The popular, busy family resort of Cala en Porter has something for everyone. A large resort by Menorcan standards and one of the oldest on the island, it
has a lovely setting on the eastern cliffs above a large sandy beach. It has an abundance of bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops, catering mostly for the British. A roadtrain carries visitors up and down from the resort to the beach. Cala en Porter is famous for the Coves d'en Xoroi - a complex of natural caves high up on the side of the cliff to the east of the beach. During the summer the caves are open daily
The popular family resort of Son Bou boasts the longest beach

shops, lots of entertainment, indeed everything a holidaymaker could
possibly want from a resort. Club San Jaime will keep children occupied with its water chute while adults can relax in the landscaped gardens with cool drink
