Calan Porter
A large resort by Menorcan standards and one of the oldest on the island. Cala’n Porter is situated on the south coast, in a magnificent setting on the cliffs above a large deep beach. It is easily accessible by both car and bus, and offers everything a visitor could want from a holiday resort.
Calan Porter and Menorca is the perfect place to relax and chill out during day time, and at night you have the choice to carry on chilling out in the more quiet bars and pubs, or the choice to go out and dance the night away in their many bars, pubs and clubs that are open nearly all night.
September holds the resort "fiestas" with lots of different amenities, fun fair for kids, activities in all the bars and restaurants, activities down the beach, etc... an unforgettable 3 days.
This is a busy fun resort, with a wide choice of shops, bars and restaurants. Situated on the south coast of the island, it has a horseshoe shaped bay and large gently shelving sandy beach with cliffs on each side.
The resort has something to offer for everyone, whether it is a relaxed beach holiday or a lively holiday spent dancing the nights away in the many local bars, being the recently open in Summer 06 Flava´ Bar, the favourite of the holidaymakers. The famous “Xoroi” discotheque set in natural caves halfway down in the cliffside overlooks the sea and is definately the liveliest discotheque in Menorca, also rated amongst the top 5 most spectacular clubs in the world.
Cala'n Porter can be described as being lively, with plenty of modern bars and restaurants, and also has the largest and most beautiful and original night club on the island, built in to a natural cave, Cova den Xoroi. Set high in the rocks, it's a cave bar with fantastic sea views by day, that you can visit and enjoy a quiet drink and a beautiful and amazing sunset, and spectacular sea views.
