Holidays in Menorca offer you a relaxing and peaceful break in a beautiful location. Although smaller than its sister island Majorca, the island boasts as many beaches as the rest of the Balearic Islands put together and this makes for a destination which can cater for all needs. The relaxed and slow paced way of life in Menorca means that people come back year after year to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Holidays in Menorca are particularly suitable for families with the majority of the resorts being child friendly. Cala Galdana in the south of the island is situated only 25 miles away from the airport but still offers a quiet atmosphere and one of the best beaches on the island. This resort is ideal for family holidays as it is away from the more lively bars such as those situated in the horse shoe shaped bay of Cala’n Porter. If you are looking for a more active holiday the north of the island offers a wide variety of water sports.
As well as beautiful beaches holidays in Menorca offer gentle walks through secluded hills which give breath taking views over the island. Hidden amongst these are small villages which will give you a true picture of traditional Menorcan life. In contrast Menorca’s two cities Mahon and Ciudadela offer medieval architecture and unique shops to give you a break from days lying on the beach.
Menorcan summers last from May through to October and during this time temperatures can reach up to 29°c however the island is still popular during the winter as the mild temperatures are more suited to the walking and water sports the island has to offer. The variation in holidays available in Menorca means that it is the perfect destination all year round.
