Cala en Turqueta

One of Menorca's most celebrated coves, Cala en Turqueta sits about 10 km from Ciutadella and takes its name from the Turkish pirates who once knew these waters well. You'll drop anchor off strikingly clear turquoise water flanked by towering pine-covered limestone cliffs that make it feel genuinely remote and unspoiled. The fine white sand and wild, dramatic setting make it hard to leave — get here early in summer, as word has well and truly spread.
