Why fly to Menorca?

Family-friendly resorts, lush green mountains, secluded coves and undoubtedly Spain’s best beaches; if it’s rest and relaxation you’re after then a Menorca holiday is just the ticket. It might not be as famous as its noisier Balearic sisters Majorca and Ibiza, but Menorca packs just as big a punch in the perfect holiday destination stakes. For one thing it has more beaches than the two of them put together. If you like your sand fine, your waters crystal clear and warm and some beautiful deserted coves, bays and rocky inlets, then this is the place for you. Menorca really is beach heaven! Tempted yet? Well you will be when we tell you that the island has also remained relatively untouched by tourism despite tempting thousands of visitors back year after year. You don’t get any neon lit high-rises here.

Menorca is a slice of traditional Spain at its best and once you’ve veered away from those beaches, if you can, you’ll find another world completely. One of small hillside villages and rolling countryside complete with smatterings of ancient Talayotic and Roman ruins – perfect walking country, if you’re up for it. Or how about visiting the dunes and wetlands of the UNESCO bioreserve of S’Albufera d’Es Grau that stretches 8 kilometres along Menorca’s east coast?

Best time to visit

From May to September the holiday crowds hit the island of Menorca. This is when the temperatures soar, often peaking in the 30s, and the beaches are filled with holidaymakers who want to swim in the warm water and catch a tan. The resorts are buzzing during the summer months, too, filled with street performers and market stalls.

Avoid the crowds

Menorca’s picturesque coastline and rugged interiors are begging to be explored, and you’ll find hiking and biking trails that are better suited to tackling in cooler months, such as March and April. You’ll also avoid the holiday crowds if you sidestep the busiest months of May, June, July and August.
