Menorca Holidays
Picnics on sleepy shorelines and charming towns await on a holiday on Menorca.
Holidays in Menorca
For a blissful holiday in the Balearics, look no further than the magnificent island of Menorca. More peaceful than the larger Balearic Islands, a trip to Menorca is perfect if you enjoy relaxing holidays that still offer plenty of culture.
Menorca also boasts breathtaking natural beauty, with over 200 beaches ranging from long sandy stretches to hidden coves framed by turquoise waters. Beyond the coast, the island’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status highlights its diverse landscapes, from rolling countryside and pine forests to dramatic cliffs. Visitors can wander through charming towns like Ciutadella and Mahón, discover prehistoric stone monuments, or savour authentic local dishes such as lobster stew. With its slower pace of life and rich heritage, Menorca offers a holiday experience that feels both restorative and deeply cultural.
Why Visit Menorca?
- Menorca is famed for crystal-clear waters and over 200 quieter beaches than Ibiza or Majorca, with Cala Macarella and Cala Mitjana among the most stunning.
- A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island features rugged cliffs, limestone coasts, and lush meadows — perfect for hiking, cycling, and kayaking.
- Ciutadella enchants with medieval streets, while Mahón boasts a vast harbour and Georgian architecture. Ancient monuments like navetas and talayots reveal its prehistoric past.
- Known for its laid-back vibe, Menorca offers fresh seafood, lobster stew, boutique hotels, and rustic villages that embody authentic Mediterranean living.

Things to See & Do
Menorca is remarkably peaceful. Hemmed in stunning beaches, that are rarely busy, Menorca is a perfect place for families or couples looking for the ideal beach holiday. A great day out for families, Menorca Zoo offers the chance to get up close and personal with wildlife and learn about the beautiful flora and fauna that adorn the island. Menorca’s twin cities are also great places to spend a day. Historic, charming, and classy, Mahon and Ciutadella are alive with winding cobbled streets, packed with cultural treasures and elegant eateries. For travellers who like to keep active on holiday, the island is brimming with wonders to explore. Stroll soft sands to unspoilt coves. Hop on a bike and cycle one of the many scenic coastal routes. Or hike to Monte Toro, the highest point on Menorca, and be rewarded with panoramic views and ancient monuments that grace its peak.
Food & Drink
In the main resorts, international dishes are the order of the day, with a great choice of cuisines from around the world for tourists to enjoy. However, if you want to try some food native to Menorca, then local eateries offer some tasty options. Indulge in the famous Caldereta de Langosta, a lobster stew bursting with flavour. Ready for something sweet? Why not try Pudin de Requesón for dessert? A creamy and crumbly cheese pudding with cinnamon, lemon zest, or nutmeg flavours.
