The resort of Cala Galdana lies on the south coast of Minorca, approx 15 km and 30 minutes transfer time from the island's airport at Mahon.

As with the resort of Arenal d'en Castell in the north, Cala Galdana is a near perfect horse shoe bay, surrounded by almost vertical pine clad cliffs. Without a doubt this resort is considered to be the most beautiful and picturesque on the island, and frequently features on the cover of many of the tour operators brochures.

The height of these cliffs also gives those with accommodation at the top, spectacular views over the bay. However, for those less mobile, or families with young children, please bear in mind that access to the beach may be via a considerable number of steps. So choose your holiday accommodation carefully.

The warm shallow waters make Cala Galdana very popular with families, and the beach is without doubt a major attraction to the resort with fine, clean sand and a good variety of water sports and other facilities available.

By Menorcan standards the town is served by a good bus service. In high season a bus runs 5 times a day into the nearby town of Ferreries, and for the more adventurous connections are then available to both Mahon and Ciudadela.
