Camí de Cavalls with Kids – A Family Adventure from Your Holiday Villa in Menorca
Camí de Cavalls, the ancient horse trail which encircles Menorca, is a must-see when visiting the island. The 20 stages of the track offer breath-taking scenery that can be enjoyed by all — including the kids! So, when you’re enjoying your family holiday, be sure to adventure out from your Menorca holiday villa and explore the Camí de Cavalls with kids. All four of these child-friendly walking routes are a fantastic way to experience Menorca’s natural beauty:
Punta Prima to Alcaufar: 2.7km, 30 minutes
Starting at Punta Prima, a popular tourist resort on the southeast coast of the island, the route follows the coastline to the 18th-century defence tower at Alcalfar. A little further leads to the small but pretty beach at Cala Alcaufar. This is the perfect stop for a dip before heading back after this scenic section of the Camí de Cavalls with kids.
Favaritx to Cala Tortuga: 1.7km, 25 minutes
This excursion begins just before one of Menorca´s six iconic lighthouses, Favaritx, and takes you into the S’Albufera d’Es Grau National Park. After 10 minutes on the trail, you’ll arrive at Cala Presili, a stunning white sand beach with turquoise waters. Continue for another 15 minutes to reach the beautiful Cala Tortuga. Be sure to pause for panoramic views and photos with the kids before descending to the beach. A perfect family adventure to enjoy during your Menorca villa holiday.
Calan Porter Ravine: 4.4km, 50 minutes
From the small wetlands at the back of Calan Porter beach, a break in the dry stone wall marks the start of this inland route, winding through more stone walls and fruit trees. Although the Camí de Cavalls continues on to Son Bou (8km), you can circle back to Calan Porter resort. For those staying in a local villa, this peaceful walk is a lovely way to start the day. Families enjoying their time on a Menorca villa holiday near Calan Porter can enjoy this route for a cooler morning adventure before the sun heats up.
Cala Galdana to Cala Macarelleta: 5km, 50 minutes
This route leads to those postcard-perfect beaches! Starting from Cala Galdana resort, follow an easy trail through pine forests and along the cliffside to idyllic Cala Macarella. Don’t stop there — just 5 minutes further is Cala Macarelleta, the smaller but equally beautiful sister beach. While slightly longer, this Camí de Cavalls with kids route is absolutely worth the effort and offers one of the most memorable days out for families during their Menorca villa holiday.
Whether you decide to try all four of these routes or just one, you’ll come away with incredible memories and a deeper connection to Menorca’s wild beauty.
