Menorca holidays are your ticket to one of the quieter Balearic Islands, with beaches backed by nature trails and cute fishing villages.
Mellow Menorca
One of babes of the Balearic Islands, Menorca bobs just off the east coast of Spain. While it rubs up next to fab-for-families Majorca and party-ready Ibiza, this back-to-nature island is a shy kind of guy – and that’s why people love it.
Natural beauty
Rather than bright lights and big-name sights, Menorca’s more interested in Mother Nature’s handiwork. Its UNESO-rated biosphere reserve, the Albufera des Grau Natural Park, is just the place to pull on your hiking boots and blaze a trail past fish-filled lagoons and bird-magnet marshland.
Cute capital
The closest you’ll get to a busy city is Mahon – the island’s capital. Its claim to fame is that it has the world’s second largest natural harbour. This is also where you’ll find the Xoriguer gin distillery, streets crammed with traditional bars and restaurants, and a handful of 18th-century churches.
Bank of beaches
Menorca is as sandy as you like and it tends to be quieter than elsewhere in the Balearics. Take Cala Trebaluger – a forest-backed cove that's a 40-minutes trek from civilisation. Cala Galdana, meanwhile, is big and easy to get to, making it a hit with families.
Best time to go to Menorca
The best time to visit Menorca is from June to September, where hot, dry days offer temps in the high-20s. You can slip into the sea water as easy as a warm bath during these months. Even by November, we’re only talking an average of 19°C, and, by January, a spring-like 15°C.
