Menorca Ca Savia

About Menorca Ca Savia

Menorca Ca Savia suits travellers who want Ciutadella within easy reach without sleeping in the middle of the old capital. The hotel is set at Magrañas, outside town, and the cathedral, the palaces and the narrow port are 1.7 km away in a straight line. Couples touring the island by car and families who want a pool after a morning at the southern coves both fit here, and the address stays quiet after dark.

The stay is simple and functional: a three-star hotel with a short list of facilities rather than a resort package. It works as a base for a touring holiday on Menorca, with the pool for the hot hours and wifi for planning the next day's drive. Couples and small families fit, and the position in the west puts the southern coves and the prehistoric sites within easy reach of the car.

Location: Ciutadella

Ciutadella is the old capital of Menorca, with a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port that runs west towards the sunset. Evenings are the best time to wander, when the stone holds the heat and the streets fill. The Sant Joan festival around 23 and 24 June brings horses and riders through the centre. Menorca Ca Savia is 1.7 km from all of this in a straight line, close enough for an evening out and far enough to be away from the crowds.

Ciutadella is the nearest centre, 1.7 km away, and the Naveta des Tudons is 4.9 km from Menorca Ca Savia. Beyond that the distances grow: Cala Turqueta is 10.9 km, Cala Galdana 13.4 km, and Es Mercadal with Monte Toro 21.8 km. A car makes the western and southern coasts straightforward, while buses and taxis cover Ciutadella itself and, in season, some coves. July and August fill the southern car parks early; May, June, September and October allow the same drives at a calmer pace.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities listed for Menorca Ca Savia are a swimming pool, a television and wifi. Read that as a straightforward base rather than a full-service hotel: the pool handles the hot afternoons, the television suits a slow evening, and wifi covers the practical side of a touring day. Couples get quiet and space, families get a pool without a resort programme, and anyone arriving late should confirm the key arrangement with the hotel before travelling.

What to confirm with Menorca Ca Savia before booking: the room types and whether any take a third bed, whether the pool is outdoors and when it is open, and whether parking is available on site. Breakfast and the latest arrival time are also worth asking about directly. The hotel is three-star, so set expectations to match and put the questions that matter in writing with dates. Check the Magrañas address before setting off, since it is outside the town grid.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 36.5 km from Menorca Ca Savia in a straight line, and the airport itself sits about 4-5 km south-west of Maó. The transfer crosses the island from east to west, so treat it as a proper drive rather than a short hop. Taxis wait at the terminal and hire cars are available there; buses run to Maó, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for connections towards Ciutadella.

From Maó port the distance to Menorca Ca Savia is 38.8 km in a straight line. Ferries from Maó run to Barcelona overnight, and Ciutadella, 1.7 km from the hotel, handles crossings to Alcúdia on Mallorca and to Barcelona. The final leg from either port is by taxi or hire car. Flights and ferries are fewer in winter, so check operators when booking and ask the hotel about the best arrival window for the dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Turqueta is 10.9 km from Menorca Ca Savia, a south-coast cove of white sand under pine, and Cala Galdana is 13.4 km. Both are popular in high summer, when car parks at the southern coves fill early and some places apply limits. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is far closer at 4.9 km and makes a short outing. Ciutadella old town at dusk, 1.7 km away, covers the evening.

Menorca's food is part of the reason to base in the west. Caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew, belongs to Fornells on the north coast, cheese from the island, Mahón-Menorca, has a protected designation of origin, and the 18th-century British period left Maó a gin tradition. Meals around Menorca Ca Savia happen in Ciutadella, 1.7 km away, where picnic supplies for the coves are easy to pick up.

A day from Menorca Ca Savia

Start with the Naveta des Tudons, 4.9 km from Menorca Ca Savia, before the day heats up; the prehistoric tomb is a short stop on the road towards the south coast. Then drive to Cala Turqueta, 10.9 km away, and arrive early, since the cove and its parking fill in summer. Cala Galdana, 13.4 km from the hotel, is an alternative with more space. A hire car makes the loop simple, and seasonal buses reach some coves.

Return to Menorca Ca Savia for the pool in the afternoon, then head into Ciutadella, 1.7 km away, as the light softens. The old town at dusk means the cathedral, the palaces and the narrow port, with the Sant Joan festival filling the streets around 23 and 24 June. Eat in town before driving back. For a longer outing, Es Mercadal and Monte Toro are 21.8 km away, with a sanctuary at about 358 m and views of both coasts.

Practical tips

Menorca's season shapes any stay here. Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm the opening dates of Menorca Ca Savia before booking, and expect July and August to be the fullest months in Ciutadella and at the southern coves. Charged per person per night by the accommodation, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) varies with the season and the category of the property, is lower in low season and for longer stays, and exempts children under 16. Menorca Ca Savia adds it to the bill; check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
