Villa Ca Na Margarita

About Villa Ca Na Margarita

Villa Ca Na Margarita suits travellers who want a self-contained base on Menorca's west coast, close to Ciutadella but away from the busiest resort strips. The villa has one star and is classed as an apartment or villa, with a kitchen and an outdoor pool. It works for couples or small families who prefer to cook their own meals and drive to beaches and sights.

This is a straightforward, no-frills stay. The listed facilities include air conditioning, free wifi, a washing machine and a safe. The pool bar is on site. There is no on-site restaurant or daily cleaning service, so guests manage their own schedule. The property is not beachfront, but the coast is within reach by car.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

The villa is on Carrer Naveta in Cala Blanca, a residential area on the south-west coast of Menorca. Cala Blanca has a small cove and a few basic services. Ciutadella, the old capital, is 3.4 km away in a straight line, about a 10-minute drive. The area is quiet outside July and August, with little passing traffic.

A car is needed for most trips. The nearest beach within easy walking distance is not specified, but Cala Turqueta is 7.7 km away and Cala Galdana is 11.1 km. In high summer, the roads to the southern coves get busy and car parks fill early. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the area is much calmer.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with air conditioning, a kitchen with a microwave and coffee facilities, and a washing machine. Free wifi and a safe are provided. The property has non-smoking rooms and a smoke detector. There is free car parking on site. Guests should confirm the exact layout and number of bedrooms with the property before booking.

For families, the kitchen and washing machine are practical for longer stays. The outdoor pool is shared or private depending on the villa's configuration, so check with Villa Ca Na Margarita. Late arrivals should arrange check-in times directly, as there is no 24-hour reception. The pool bar may operate seasonally.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 34.8 km away in a straight line, about a 40-minute drive by hire car or taxi. Hire cars can be collected at the airport. Buses run to Maó and, in summer, to the resorts, but reaching Cala Blanca by public transport requires a change in Ciutadella. A car is the most practical option.

Maó port, for ferries from Barcelona and Palma, is 37.7 km away. Ciutadella port is 3.4 km away and has ferries to Alcúdia on Mallorca. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus lines stop running. Check the island bus operator for current summer services to the south coast.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Ciutadella old town is 3.4 km away. Its narrow streets, cathedral and port are worth an evening visit. The Naveta des Tudons, a prehistoric boat-shaped tomb, is 5.6 km away. Cala Turqueta, a white-sand cove on the south coast, is 7.7 km away. Arrive early in summer or take the bus to avoid parking problems.

Menorca's south coast has many limestone coves with clear water. Cala Galdana is 11.1 km away. The Camí de Cavalls, a 185-km coastal path, passes near these coves. Mahón-Menorca cheese and caldereta de llagosta (lobster stew) are local specialities. Fornells, on the north coast, is known for the stew but is about 30 km away.

A day from Villa Ca Na Margarita

Start the morning at Villa Ca Na Margarita with breakfast in the kitchen. Drive 7.7 km to Cala Turqueta for a swim before the crowds arrive. Walk part of the Camí de Cavalls along the cliff. Pack a picnic or return to the villa for lunch by the pool.

In the afternoon, drive 5.6 km to the Naveta des Tudons to see the prehistoric tomb. Continue to Ciutadella, 3.4 km away, and walk through the old town to the port for a late drink. Return to the villa for an evening meal cooked in the kitchen. In summer, the sun sets over the port in Ciutadella.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check Villa Ca Na Margarita's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with busy beaches and higher demand. A sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary by season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears site for current rates.
