Ferreries sits in the centre of Menorca and gives easy access to the island's south coast, including the lovely bay of Cala Galdana. UK families and couples pick this part of Menorca for soft sand, clear sheltered water and a calm, family-friendly feel.

It is the kind of base where days revolve around the beach and a relaxed lunch, with the gentler pace that makes Menorca such a favourite.

Where to stay in Ferreries

Two options stand out for this destination, both in the Cala Galdana area. The four-star Floramar Aparthotel is within walking distance of the beach, handy for families who want to come and go easily. The four-star Minura Cala Galdana and Apartments sits in the Cala Galdana bay area, another comfortable base close to the sand and the sea.

Getting there and when to go

Menorca is a reliable summer flight from the UK, with the south coast a short transfer from the airport. Summer is hot and sunny and busiest, while May, June and September stay warm but quieter, which suits couples and anyone travelling outside the school holidays.

Beaches and resorts

Cala Galdana is one of Menorca's most photographed bays, a horseshoe of soft sand backed by cliffs and pines with calm, clear shallow water. It is ideal for families and easy swimming, and the sheltered setting keeps conditions gentle, which is reassuring for younger children.

Food and things to do

Expect straightforward Spanish and Menorcan cooking, with fresh fish, rice dishes and simple tapas. Beyond the beach, the calm bay suits gentle watersports and boat trips, and the wider island rewards a bit of exploring along its quiet coves and coastal paths.

Who it suits

Ferreries and the Cala Galdana area suit families with young children and couples who want calm over nightlife. If you want a big party scene this is not the place, but for sand, sun and a gentle pace it is hard to beat.
