Villas in Punta Prima and s’Algar

Punta Prima is a relatively small and tranquil resort with the most lovely white sand beach and turquoise waters. It has good snorkelling, rock pooling and swimming and there is a beachside bar/restaurant.

Just across from the beach are a further half-dozen restaurants offering international and Mediterranean menus, a couple of supermarkets selling fresh bread and produce, an ATM, pharmacy, doctor’s surgery, hairdresser, and a bike hire shop. Twice a week there’s a street market with craft stalls. Everything you need is available but it’s a relaxed resort and not over-commercial.

The view from Punta Prima beach, out over the Illa d l’Aire and its lighthouse, is one of the most beautiful in Menorca and there is plenty of scope for walking – the coastal Cami de Cavalls footpath runs through Punta Prima and you can stroll along the sea to the neighbouring resorts of Alcaufar and Binibeca; there is also a regular road train which runs between Punta Prima and Binibeca.

There is a good bus service from Punta Prima into the nearest town, Sant Lluis, and also to Menorca’s capital, Mahon. The airport is 20 minutes away by car

s’Algar is the only resort in Menorca’s ‘golden’ south-east corner which lacks a sandy beach, but it does offer plenty of leisure activity, such as the new Purobeach Club by the seafront, with its fabulous pool and sun terrace, shop, refreshments and entertainment, as well as wellness treatments. There are several options for food and drink in the resort, the most well known of which is the long-established Reina Isabel restaurant in the square, nearby the small supermarket. Scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts are well catered for here also. The small resort of Cala Alcaufar with its small beach and lovely beachside hotel/restaurant is easily walkable from s’Algar
