Llucalari, in Menorca

Activities near cala llucalari.

Cala Llucalari, totally lost in Menorca

Cala Llucalari is a secret beach in Menorca. Only a tiny bit of people know about it, making it a lonely place even in summer.

It is very close to Son Bou, towards the east, along the Camí de Cavalls. Specifically between the Ses Penyes cape and the Sa Calç cave. A natural and protected area.

How to get to Llucalari

To get there, you will have to do a bit of trekking along a path from the beginning of the Son Bou beach. First, you will have to follow the way of skirting the majestic cliffs in the area. The track, known as Camí de Cavalls, goes around Menorca, and in this case, you will have to pass through Mahón beaches.

A good option is to get to Llucalari by bike, and much better if it is a mountain bike. The path to the cove is incredible for fans of adrenaline and cycling.

Has no sand

South winds affect Llucalari beach. On the shore, you will appreciate round stones known as macs instead of sand. They are usually white or greyish.

It usually has a lot of algae.

Algae tend to be present most days; perhaps that is why the cove is not popular with visitors. However, being natural does not take away from the fact that you are in one of the island's loneliest and most unspoilt coves.

Tips for visiting Llucalari

Bring enough water and food.

Do not expect a cove with services; you should bring water and food if you go to this beach to spend the day. However, if you have forgotten and you are already there, the Son Bou urbanization has a supermarket and several good restaurants where to eat.

Not much coverage

Bear in mind that once you descend the ravine and have flanked its high cliffs, you may be uncommunicated. Tell a friend or somebody that you have been to this cove in case you have an incident.

Don't forget some diving goggles!

If you go with the idea of diving, this cove is so unspoiled that the fish are not used to human presence. In addition, goggles and fins are essential to enjoy the sea.

As you move away from the shore, you will see marine life appear everywhere. Cala Llucalari is a very rocky area with expansive meadows of Oceanic Posidonia.

Crowded area

Very clear waters and cliffs.

Once past the cliffs of Canutells and Llucalari, we arrive at the longest beach in Menorca . Son Bou.

With 2.4 kilometers long and 120m wide, it has an urbanization, hotels and restaurants and at the end of it a wild and totally virgin area called Atalis.

Son Bou has European quality certifications and therefore the Blue Flag .

The bottom is white sand making the water turquoise, small rocky areas and meadows of posidonia oceanica.

We normally anchor with our llaut very close to the cliffs of Llucalari, making them protect us from the waves. From there, you can reach the shore of the beach swimming or directly with the south paddle without problem.

For the more adventurous, once you reach the shore and have passed the Roman basilica, you can walk and reach the cliff of Llucalari where from there you can appreciate the immensity of the beach.

Another smaller and much more exclusive beach is Cala de Llucalari. This small cove is anchored between cliffs and offers very interesting areas for diving and exploring underwater caves.

From Llaut Menorca, we offer this boat excursion daily, departing from the port of Mahón and lasting 2 hours without stopping at other places.

Camí de Cavalls: from Son Bou to Cala en Porter

We have a few stages left of the Camí de Cavalls to complete a full circuit of the route that circles the island of Menorca and today we will walk from Son Bou to Cala en Porter, a stretch that is characterized by wetlands and ravines that are found at both ends – west and east.

The route starts where we left it, near the Early Christian Basilica of Son Bou . For those who missed it in the previous stage, you will have the opportunity to visit this before starting the walk. The path starts with a climb  but leads to an impressive panoramic viewpoint to contemplate Son Bou from a watchtower. Then, the path follows a pronounced descent to sea-level, specifically to Cala Llucalari , a pebbly cove rarely visited.

The Camí de Cavalls continues with a 2 kilometers climb, which will lead us to an area of typically Menorcan landsacape: a mosaic of farmland alternating with areas of wild olive trees. By the way, for those who enjoy archaeology as well as walking, the excursion passes very close to Torre d’en Galmés , the largest Talayotic settlement on the island. It is located further north of the road that crosses the path and without a doubt, it is worth a visit.

After 4.5 kilometers, we begin to descend towards the Cala en Porter ravine, whose walls protect bird nests and rock-dwelling plants, as well as offering protection to the fruit orchards that predominate in the landscape. For a long time, the Menorcans have taken agricultural produce from these fields and their zero kilometer products can be found in markets and restaurants all over the island.

Almost at the end of the ravine and entering the beach of Cala en Porter, the water of the torrent creates a wetland . The beach of Cala en Porter is another of the wonderful corners of Menorca with white sand, hidden between cliffs and frequently visited during the high season. If the weather suits, it is worth a dip as a final reward for our excursion.

Playas del Sur de Menorca

Cala llucalari es una cala virgen del sur de menorca y vecina de son bou , y muy poco frecuentada aunque de muy bonito paisaje.

Como hemos mencionado anteriormente, esta cala es virgen, y además, es muy poco frecuentada, por ello entonces supone un paraje muy tranquilo y exclusivo, apto para venir con familia, amigos o en pareja. Esta situada al sur-este de Son Bou y es con un talud de grava y arena, pero a medida que nos vamos adentrando en el agua vemos zonas de arena y algas.

Es una cala muy poco frecuentada, debido a la relativa dificultad que supone llegar a ella y el poco interés turístico que tiene, pero sin embargo, tiene un interés paisajístico increible. El barranco que encontramos, que es la causa de la formación de la cala, forma una verdadera entalla contra el peñascal de Llucalari , dando lugar a un paisaje muy bonito entre dos formaciones rocosas.

Se encuentra protegida por los vientos de este y oeste por las formaciones rocosas que se forman a sus costados, pero aun así queda totalmente desprotegida de los vientos del sur ( migjorn ), debido a esto, es normal encontrar algas en la cala.

Al ser una cala virgen, no tiene ningún tipo de servicio concreto para dicha cala, aunque esté cerca del núcleo urbano de Son Bou . Se desaconseja el fondeo de embarcaciones en dicha cala, ya que no es posible atracar en la zona costera de la cala y las condiciones subacuáticas no son favorables para ello. No obstante, podemos llegar a través del mar con pequeñas embarcaciones deportivas como el kayak, las cuales podemos alquilar en la zona de Son Bou si disponen de ese servicio en la playa.

Mapa de situación

Como llegar a cala llucalari.

Para llegar a esta recóndita cala, el mejor camino que podemos tomar es desde la urbanización de Son Bou . Se trata de tomar el legendario “Camí de Cavalls”, que curiosamente pasa por la urbanización y llega hasta cala Llucalari . Cerca de los apartamentos de Royal Son Bou Family Club, nos situamos cerca de la salida de la urbanización y por esta zona verde veremos indicaciones de Camí de Cavalls y señalizaciones de Cala Llucalari a 1,1 Km.

Reconoceremos el camino porque la entrada es una pared seca con una barrera de madera característica de Menorca y una entrada sin barrera. Basta con seguir ese camino y las indicaciones que podríamos encontrar en el para llegar rápidamente a la cala, aproximadamente hay unos 20 minutos de camino.

No hay un transporte habilitado para Cala Llucalari , pero si que podemos llegar en autobús a la urbanización de Son Bou durante los meses de verano.

Llucalari Cove

A place that will captivate you.

Llucalari is a small rocky cove nestled between two very high cliffs where high sports are practiced. Close to Son Bou, this cove offers nature in its purest state and all the solitude that is impossible to find in its neighbor.

Little frequented by tourists, the ravines, the sound of birds flying through the region and its colors (the intense green of its vegetation, the deep blue of its waters and the gold of its sand), envelop you and trap you.

Those who visit Llucalari and its privileged environment, never want to leave it again.

Services near Llucalari Cove

NO NEARBY SERVICES*.

*We consider them “close” if they are within a radius of 250-300 m approx.

What can we do in Cala de Llucalari?

Sand is scarce and boulders are abundant on this beach, so it is not the most suitable place to lie in the sun. It is also true that even the access to its waters is somewhat uncomfortable due to all the stones we find along the way. Of course, once we reach the shore, and we have the opportunity to go into the sea, it becomes as blue as it can be and the clarity of its clear waters makes swimming in it becomes a magical experience.

If we are in Llucalari, it is interesting to consider doing some section of the Camí de Cavalls . For example, the route that ascends to Ses Penyes offers spectacular views. In addition, if we want to walk a little further we should consider visiting the military batteries of Llucalari, where two of the five largest cannons of the Minorcan coast are located.

After years of abandonment, these batteries became home to squatters for a time, who took up residence there and turned the area into a village where the bunkers were inhabited, houses were rehabilitated, and even vegetable gardens and chicken coops were created. Several families came to occupy the site until they were evicted in 2011.

A little history never hurts, and the visit will not leave you indifferent.

How to get to Cala de Llucalari by boat?

To access Cala de Llucalari by boat, we must leave the port of Mahón heading SE. We will sail along the coast, leaving Illa del Rei to port.

We will continue out to the open sea, leaving the Punta de Sant Carles lighthouse to starboard.

Following the coastline in a southerly direction we will pass the outcrops of Na Girada and Punta Rafalet. We will continue skirting the island, which will take us in a SW direction and leave Punta Prima and Punta dels Marbres to starboard. At this point we will have the Illa de l’Aire on our port side.

Following the coastline, we will head NW and ascend passing Cabo Binibeca and Cap d’en Font. Past the Cala de Sant Llorenç, we will see the Cap de ses Penyes, and just in front of it (on its E side) a small inlet where the Cala de Llucalari is located.

Do you want to go to Cala de Llucalari by boat?

Cala Llucalari

Cala Llucalcari is situated at eight kilometres from Alaior ('the menorquin Montpellier'), located between Cap de ses Penyes and Cova de sa Calc. This beach is the result of the confluence of a sea inlet and the mouth of a torrent between canyons. This coastal corner is characterized by having a small size (50 metres long and 30 metres large), and a gravel and sand surface, a rare vegetation on the right side (bushes) and a thicker vegetation typical for wetland at the rear, as well as by being located between cliffs, the rocks on the left side are quite high, abrupt and steep. The southern area of Menorca is cut by about forty canyons, some of them irrigated by torrents, with a contrasting landscape, as well as a rich flora and fauna. The summits are dry because of their sunny exposition, whereas the sides are dark and wet because they are more protected. The marine and underwater conditions for anchoring boats are not good because this coastal corner is not very safe. The accessibility by car is easy until the nearby beaches Platges de Son Bou. The private car can be left on a free parking area in the surroundings. You can also reach this beach with the public transport in the summer season. From Son Bou you can reach Cala Llucalcari on foot after a short one kilometre walk. These characteristics explain that the beach is not very crowded by local visitors and tourists. When the beach has a lifeguard service, you must follow the lifeguards' instructions and the warnings on flags. A red flag indicates dangerous swimming conditions and means that swimming is not permitted. A yellow flag indicates that precaution must be taken, but that swimming is permitted. A green flag indicates that swimming is permitted. An orange flag is used to indicate that the lifeguard is absent. Act cautiously when no lifeguard is present or the service is not available and enjoy the beach without taking any unnecessary risks. For health and safety reasons, the municipal ordinances ban pets on beaches. Information about this beach may change.

Son Bou – Cala en Porter walking by the Camí de Cavalls

This stage of the Camí de Cavalls begins at the far eastern end of the beach of Son Bou . Following the signs, you quickly leave the road and pick up a small path that climbs steeply and takes you to Cala Llucalari .

In between, you walk through a typical Menorcan agricultural landscape, with fields and pastures alternating with large areas of wild olive bushes. The contrast between the gullies of Llucalari and Cala en Porter is  very obvious: the former is rugged and wild, whilst in the latter you will see how humans have taken advantage of the hillsides that provide shelter from the north Tramuntana wind to plant fruit trees. On this stage you will also have the chance to get to know two wetlands, Son Bou and the small marsh formed at the mouth of the stream that flows down the gully of Cala en Porter .

• Son Bou paleo-christian church : Remains of a rectangular church with three naves separated by pillars that is thought to have been built in the 5 th century.

NEARBY SITES OF INTEREST • Torre d’en Galmés: One of the largest prehistoric settlements in the Balearic Islands. To get there, turn off the road to Torrenova 1 km before you get to the entrance to this estate. • Son Bou wetland : Also known as L’Albufera de ses Canessies, this is one of Menorca’s main wetlands and a must for birdwatchers and nature-lovers in general. • Torralba d’en Salort: This pre-historic village houses one of the largest and best-preserved taules in Menorca. It lies 4.5 km south of Alaior on the road to Cala en Porter .

How to get there

Accommodation and logistics on Camí de Cavalls

If you want to go through the Camí de Cavalls in stages, either a part or all of it, you have to plan your trek well.

That is the reason why making the route outside the tourist season could be somewhat complicated.

It is important to adapt the route plan to your physical condition and your experience as a trekker. In many cases, the ideal choice is to hire a logistic service for you to resolve those shortcomings. This way, you will be able to get the most out of the experience.

Camí de Cavalls 360º is a specialised travel agency that helps you to make the route in stages, in a self-guided manner and with a series of related services (among others, accommodation and logistics).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
