9Cala Macarella, Menorca, Spain

The Balearic Islands are famed for their crystal-clear coves, but Cala Macarella on Menorca stands out even among them. Framed by pine-covered cliffs, its lagoon-like bay glows with every shade of blue and green imaginable.

The shallow, transparent waters make it a dream for swimming and snorkeling, while the nearby trail to Cala Macarelleta offers jaw-dropping panoramic views. Menorca’s status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve ensures that its coastline remains unspoiled and protected.
