Alcaufar in Menorca

All Inclusive Alcaufar Holidays – Sleepy cove, whitewashed steps – Discovering Cala Alcaufar

Positioned in Menorca’s south-east coast, Alcaufar, a small bay with a large spread of bleached sand backed by trees and beside a small fisherman’s harbour is just idyllic. The village itself looks just like it would have in bygone days. The standard model of wristband All Inclusive holidays doesn’t exist in Cala Alcaufar. It is more a B&B, Half Board and self-catering destination. But that doesn’t mean you cannot have an all-inclusive style of holiday here, where you will be feeling of the luxury resorts that are common in other areas. See how we do this:

Sea, cove life & Cami de Cavalls views

The beach is sheltered with trees with entrance via the Carrer Ample Road. A long but small beach with pillow soft sand. The road also serves as the entrance to Cala Alcaufar section, stage 19 of the Cami de Cavalls, a hiking trail for visitors to sightsee around the entire coastline of Menorca.
