Menorca

Introducing Menorca

Menorca has that desert island spirit, with plenty to discover inland. Explore the Parc Natural S’Albufera d’es Grau – a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve – and observe birds and lizards in their natural habitats. Meander past the old, white-washed buildings of Ciutedella where cobbled streets lead to pretty plazas. And give yourself time to relax on the quiet, sandy beaches dotted around your luxury hotel. Menorca’s beaches are unspoilt, with glistening sand and turquoise water, making Menorca the perfect beach holiday destination.

Things to do

HISTORY
Spend a day wandering the neighbourhood of Old Ciutadella for a flavour of Menorca’s past. Or to experience some the island’s military history, you could walk the tunnels at Fort Marlborough. But don’t leave without visiting some of Menorca’s important archaeological sites – the Torre de’en Galmés offers a unique insight into ancient, Talayotic life.

BEACHES
You’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve landed in the Caribbean when you escape to the beach in Menorca. The sand is white, the seas are clear, and there are quiet crescents and coves right along the coastline. The challenge will be choosing which one to spend the day on.

NATURE
The protected area of Parc Natural S’Albufera d’es Grau is an unmissable sight. At the centre of Menorca’s Biosphere Reserve sits a huge, freshwater lagoon. Here you’ll spy wetland species of every size and colour, as well as migrating birds.

Top Tip from SLH

Menorca’s crystal-clear water makes it excellent snorkelling and diving territory. Book a private, guided tour and explore underwater caves.
