Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that offer both fun and a touch of education. Our recent trip to Ciutadella de Menorca was no exception, and the Menorca Southern Beaches Tour was the perfect choice for our family. The promise of exploring remote coves and indulging in local cuisine was too tempting to resist.

We began our day at the Faro Cap d’Artruix, a stunning lighthouse that set the tone for the adventure ahead. The kids were fascinated by the lighthouse’s history, and it was a great opportunity to sneak in a little learning while they were captivated by the views. As we boarded the boat, the friendly crew welcomed us with open arms, making us feel right at home. Their warmth and attentiveness were evident from the start, and I knew we were in for a memorable day.

Discovering Hidden Gems

Our first stop was Playa Arenal De Son Saura, where we disembarked to enjoy the pristine beach. The kids couldn’t wait to splash in the crystal-clear waters, and I was thrilled to see them so engaged with nature. We took a short walk to Es Talaier cove, a hidden gem that offered a peaceful retreat from the more crowded beaches. The path was easy enough for the kids to navigate, and they loved the sense of adventure as we explored the area together.

Back on the boat, we were treated to a delightful Mediterranean-style paella, accompanied by refreshing sangria and orangeade. The meal was a highlight of the trip, and even my picky eaters couldn’t resist the delicious flavors. The sailors’ hospitality shone through as they ensured everyone was well-fed and comfortable, adding a personal touch to the experience.

A Day to Remember

As we continued our journey, we visited the famous coves of Cala Macarella and Cala Macarelleta. The breathtaking scenery left us all in awe, and the kids were eager to dive into the inviting waters. The clear, turquoise sea was perfect for snorkeling, and we spent hours exploring the vibrant marine life beneath the surface.

Our final stop was Cala Turqueta, a popular spot known for its stunning beauty. The kids loved the opportunity to swim both from the sand and directly from the boat, and I appreciated the chance to relax and soak in the sun. The day flew by, and as we sailed back to the lighthouse, I reflected on the incredible memories we had made.

The Menorca Southern Beaches Tour was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. The combination of exploring remote coves, enjoying local cuisine, and the exceptional service from the crew made it a day to remember. I highly recommend this experience to families looking for a unique and enriching adventure in Menorca. It’s a journey that promises to delight both young and old, leaving you with cherished memories and a longing to return.
