Overview
Es Canutells is a mixture of residential homes, private holiday villas and a large but lowrise apartment hotel complex ( Hotel Mar de Menorca ). Located between the larger resorts of Binibeca and Cala den Porter this is a perhaps destination for those seeking a relaxed, uncommercialised resort.
The resort is located on one side of an attractive inlet with a sandy beach backed with natural pristine gorge with an extensive cane 'forest'. While Es Canutells is itself rather quiet and more for relaxtion there are lots more on offer within a short (car/bus journey) distance.
It is recommended to have a hire car if staying here or maybe that's just what you want - quiet and to not move from the lounger!
The Grupotel Mar de Menorca is the only Hotel in this location. A self contained holiday complex designed for families.
Sant Climent is the nearest town around 5-10 minutes away by car and also serviced by bus. Mahon, the capital, is only 10 minutes drive away so you're not far from a lot more to see and do if you get the desire.
Some of Menorcas' famous under water caves at nearby Cap D'en Font make this a good base for keen divers. And for the less enthusiastic divers there is good snorkelling just off the beach. If you fancy something a little bit more wild there is a very pretty virgin cove and beach ( Cala Biniparratx ) just up the coast westwards-follow the coast road to Binidali. A small limestone gorge with cut out caves near the beach.
A less known place is the Necropolis burial caves that are cut into the soft coastline at Es Canutell-Parents should make sure children are not un accompanied and extreme care is taken

Couple of smaller gift shops and mini mart supermarkets are in the commercial area next to hotel Mar de Menorca.

Nothing besides the one var and what is on at your accommodation
Few Bars / restaurants in nearbu Sant Cilment. Nearby Capital of Mahon offers alot more with something for everyone, but with none of the "bing drink clubbing" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca. Menorca is not Majorca but that is why many people come here!
