The resort sits on a plateau overlooking a stunning bay in a protected nature area offering fabulous views of attractive undulating countryside, white sands and especially the bays' turquoise waters. As the light fades the frogs in the nature reserve begin their soothing nightly chorus.

What distinguishes Cala en la disco Porter is its location.

The resort caters for a mix of packaged and independent holidaymakers. In the centre there is a fun park for younger children with lots of inflatables to let the children lose the last of the energies before bed!

Certainly while many of the bars and restaurants cater for uk tourist tastes, there are some more authentic places to visit. Can Bernat Restaurant just outside on the resort offers great food (open fire grilled meats being a speciality ) along with an attractive terrace looking out onto the local countryside. La Vela ( good midday Tapas, and pleasant outside terrace ), La Paletta and Il Pulpo Restaurants are also recommended.

Cala en la disco Porter Beach Rated as one of, if not the best resort beach on Menorca, especially for smaller children due it's perfect sands, gently sloping shallows, falling into crystal clear turquoise waters.
