Horseback Riding in Cala Mitjana, Menorca

Summer rides end at a sea viewpoint. Winter rides finish on the white sand beach itself.

Horseback riding in Cala Mitjana, Menorca takes you along rural inland roads and the Camí de Cavalls trail to a virgin cove on the south coast, designed for beginners and families. The route lasts about 90 minutes with a professional guide in English or Spanish and helmet provided. In summer you stop at a viewpoint overlooking the turquoise water. In winter the ride ends on the beach itself. Minimum age is 12, and riders must weigh no more than 95 kg.

The experience

The ride starts on inland paths and follows the Camí de Cavalls (the old stone-paved trail that rings the island) until it opens onto Cala Mitjana. This route is built for people new to riding or those who have ridden only a few times, and it works just as well for families with children or anyone who wants a gentle pace without a long physical demand. The guide assigns you a horse matched to your experience level, so let them know beforehand if you're a complete beginner.

What you see changes with the season. In summer, the ride takes you to a high point with views across the water that people come back to photograph. In winter, when the beach opens to riders, you actually finish on the white sand of Cala Mitjana itself: the turquoise cove that sits at the end of the route. Either way, the landscape is the kind that stops people in their tracks.

The outing runs about 90 minutes total. You'll wear a helmet throughout, and a professional guide leads the whole group in either English or Spanish. Riders must be at least 12 years old, and anyone under 18 needs an adult along. The maximum weight allowed is 95 kg.
