All Inclusive Cala'n Forcat Holidays

Cala’n Forcat may be small, but it packs a big, family-friendly punch. This pint-sized place on Menorca’s north-western coast has joined forces with neighbours Cala’n Blanes and Los Delfines to make one, got-it-all resort in the Balearic Islands. This means you get a fistful of coves, bars and restaurants, and a waterpark – all for the price of one. And it’s only 15 minutes’ drive to classy Ciutadella, where you can get your shopping done.

Even the restaurants wave the kid-friendly flag on Cala’n Forcat holidays. You’ll find bouncy castles out the back, plus pool tables for hard-to-please teens. The main strip – Avinguda Los Delfines – is loaded with pizzerias, Chinese buffets and souvenir shops. Follow it round to the bend and you’ll reach a waterpark. Or hop in the car for 20 minutes to Castillo – the cream of the crop of amusement parks. Your little ones can have a go on boats, go-karts, zip-lines or minigolf.

This part of Menorca is a stamping ground for teensy sandy beaches. The golden-sand one at Cala’n Forcat is fork-shaped, fenced in by rocky cliffs and pines. The shallow waters are perfect for kiddies, while the older ones are fans of scrambling over the rocks to find crabs and jumping-off points. Cala’n Blanes is the biggest of the lot, with a pirate ship play area and a tiki-style bar.
