Private Jet Menorca to Cavallo

Menorca to Cavallo is one of the shortest legs on the network, a crossing of just 252 nautical miles suited to a very light jet like the Cessna Citation Mustang or Embraer Phenom 100, departing Menorca Airport in the Balearic Islands. At this distance the flight takes roughly half an hour, cruising comfortably above 30,000 feet and offering a genuinely efficient island-to-island connection within the western Mediterranean. Cavallo, the destination, forms part of the Lavezzi archipelago, a scatter of granite islets set within the Bonifacio Strait between Corsica and Sardinia. Both islands share a certain Balearic-meets-Mediterranean sensibility built around clear water and understated luxury, though Cavallo takes seclusion considerably further: there are no roads, no vehicles and no large-scale development, only sandy footpaths connecting a handful of villas tucked among maritime pines. Currents flowing through the strait keep the sea around Cavallo remarkably transparent, a quality that has drawn sailors for generations and helped the island earn a reputation among a discerning, largely European clientele who prize privacy above all else. Development has stayed deliberately minimal across decades of ownership, preserving Cavallo’s granite headlands and pine-covered interior rather than expanding its capacity for visitors. There is no commercial strip here, just villa terraces and the occasional yacht anchored offshore. For travellers already summering in the Balearics, the short hop to Cavallo makes for an easy extension, pairing Menorca’s beaches with a quieter, more secluded island experience just across the western Mediterranean. A day or two here rounds out a Balearic itinerary nicely, with mornings for swimming and afternoons given over to slow lunches on a shaded terrace.
