Beaches

Many of the beaches in Menorca are ideal for families, with shallow waters for the little ones and soft sand for everyone to relax on. There are a lot of small sandy coves to be discovered around the coasts and many of the beaches are peaceful, even during the summer months.

The best beaches can be found at the southern resorts of Cala Galdana, with its beautifully blue water and horseshoe shaped shore; Son Bou, which has the long stretch of brilliant sand and the south-eastern resort of Punta Prima.

Highlights

Wandering around the island’s capital Mahon, home to one of the biggest natural harbours in the world

Taking advantage of the beautiful beaches around the island, like Son Bou with its long and wide stretch of sand to chill on

Taking in the sights while on holiday in Menorca, on top of Monte Toro, the island’s highest peak, where you can see Fornells and sometimes even Majorca

Enjoying a day of fun at Los Delfines Aquapark, near Ciutadella, with shoots, slides and even bouncy castles and trampolines, which should help you dry off

Swinging north for a round of golf at the championship quality Club Son Parc, where the club are happy to hire out clubs, so you don’t have to bring your own

Seeing the birds that flock to the island’s wetlands in S’Albufera Natural Park, like egrets, sandpipers and warblers

Seeing how people lived in Menorca during the Bronze Age, at Cales Coves, where about 100 caves have been carved into the cliffs

Discovering Menorca’s brilliant pre-historic past at Naveta des Tudons, a Bronze Age burial chamber with some of Europe’s oldest buildings

Looking up at the Stonehenge-style rock structures, and ambling around pre-historic watchtowers and burial chambers at Trepuco, just south of Mahon

Food and drink

If you’re fond of the odd G and T, Xoriguer gin is a popular drink here, with the distillery on Mahon’s waterfront. The aromatic tipple has been made here since the 18th century for British servicemen in Menorca.

Seafood is very popular on the island, and if you head to the northern resort of Fornells, you can tuck into lobster stew. Remember to take your autograph book with you, because Juan Carlos I, the King of Spain, is said to dine here.

Mayonnaise is believed to have got its name from Mahon, so it’s only right to squirt some on your chips while in the capital.

Top

Evening Flavour

Mahon and Ciutadella have bars and clubs to dance the night away in. There’s a casino in Mahon too, where you can have a flutter before wandering around the beautiful harbour and stopping off at the bars and restaurants.

One place definitely worth checking out is Cova d’en Xoroi, in Cala ‘n Porter. This is a bar and club like no other, set inside a cave overlooking the sea, open during the day and into the small hours, this is a party venue you won’t forget.

Top

Shopping

Markets are very popular in Menorca, with locals and tourists wandering the stalls looking for a bargain. Some of the best markets can be found in Mahon, Es Castell, Ferreries and Ciutadella and the jewellery, clothes, shoes and pottery are all for sale.

In Mahon, you can browse the stalls of the 18th Century convent and there are a few boutique shops in Ciutadella. Sandals and the local Xoriguer gin are the big sellers in Menorca.

Dates for the Diary

June 24th is the Festa de Sant Joan, with the biggest celebrations held in Ciutadella. The night before the 24th sees lots of festivities, like singing, dancing and horse shows.

Top

For the Family

It’s not as big as some of the blockbusters, but the Los Delfines Aquapark has a family-friendly feel. Rides include the Black Hole and Adventure River. There are also hidrotubes and an on-site restaurant.

With ball pits, bouncy castles, bumper cars, crazy golf and swimming pools, the kids will run themselves ragged at Goody Goody Park.

Kick your heels up and let your hair down at one of Spain’s fun-filled fiestas. You’ll see fireworks, dancing horses and traditional dancing.
