Club Andria

About Club Andria

Club Andria suits travellers who want Ciutadella and the west coast within easy reach without staying in the middle of a resort. The hotel is a three-star property in Cala Santandria, outside the main resort areas and near the small village of Cala Blanca. Couples who prefer a quiet base, and families who need a kids pool and a babysitting service, both fit here. A car makes the most of the position.

Three stars, a garden and a list of facilities that covers most of what a holiday needs. Club Andria has a swimming pool and a separate kids pool, an indoor pool, a spa and a gym for the hours when the sun is too strong. Bars and a restaurant are listed, plus a lounge and a terrace. Air conditioning, wifi and parking make the practical side easy.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Club Andria sits at Carrer Rossinyol 15 in Cala Santandria, on Menorca's west coast, with Cala Blanca as the nearest village. This is the quiet end of the island's holiday map, away from the big resort strips, and Ciutadella, the old capital, is 2.9 km away in a straight line. The rock along this stretch is limestone, with white sand coves under pine, typical of the island's south coast.

Walking covers the streets around the hotel and the lane to Cala Blanca; for anything further, plan on a car, a taxi or a local bus. Ciutadella is 2.9 km away, Cala Galdana 11 km, Es Mercadal and Monte Toro 21.7 km. High summer fills the road into Ciutadella and the car parks at the southern coves; May, June, September and October bring lighter traffic and easier mornings.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Club Andria are listed with air conditioning, a safe, a television and a telephone, and wifi is among the facilities. Couples have the terrace, the lounge and the spa for slower hours; families get a kids pool beside the main swimming pool and a babysitting service that needs arranging before arrival. Anyone reaching Cala Santandria late should confirm reception hours with the hotel in advance.

Club Andria lists a restaurant and bars, a garden, a gym, an indoor pool and a spa, and pets are allowed. Confirm with the property which of these run on your dates, whether the spa and gym need booking, how the babysitting service is arranged and what the pet policy covers. Parking, currency exchange and facilities for disabled guests are listed too, and cards are accepted.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 34.7 km from Club Andria in a straight line, on the far side of the island near Maó. By taxi or hire car the route runs west towards Ciutadella and then down to Cala Santandria, and the road distance is longer than that figure. Buses from the airport go to Maó first; check the island bus operator for summer connections towards Ciutadella.

Ferries reach Maó port, 37.5 km from Club Andria, and Ciutadella, which is 2.9 km away. Sailing times change through the year and winter crossings are fewer, so check with the operators before fixing dates. From Ciutadella the transfer to Cala Santandria is short, and local buses and taxis link the town with Cala Blanca and the hotel's area; ask Club Andria about current lines and stops.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Ciutadella old town is 2.9 km away, and its cathedral, palaces and narrow port make the obvious evening trip; the town is at its best at dusk. The boat-shaped tomb at the Naveta des Tudons is 5.2 km from Club Andria, one of the Talayotic Menorca monuments on the World Heritage list since 2023. Cala Turqueta, 7.7 km away, is a pine-backed south-coast cove where morning is the quiet time.

Menorca's cooking is part of the reason to base here: caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew associated with Fornells, and Mahón-Menorca cheese, a protected designation of origin product, turn up widely on menus. Gin, a legacy of 18th-century British rule, is poured in Maó and beyond. Cala Galdana, 11 km from Club Andria, is a south-coast cove with a beach and places to eat, while Ciutadella covers bakeries and late dinners.

A day from Club Andria

Begin with an early swim: Cala Turqueta is 7.7 km from Club Andria and its car park fills quickly, so leave at first light and walk down before the heat. On the way back, stop at the Naveta des Tudons, 5.2 km from the hotel, while the site is still quiet. The pool, the indoor pool and the spa cover the middle of the day, and lunch is a listed option on site.

Late afternoon belongs to Ciutadella, 2.9 km away: the cathedral, the palaces and the walk down to the narrow port take a couple of hours, and dusk is the best time to see the old town. Return to Cala Santandria for dinner. For a longer outing, Cala Galdana is 11 km and Monte Toro, above Es Mercadal, is 21.7 km, about 358 m up with both coasts in view.

Practical tips

Confirm the season with Club Andria before booking: many Menorca hotels, beach bars and boat trips shut roughly from November to April, and Cala Blanca and Cala Santandria go very quiet. Peak demand falls in late July and August, when the Ciutadella road and the southern coves are busy; late May, June, September and October are calmer. The ecotasa, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, is charged per person per night at the hotel, varies with season and category, is reduced for longer stays and exempts under-16s; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
