1. Cala Macarella

    Menorca's answer to a screensaver come to life, Cala Macarella is a horseshoe cove where turquoise water sits wedged between limestone cliffs and pine forest like it was designed by committee. The enclosed bay keeps things glassy and calm even when the rest of the Med gets choppy, which the sunbathers and snorkelers in residence clearly appreciate. It's busy, but protected-area rules keep the circus to a minimum.
