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.
Where is the best place to stay on Menorca?
In Menorca, there's a resort for everyone! The coastal resort of Santo Tomas is perfect if you want to relax by the beach and try activities like tennis and horse riding. Son Bou is a picturesque strip of golden sand and turquoise waters; very popular with families and friends who love activities, like jet skiing and scuba diving, as well as the entertaining nightlife.
Ciutadella stands out from the other Balearic holiday resorts. The former capital of Menorca, there are plenty of historic treasures to admire if you fancy embracing the local culture. Then there's Cala‘n Bosch, a modern resort on the southwest coast of Menorca. An interesting way to see the resort is to hop on the leisurely mini train that runs around the resort and through the other districts. Bustling with lively bars and restaurants, Cala'n Bosch is hugely popular with families and friends.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN MENORCA
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 cobble 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 AND DRINK IN MENORCA
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.
