Resort Description
Laying claim to the most beautiful beach in Menorca, Cala Galdana villa holidays offer a relaxing vibe and gorgeous scenery - just perfect for that well-deserved break. The horseshoe-shaped bay boasts soft white sand, shallow, turquoise waters and a dramatic limestone cliff backdrop, giving it an almost Caribbean feel. Water-sports aplenty are on offer in Cala Galdana, and a small wooden bridge over the ravine makes for a picturesque setting and provides the opportunity to walk along the headland and through the pine forests. There’s so much to do on a villa holiday in Cala Galdana, but the pace of life remains slow and steady providing just the right balance.

The villa was all that we expected and more. We had seen the villa before and booked it for the views we didn't like the 3 foot chain link fence around the villa but the views made up for that.

We spent a week at casa olives 6th may- 13th may 2016. We are parents in our early 30s with 2 young children and grandparents. What a fantastic location on the beautiful cove beach of Cala galdana. Walking through the house it was spotlessly clean with a view that left my body tingling with excitement! The villa has all the mod cons required by a family. Rooms are spacious and airy 2 with the stunning view also. The wardrobe space and hangers provided is in abundance one thing I did miss was a full length mirror. The secret balcony on the roof was beautiful and a lovely secluded space to catch some zzz. The wifi was a little bit tricky to get connected but the engineer was out within an hour and brought a brand new router. We saw a few ants during our stay but it didn't bother us as we zapped them. No chopping board or egg cups provided but we didn't bother to ask for these. The fence meant that the children were safe from the drop and our children do climb and escape from many places so don't let it put you off. The beds are also very comfy with shutters to keep the sunlight out when the children go to bed early. At this time of year it was a little cold at night so we got the spare duvets out. We ate out at the restaurant over the water on the opposite side of the bay (restaurants mirador), and the tapas restaurant in the village Alaska (very nice grilled squid). And the restaurant out of the town down the river (restaurant Cala mitijana) was excellent with children- we ate there twice. There is a restaurant with toboggan slides and a playground around and also crazy golf. Myself and my husband also went for a nice rustic traditional Spanish meal at meson el Gallo in ferreries, it was very nice if a little quiet but that was the time of year we think. Getting to the beach were easy as we were just up from hotel melia which has a lift down to their ground floor bar and restaurant. The beach was excellent- patrols up and down and very safe for the children as a gradual slope into the sea. The beach bar was a little expensive for drinks on the beach but worth it for convenience. Days out included a trip to Mao on a rainy day (not much going on as the market hadn't turned up!) and cuitadella which was beautiful (very Spanish with little squares and gorgeous shops). We also saw the Somni horse show on Wednesday afternoon (the mini show for the children). It is around 10 min drive from the villa and our children loved it. All in all a fantastic first trip to menorca, we are already planning a return trip to explore more of the island.

This villa is all about the location. The view from the terrace is spectacular with cliffs on either side of the bay towering above the boats bobbing on the clear blue water below with Majorca visible in the distance (sometimes). The photographs on the website don't do it justice. And the view can even be enjoyed from the fantastic villa pool. There is a supermarket quite nearby and the small Spar in the resort centre offers free delivery to the villa for you and your shopping. Similarly the beach is quite close as are a number of restaurants. Obviously these are all downhill on the way there, but uphill coming back. But the location also has a slight downside. The photographs on the website don't reveal just how close the villa is to an adjacent huge hotel. The noise from the waterfalls alongside their pool is present all day long and when they do water aerobics for an hour at midday you will need earplugs. The music is loud, but the instructor bellowing above it is unnacceptable.

10 of us went for a week's holiday Spring Bank week. Ages ranged from 2 through to 60. The views from the villa were stunning. The accommodation ideal for a large family group. The rear fencing was better than expected and the fenced pool ideal. We all had a great time exploring the area and enjoyed the beach close by. An excellent time had by all.

We stayed twice this year in Cala Galdana and found both villas lovely. particularly like the fact that reps are there if you need them and not at all pushy like reps from other villa companies. Your office staff were also extremely helpful. Suffice to say our holidays were wonderful. We have already booked our September 2009 holiday with you.

We were very impressed with the service that Solmar provided. Casa Olives was clean, well equipped and the location brilliant. I was impressed that the maid service visited during our one week stay to clean the villa and to provide fresh towels. We will certainly use Solamar again and plan to visit the island again this year.

We had a very enjoyable holiday experience. The directions/information you sent before the holiday were both clear and helpful. The car hire that we booked through you proved to be excellent. We were thrilled with the position of the villa, the stunning views, and the mod cons in the kitchen. All in all this was the best service we have ever had with a holiday villa rental. We will be pleased to recommend your holiday company to our friends, and look forward to using your services again.

We found the villa very clean both inside and out with everything provided that we needed. The collection and return from the airport was excellent and on time. The pool was excellent if a little cold as the sun did not have chance to heat it as it was in the (welcome) shade most of the day. I would recommend walking to the next bay as it is very beautiful. Overall we had an excellent holiday and found the whole experience booking and travelling with Solmar villas an excellent and completely hassel free process and will certainly be booking with you again.

Rated Excellent. A very well appointed villa, situated in a beautiful residential area close to the facilities of Cala Galdana. The resort is well set up and has everything you would expect to provide a relaxing holiday although expect it to be very crowded in high summer. It was comfortably busy in late September. The villa setting is truly spectacular and easily reached from the airport in 40 minutes. A good base to explore the island which has excellent roads.

Rated Excellent Casa Olives was a beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable villa set in the most stunning surroundings overlooking the beach and bay of Cala Galdana. The pool was lovely, clean and well-kept and the views (and sunsets) over the bay were amazing. The rep for the villa was friendly and efficient, and was on hand whenever we had any queries. We really enjoyed staying in Cala Galdana and would definitely return to the lovely island of Menorca.

Villa was in a good location, nice little walk into Afandou town which is unspoilt and very traditional. Wanted a relaxing holiday and that’s what I got, Villa was very peaceful.
