Included excursions
The Flatlands of the East
1 / 5
This fairly easy-going seven-kilometre walk is all about experiencing the eastern extremities of Minorca. The coastal section of the trail from Punta Prima passes saltpans and the sturdy looking fortifications of the Alcafar Tower. Cutting inland, you’ll then walk through gorges and gullies and under the shade of evergreen holm oaks. Gorges, such as Cala de Sant Esteve and Binnissaida, are well known for being sheltered from the elements and as such the trees have grown to be far taller than other areas of the island. Upon reaching Punta de s'Esperó, you’ll find yourself on the most easterly edge of not just Minorca, but the whole of Spain.
National Park Route
1 / 5
Sticking to Minorca’s southeast coast today, the majority of this 10-kilometre walk takes place within the protected perimeters of Parc Natural de s'Albufera des Grau. This wetland conservation area is a haven for the island’s wildlife thanks to its rich natural biodiversity. Starting out from the Albufera des Grau coastal lagoon, you’ll walk through swathes of flowering salt cedars and patches of salt worts. This type of vegetation thrives amongst the windswept sand dunes and marshlands and provides the best place to spot birds, such as shags and ospreys, making the most of the Menorcan coast. As they trail continues inland, the landscape changes to farmland and scrubland where wild olive groves create shade for goats and sheep. The trail ends once you reach the rugged Cap de Favàritx peninsula where the lighthouse provides a perfect place to enjoy the far-reaching ocean views.
Son Saura – Cala Galdana
1 / 5
Pass through rugged cliffs, lush pine forests, and secluded beaches like Playa de Son Saura on this moderate 9km walk. Along the way, you may spot unique wildlife, including the endemic Balearic lizard, and discover hidden coves such as Cala Mitjana.
Punta Nati – Ciutadella
1 / 5
On this moderately paced 10 km walk, you'll encounter a blend of scenic landscapes, including sandy coves, ancient stone walls, and the iconic lighthouse at Punta Nati. The route also winds through fragrant Mediterranean vegetation, leading to the historic charm of Ciutadella.
Cap d’Artruix – Ciutadella
1 / 5
This 12km walk along Menorca's scenic coastline features stunning beaches, rocky cliffs, and striking views of the Mediterranean Sea. The trail is well-marked and showcases the region’s rich history, including ancient ruins and traditional stone walls.
Location
)
The resort of S’Algar stands on a rocky headland known for its coves, capes and islets. It’s a pretty, peaceful place with a scattering of bars and restaurants, all easily reached from the hotel along the long, level promenade. Walkers love heading off on the Cami de Cavalls walking trail - a famous bridlepath that encircles the whole island which is easily reached from the hotel.
We are delighted to welcome back the Hotel Alua Illa de Menorca, previously known as the Hotel San Luis. S'Algar has long been a favourite of Saga guests with its extensive leisure options including tennis courts, bowling greens and great walking on the nearby Cami de Cavalls, the bridle path that encircles the island. The new owners, AM Resorts, have refurbished and further improved the hotel interiors.
