For those who enjoy a more active holiday, S'Algar offers a wealth of activities, from watersports and fishing to gaining an offshore powerboat licence..
The watersports centre at S'Algar Diving offers snorkelling tuition, trips out in their fast rib boats and parascending. They specialise in scuba diving and offer a full service, from "try a dive" to full open water courses. The coast around S'Algar is renowned for its diving, and some of the caves actually reach back under the cliff beneath the villas! Scuba equipment is available for hire to qualified people. The diving centre can also offer powerboat tuition.
There is good fishing from the rocks and cliffs and great fun can be had at the waterfront using light float tackle and sliced bread!
The sports club near the San Luis Hotel offers tennis, bowls, football and much more. There is also a bar on site.
The countryside around S'Algar is ideal for people who enjoy walking and exploring, a favourite of ours being the walk down the densely wooded path through the gorge to the tiny beach at Cala Rafalet - take your snorkelling gear! The nature reserve at S'Albufera near Es Grau is well worth a visit and is very popular with birdwatchers.
We would advise you to rent a car, even if only for a couple of days. This means that you can explore the island, spend time on some of Menorca's beautiful beaches and try the profusion of restaurants that the island has to offer. There is a regular bus service from S'Algar to the capital Mahon, where market days are Tuesday and Saturday. Mahon has great shops and bars. The harbour is the largest in the Mediterranean and is an enjoyable evening stroll; there are bars and restaurants all along the harbour front and the largest cruisers and yachts are berthed there.
