Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos

About Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos

Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos suits families and small groups who want self-catering space on Menorca's western side rather than a full-service hotel. The address sits in the Urb. Cala Blanca, outside the main resort strips, with Ciutadella 3.3 km away. Apartments with kitchens make a practical base for a week of coves, small towns and early starts, and free car parking helps if you plan to drive the coast.

This is a three-star apartamentos address rather than a hotel with formal service, so the rhythm of the stay is your own. The listed facilities point to straightforward self-catering: kitchen and kitchenette equipment, a pool, a garden and terraces. It is a good fit for guests who are happy to cook some meals, wash a few things and use the apartment as a quiet base between days out on Menorca.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Cala Blanca is a small coastal settlement on Menorca's south-west coast, a short run from Ciutadella (3.3 km straight line). The Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos sits in the Urb. Cala Blanca, away from the larger resort areas, so the immediate setting is residential and low-rise rather than a busy strip. Ciutadella supplies the nearest old town, cathedral, narrow port and evening life, and it is the obvious place for a wider choice of shops and restaurants.

Walking covers little beyond the immediate streets of Cala Blanca, so a car, taxi or the seasonal bus network does the rest. Ciutadella is 3.3 km away, the Naveta des Tudons 5.6 km and Cala Turqueta 7.7 km; Cala Galdana is 11.1 km and Es Mercadal, under Monte Toro, 22.1 km. In July and August the south coast coves fill early; in May, June, September and October the same drives are calmer.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments at Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee equipment, which covers breakfast and simple evening meals. Air conditioning, a TV, a safe and a sofa bed appear in the listing, and family rooms are available. Bathrooms come with a bath and toiletries. Terraces and a garden give families somewhere to sit outside the apartment itself, and the outdoor pool is the centre of the daytime.

For late arrivals, free car parking and wifi matter more than anything else, and both are listed, along with a smoke detector and first aid provision on site. Confirm with Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos before booking: whether the apartment you choose has a full kitchen or a kitchenette, how the sofa bed is counted in the occupancy, and what the reception hours are for a late check-in.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 34.9 km from Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos in a straight line, on the far side of the island from Cala Blanca. Hiring a car at the airport gives the most freedom for the western end, and free parking at the apartments means it has somewhere to sit. A taxi is the quicker option after a late landing; local buses serve Maó and, in summer, the resorts, so a connection is usually involved.

From Maó port, 37.7 km away in a straight line, the drive crosses the island to the Cala Blanca side. Ciutadella, the old capital and the nearest town, is 3.3 km from the apartments and brings the western port, the cathedral and the evening paseo within a short run. Flights and ferries thin out in winter, and some seasonal buses stop, so check the operators and the island bus company when planning a stay outside the main months.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Turqueta, one of the white sand coves of the Migjorn coast, is 7.7 km from Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos in a straight line, and Cala Galdana is 11.1 km. Both fill early in high summer, and car parks at the popular southern coves are limited. Ciutadella, 3.3 km away, has the old town at dusk, the cathedral and the narrow port; the Naveta des Tudons, a prehistoric tomb shaped like an upturned boat, lies 5.6 km away.

Menorca's kitchen is built on lobster stew from the north coast, cheese with a protected designation of origin, and a gin tradition left by the 18th-century British period. Ciutadella's shops and delicatessens are the nearest place to buy cheese, cured sausage and produce for an apartment supper, 3.3 km from the door of Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos, and the in-apartment kitchen makes that straightforward after a day on the coast.

A day from Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos

Start with an early drive to Cala Turqueta, 7.7 km from Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos, before the car park fills in summer. Walk the pine-backed sand for an hour or two, then return through Ciutadella, 3.3 km from the apartments, for coffee and a look at the cathedral and the palaces around the old town. Lunch back at the apartment keeps the afternoon flexible, and the pool covers the hottest part of the day.

Later, drive 5.6 km to the Naveta des Tudons, the prehistoric tomb near Ciutadella, and take a short walk around it. Ciutadella at dusk is the finish: 3.3 km back, the narrow port for the sunset and a slow circuit of the old town before returning. For a longer day, Cala Galdana is 11.1 km and Es Mercadal, below Monte Toro at about 358 m, is 22.1 km, which makes a loop of the centre and the south coast.

Practical tips

Tourism on Menorca thins roughly from November to April, so confirm the opening dates of Sagitario Vista Playa II Apartamentos before booking a winter or early-spring stay; high summer brings the fullest calendar and the busiest coves. The Balearic ecotasa, the sustainable tourism levy, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, at rates that vary with the type of accommodation and the season, with reductions in low season and for longer stays and an exemption for children under 16; check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
