  Arguably the most enjoyable part of a holiday in Menorca is just taking time out for yourself to relax in the sun, and in the summer there is certainly no shortage of that! During the peak months of July and August, the sun can be out for an impressive 10 hours per day, peaking at around 30°; Celsius in the daytime, and 23 or 24 in the evening. Santo Tomas can receive strong winds from the south, so care should be taken when swimming in the sea with kids during this time, though these winds will be more evident in the winter months, making the sea choppier.

  For a less scorching break, you might want to consider visiting Santo Tomas in April or May. During these times the temperature peaks at about 24°; Celsius, with around 8 hours of sun, ensuring a sunny holiday in a much cooler climate.

FAQs

How far is Santo Tomas from the airport?

Around 27km – about 30-35 minutes' drive. We can sort your transfers when you book.

Is Santo Tomas good for families?

Brilliant. The beach is sandy with gentle slopes into the water, there's a proper promenade for strolling, and the resort is small enough that older kids can safely explore. Just be aware it's quiet – if you want waterparks and entertainment, Son Bou is nearby.

What's Cova des Coloms?

A massive natural cave nicknamed "the Cathedral" because of its size – 24 metres high, 100 metres deep. It's hidden in the Binigaus ravine about 30 minutes' walk from Es Migjorn Gran or Binigaus beach. Free to visit and absolutely worth the hike.

Can I walk to Binigaus beach?

Yes! It's about 10-15 minutes along the Camí de Cavalls coastal path. Binigaus is a stunning virgin beach with no facilities, so bring water and snacks. It's popular with naturists – just so you know.

What's the nightlife like?

Chilled. Your hotel will put on entertainment, there are a handful of bars including Las Dunas for families and Costa Sur for something more elegant. For proper nightlife, head to Mahon or Cala n Porter's famous cave club.

Is there much to do beyond the beach?

The Camí de Cavalls coastal path passes through, so hiking is brilliant. You can walk to Binigaus beach, explore Cova des Coloms, visit the authentic village of Es Migjorn Gran, or take day trips to Ciutadella, Mahon or other beaches. Hire a car and the whole island opens up.

When's the best time to visit?

June to September for beach weather. Early August for the Sant Cristòfol festival in Es Migjorn Gran. May and October are gorgeous if you prefer fewer crowds and cooler hiking temperatures.
