Son Xoriguer

The quiet area of Son Xoriguer, with a beautiful beach of crystal clear waters and familiar ambiance, is one of the most esteemed nooks of the south-eastern coast of Menorca by those who travel with children. It is an immaculate destination where to relax, rest, eat healthy and have fun with your children while enjoying the excelled climate of Menorca. Son Xoriguer is a valued refuge by tourists from all around the world for summer holidays.

Its proximity to the centre of Ciutadella (11 km away) and to areas such as Cala´n Bosch, Cap de Artrutx, Ferreries and Cala Galdana make Son Xoriguer one of the most comfortable holiday areas and with the most services in Menorca. A place from where to discover the rest of the island and enjoy a different and perfect plan every day. From Grupotel Hotels & Resorts we offer you some tips.

What to see and what to do in Son Xoriguer

Discovering Cala Parejals: from Son Xoriguer beach, a welcoming cove of fine white sand and little swell, you have access to a section of the Camí de Cavalls (a coastal tour around the island) which connects to a beautiful cove of crystal clear waters called Cala Parejals. And a bit further, the Cova dels Pardals.
Bike tour with children: from our hotels in Cala´n Bosch and Son Xoriguer you can access to a route which connects Cap de Artrutx with the beaches. It is an easy, safe and quiet route with a beautiful landscape ideal for children: it starts at the beach, direction Cala´n Bosch, and finishes at the lighthouse.
Diving among coral reefs: just in front of Son Xoriguer’s coast we find one of the most emblematic reefs of Menorca´s sea, the so-called Cap de Porc reef, which has become a meeting point for diving lovers for its active and colourful submarine life.
Sunset in Cap de Artrutx: with its svelte 45-metre-high lighthouse facing Majorca´s coast -which is clearly visible on cloudless days-, this cape, indefatigable sentry of the boats arriving at the port, offers the best sunsets of the entire coast of Ciutadella.

Cala Canutells

Menorca is an island that offers quietness and shelter in itself, but it also features really special refuges, far away from the most tourist areas. Nooks like Cala Canutells, which despite being just 10 km away from the centre of the capital —Mahon—, offers the intimacy and quietness perfect for a romantic holiday as a couple or for some relaxing and leisure days with your children.

Cala Canutells is located at the mouth of a stream, which makes it a small haven of peace on the south-eastern coast of the island, between Cap Gros and Na Picada hill. Surrounded by Mediterranean nature, it lies close at hand from charming places like Binibeca, Sa Raganeta and Es Caparros. From Grupotel Hotels & Resorts we invite you to discover this fabulous area.

What to see and what to do in Cala Canutells

Mediterranean baths with your family: the calmness and safety of this coast have made Es Canutells one of the most recommended nooks for summer family trips: if you have children, you will enjoy like never before and without worries in the waters of this cove.
Sea routes in Calescoves: the most stunning cliffs of Menorca are close at hand from Es Canutells, in the area known as Calescoves in reference to its whimsical orography, full of rocks shaped out by the sea, its cliffs of more than 70 metres high and its typical Menorcan vegetation.
The village of Binibeca: despite its appearance, the village of Binibeca is not an old fishing town, but a residential area built in 1970 in the likeness of a fishing village. It invites its visitors to have a walk around its small houses, enjoy its familiar ambiance and comfortable services.
Ciutadella: all the villages of Menorca are worth a visit... but Ciutadella, the old capital of the island, is an essential stop during your trip. Its old town is of an incomparable beauty and wandering along its intricate streets, its squares and its arcades is an authentic privileged experience. Under the arcades there are several recommendable bars and restaurants, ideal for a tapas route, for savouring a craft beer, a Xoriguer gin and the best Menorcan wines.
