Menorca

Menorca

Menorca thoroughly deserves its reputation as the Jewel of the Balearics. With an undeniable treasure trove of unspoilt beaches to its name – there are more beaches on Menorca than on Majorca and Ibiza combined, and a rich cultural heritage all of its own.

Offering a more relaxed alternative to its neighbours, Menorca is the ideal holiday retreat. Much of the island has been preserved and protected with UNESCO status – from the ancient megaliths that dot the landscape to the picturesque towns that have remained unchanged. Venture out of your hotel and take a trip to the capital of Mahon. Stroll through the honey-coloured streets that lead to the main square, Plaça d'es Born, browse the bustling markets and venture down to the bustling harbour. Or hire a car and drive to the little fishing village Fornells, for the best dish on the island – caldereta de llagosta (lobster stew).
