Cala Blanca Holidays 2024/2025 | Cheap Holidays to Cala Blanca

If you're looking to spend your time in a quiet but contemporary resort, then Cala Blanca holidays are a very good option. This sun-soaked town, located on the west coast of Menorca, is a fairly large resort, but is still very quaint and peaceful. It's located only 5 kilometres from the old capital of Menorca, Ciutadella, and 50 kilometres from the current capital, Mahon.

Cala Blanca was only built in the early 1990's to cope with Menorca's increasing tourist population, and as such offers all the pleasures one would expect from their Menorca holidays, from gorgeous beaches and popular restaurants to modern hotels and also a good shopping district. As quite a sleepy village it'd be the perfect choice for families who are looking for a peaceful holiday but want to visit somewhere new.

So if you're looking for rest and relaxation with charming contemporary architecture and great scenery, holidays to Cala Blanca are for you and your family!

Culture
Due to its construction in the early 1990's, Cala Blanca's relative modernity means it doesn't possess a good deal of ancient sites, though these are more evident in the capital Mahon, and especially nearby Ciutadella. Known as Menorca's religious centre, Ciutadella has an amazing history; in 1558 it was conquered by the Turkish Armada after a siege that lasted 8 days, with only a few hundred men defending it. 3,099 of those who survived this siege were then captured and sold as slaves in Turkey.
Nowadays, the town is well regarded for its medieval charm; make sure to visit the Cathedral of Menorca, which was built on the site of a mosque, and completed in 1287.
Though Cala Blanca is a modern and contemporary location, you'll find cultural practices dating back to the 14th Century. The villagers love to celebrate the festivals of their Saints, so if you're heading out in January you'll be able to visit the first festival of the year, the Fiesta De Sant Antono. Taking place on the 17th, you can expect lots of music and feasts. On the same day Ciutadella hosts an annual agricultural and handicraft fair, which is the perfect opportunity to pick up some good keepsakes!
If you're visiting in summer, look out for the fiesta Any De sa Desgracia in Ciutadella on July 9th , which commemorates the town's brutal destruction after Turkish troops invaded in 1558.
Nightlife
Cala Blanca is a relatively small town, so like many other resorts in Menorca, family-orientated and humorous evening entertainent will be provided by your hotel. This of course isn't obligatory though, so get down to the centre of town!
Cala Blanca is quite lucky to possess a good few bars and restaurants, which are very lively in the evening. Some of them are located in picturesque locations right next to the beach, and offer music, drinks, good food and plenty of friendly atmosphere, making it a great evening out for families with young kids and elderly people.
For younger people who want to dance the night away, a visit to nearby Cala Santandria is a must. Located next to Cala Blanca, it features a club that is very popular with young people from both villages.
