 minutes from leaving the airport grounds.
Cala Blanca is one of Menorca's newest resorts. Most of the town was only built in the early 1990's to accommodate an increasing demand for holiday accommodation on the island, and it has to be said this is not my favourite resort.

The town itself now stretches from the original beach at Cala Blanca, through a confusing one way system, north towards Ciudadela, until it finally merges with the neighbouring resort of Cala Santandria.

The two small beaches are very clean, with fine gently shelving sand, protected by rocky sides, but be aware they can become very busy in high season. Both beaches also offer a fair variety of water sports facilities and equipment for hire.

The resort does have a good pedestrianised shopping area in the centre of the town around the Maribel area (see resort map), that offers visitors a good range of souvenir shops, restaurants, and SPA type supermarkets that also carry many UK branded goods.

A regular bus service does run into Ciudadela every hour during the summer months, and also the more leisurely mini train runs around the resort during the day and early evening.

As with most resorts in Menorca, evening entertainment is mainly hotel based, however, the resort does have a lively few music bars and even a disco at nearby Cala Santandria. But don't expect all night foam parties, Menorca just isn't like that.
