Menorca Holidays

Boasting beaches galore, delicious food and hot, hot summers, the Balearic Island of Menorca is a treat to visit. So, whether you’re a couple in love or a family looking to take it easy for a week or two, Menorca is the place to be for a chilled-out break in the sun.

Beaches
Not one to be put out by its larger sisters, little Menorca still has its fair share of beautiful beaches, like the stunning cove of Cala Macarella, the pristine sands of Cala Galdana, and the picture-perfect Son Saura.

Food & Drink
We all like our creature comforts, but you’re missing out on some seriously good grub if you only stick to British classics during your stay. Enjoy queso de Mahón, a local white cheese with hints of sea salt and paprika, oliaigu, a simple tomato soup popular with locals in the summer heat, or arroz caldos amb peix, a rich seafood and rice stew made with the catch of the day. And where drinks are concerned, try a spot of the local tipple, Xoriguer gin!

Culture
A way of life in Menorca is the concept of ‘working to live, not living to work’- you’ll find locals going out of their way to help you and make you feel welcome during your stay but they do not define themselves by working. Instead, they love to focus on friends, food, and family- making the most out of life’s most simple, but rewarding, pleasures.

Nightlife
While Menorca is definitely quieter than the likes of Ibiza and Majorca, there are still plenty of places around the island to get your groove on and let loose. Popular night spots include the Bou Hai in Son Bou, Aloha Cocktail Bar in Cala’n Porter, and the seaside Moonlight Cocktail Bar in Ciutadella.
