Menorca Holidays

Experience amazing food in the old capital during the lunchtime rush for an authentic experience.

These days Mahon is Menorca’s capital, but locals refer to the island’s historic capital Ciutadella as Vella i Bella, meaning ‘the old and the beautiful.’

You’ll see why when you explore its cobbled streets. Old churches, traditional architecture, upmarket souvenir shops and tempting restaurants all make visitors fall under its spell.

An enchanting city to explore on your Menorcan holiday, an ideal place for relaxing with a few bites at lunch under the sun.

If you enjoy gin, take a trip to the Xoriguer Gin Distillery, the last of the traditional distilleries still standing, to sip some aromatic Menorcan gin. The 18th century copper stills and bronze pipes give a sense of history to the distillery that overlooks the harbour. Located on Mahon harbour, the gin itself has quite a cult following on the island, be sure to sample some of the flavours, including chocolate and peppermint!

For seafood lovers, Menorca is the ideal place to try some of the local catch.

Punta Prima in the south east corner of Menorca is a holiday resort famous for its seafront seafood restaurants.

Great, fresh food can be found all over the island so you'll find much opportunity to eat like the locals by trying some delicious, healthy seafood instead.

If octopus seems a bit too adventurous, start with grilled fish before moving on to squid - you won’t regret it!

Whether you’re away with kids or not, holidays in Menorca are not complete without a trip to one of the island’s two fantastic waterparks.

Located on the west coast, AquaCenter and Aquarock Parque have loads of fun in store.

The fun includes including stomach-flipping near-sheer drops, lazy rivers to float your cares away and entertainment for the under fives.

In short, a day at a waterpark is a holiday must in Menorca.

No matter what resort you choose in Menorca, you’re never far from a beautiful beach to dip your toes in the water and feel the sand between your toes.

Son Bou, Menorca’s longest sandy beach, has a pleasantly lively vibe, with its great selection of restaurants and bars.

For a complete contrast, make the trip to the tiny fishing cove of Cala Binisafuller, an idyllic beach shaded by palm trees.
