Llucalari Cove
A place that will captivate you
Llucalari is a small rocky cove nestled between two very high cliffs where high sports are practiced. Close to Son Bou, this cove offers nature in its purest state and all the solitude that is impossible to find in its neighbor.
Little frequented by tourists, the ravines, the sound of birds flying through the region and its colors (the intense green of its vegetation, the deep blue of its waters and the gold of its sand), envelop you and trap you.
Those who visit Llucalari and its privileged environment, never want to leave it again.

Cala de Llucalari in Menorca, how to get there?
The easiest way to reach Son Bou is by road. If we start from Mahón, we will have to take the Me-1 towards Ciutadella and follow it until we can join Carrer Carretera Nova.
From there, we will have to follow all the signs to Carretera de Son Bou, which will take us to the beach of the same name and, once there, we will continue on foot along the Camí de Cavalls. From this beach we will have to walk a total of 1200 meters, through a steep terrain before we can enjoy the waters of Llucalari.

What can we do in Cala de Llucalari?
Sand is scarce and boulders are abundant on this beach, so it is not the most suitable place to lie in the sun. It is also true that even the access to its waters is somewhat uncomfortable due to all the stones we find along the way. Of course, once we reach the shore, and we have the opportunity to go into the sea, it becomes as blue as it can be and the clarity of its clear waters makes swimming in it becomes a magical experience.
If we are in Llucalari, it is interesting to consider doing some section of the Camí de Cavalls. For example, the route that ascends to Ses Penyes offers spectacular views. In addition, if we want to walk a little further we should consider visiting the military batteries of Llucalari, where two of the five largest cannons of the Minorcan coast are located.
After years of abandonment, these batteries became home to squatters for a time, who took up residence there and turned the area into a village where the bunkers were inhabited, houses were rehabilitated, and even vegetable gardens and chicken coops were created. Several families came to occupy the site until they were evicted in 2011.
A little history never hurts, and the visit will not leave you indifferent.
How to get to Cala de Llucalari by boat?
To access Cala de Llucalari by boat, we must leave the port of Mahón heading SE. We will sail along the coast, leaving Illa del Rei to port.
We will continue out to the open sea, leaving the Punta de Sant Carles lighthouse to starboard.
Following the coastline in a southerly direction we will pass the outcrops of Na Girada and Punta Rafalet. We will continue skirting the island, which will take us in a SW direction and leave Punta Prima and Punta dels Marbres to starboard. At this point we will have the Illa de l’Aire on our port side.
Following the coastline, we will head NW and ascend passing Cabo Binibeca and Cap d’en Font. Past the Cala de Sant Llorenç, we will see the Cap de ses Penyes, and just in front of it (on its E side) a small inlet where the Cala de Llucalari is located.
