What is the best time to visit Punta Prima?

Menorca knows how to deliver the goods when it comes to weather, whether you want to be a sizzling sun-god or just enjoy a swanky coastal breeze. While summer is the main event for those seeking scorchio temperatures, the shoulder seasons offer a more peaceful vibe for exploring without breaking a sweat.

  • Summer - Expect booming heat and 10/10 sunshine, perfect for those who want to spend all day floating in the sea.

  • Autumn - The water stays warm but the crowds thin out, making it a top-tier time for a cheeky late-season getaway.

  • Winter - It’s quiet and cool, ideal for hikers who want the island to themselves and don't mind a refreshing breeze.

  • Spring - The island is gorge and green, with mild temperatures that are just right for alfresco tapas and coastal exploring.

The weather in Punta Prima is classic Mediterranean, meaning you can leave the umbrella at home for most of the year. During the peak of summer, you’re looking at temperatures hitting the 30°C mark, which is prime time for getting that golden glow and staying hydrated with a steady rotation of cocktails.

As things move into the autumn and spring, the heat settles into a very comfortable mid-20s range. It’s still plenty warm enough for a dip, but you won't feel like you're melting while you tackle your second plate of paella. Even in the cooler months, the sun makes frequent appearances, keeping things bright and cheerful compared to a grey Tuesday back home.
