Your Ultimate Guide to Menorca

Whether you
are looking for a luxurious holiday for you and your friends or want to spend
some quality time with your adult children, it’s time to skip the overcrowded
hotels and all-inclusive resorts. It’s time to take luxury into your own hands
and have the dream trip you have always wanted, on your own terms.

In Menorca,
you have crystalline waters and picturesque beaches without the hustle and
bustle of nearby Mallorca or Ibiza. This mellow island is the perfect
destination to soak up some sun, explore ancient towns, and enjoy some truly
beautiful countryside. For those looking for a tasteful, relaxing holiday,
Menorca is the place to be.

To help you
truly make the most out of this beautiful island (which claims a UNESCO
Biosphere Reserve accolade) all you need is to follow this guide.  

Rent a Luxurious Villa

The first step to having the ultimate holiday in Menorca is to skip the cookie-cutter hotel or the hand-holding resorts and instead take your holiday into your own hands. Menorca holidays are simply not complete without your own private villa. Whether you go with a group, or with your family, a villa is the perfect place to relax and unwind without the feel of people watching over you. You can enjoy a luxurious stay on your own terms, and then explore Menorca to your heart’s content and at your own leisure.

The Best Beaches on the Island



There is over 200km of pristine coastline, which means there are dozens of incredible beaches to choose from. Either find your own personal haven along the coast of sandy paradises or choose from our top picks:



· Cala Turqueta

This beach offers white sands and pine forests, which makes for a unique and stunning beach in the Mediterranean. With the white sands here, the water is also truly spectacular, with the blue of these waters being out of this world and completely unforgettable. There are even nearby cliffs that you can jump into the sea from, offering a fun and exhilarating day at the beach that isn’t just enjoying the views.

· Cala Mitjana

This
beautiful cliffside beach is easily accessible to all and a great place to
lounge all day at. Walk along the waters, enjoy a dip in the water, or soak in
that beautiful sun.

· Cala Pregonda

For golden
sands and beautiful cliffs, head to Cala Pregonda. You can reach the beach via
a footpath, so it isn’t ideal for families or groups who have a member with
limited mobility, but for those without such concerns, a beautiful paradise
awaits you.

Top Sights in Menorca

Beaches
aren’t the only things to do and see in Menorca. There are many other top
sights to choose from and enjoy:

· El Toro

El Toro is
the peak of Menorca and the tallest mountain in the Santa Rosa mountain range.
If hiking is on your to-do list, then this destination offers some of the best
panoramic views in all of Menorca and elevates you more than 2600 m over sea
level.  

· Mola Fortress

Visit Mola
Fortress, which was built on special orders of Queen Elizabeth II (of Spain).
It is a stunning structure you can now explore.

Things to Do In Menorca

Activities in Menorca involve the sea, the towns, and great food:

· Explore the Towns

The towns are not nearly as famous as the beaches, that doesn’t mean you should
ignore them in favour of cooking at your villa. Instead, find a nearby town to
you and make that your home base. Enjoy the local side of Menorca, enjoy great
food, and try locally produced specialities and wines.

· Rent a Boat

Renting a
boat or booking a boat tour (we recommend either a catamaran tour or a sailboat
tour) means you can get a glimpse of all the beautiful beaches mentioned above
from the sea. There are sunset options, food and drink tours, and even snorkelling
and other water adventure sports to be had.

· Fun in the Sea

There is so
much you can do on the coast of Menorca. Swim, sunbathe, scuba dive, snorkel,
parasail, surf – the options are limitless. You came for the beaches, so make
the most of your beach days by getting your feet wet and setting your sense of
adventure aflame.

Go with
your friends, go with your family – whatever you do, spend time with the ones
you love on Menorca. This laid-back island has all the makings of an island
escapade at a pace that will rejuvenate and whisk you away.
