Pack your hiking boots to explore S'Albufera des Grau Nature Reserve. It’s a haven for wildlife among forests, wetlands, dunes and cliffs.
Menorca’s capital, Mahon, rests on the world’s second-largest natural harbour. Discover the city’s museums, take a boat trip on the harbour and dine with views of the marina.

A Baroque convent building houses the Museum of Menorca. Fascinating collections cover several floors, including archaeological finds from the Talaiotic, Roman and Byzantine eras.
You’ll see the tallest taula in Menorca at the Talaiotic village of Torralba d’en Salort. Along with the stone monuments, discover excavated caves and statues.
The island’s largest Talaiotic settlement is Torre d’en Galmes, which covers over 60,000 square metres. Religious buildings, circular houses and monuments rest on a backdrop of panoramic views.

Beaches

Beaches in Menorca

With more than 70 spectacular bays and coves, Menorca holidays are heaven for beach lovers.

Vivid blue water and dark green pines await at the beautiful Cala Mitjana. Swim around the headland to the smaller cove of Cala Mitjaneta and hike across limestone cliffs.
Families with small children love Son Saura for its sheltered, shallow water. Two crescents of white sand rest on either side of a rocky headland, so there’s plenty of room for sandcastles.
Cala Macarella is a poster child among Menorca’s dazzling beaches, with eye-popping aqua water on a backdrop of cliffs and pine trees. The neighbouring Cala Macarelleta offers the same supermodel looks with a slightly quieter vibe.
Fancy some cliff-jumping? There’s a spot to do so into the astonishing teal water at Cala Turqueta. Don’t forget your snorkelling gear to explore rocky seabeds.
Jump on a pedalo or go kayaking around the shimmering bay of Adrenal d'en Castell. A wooden boardwalk is lined with cafes and beach bars.

Quiet beaches in Menorca

With a strong focus on preserving the environment, Menorca offers idyllic beach holidays on a backdrop of pristine nature.

Take a half-hour hike to the remote Cala Trebaluger. The river of the same name flows into the sea and pine forests surround the sand. Crystalline waters and plenty of fish ensure great snorkelling.
Arrive by boat or take a 60-minute hike along the Cami de Cavalls to stunning Cala Escorxada. A strip of bright white sand contrasts beautifully with the turquoise sea and lush pine trees.
Reddish cliffs and sand create a striking natural colour palette at Playa de Cavalleria. Rocky seabeds around the cliffs provide excellent diving and snorkelling.
Small islets offshore shelter Cala Pregonda’s sand, the colour of which changes from gold to pinkish red in the light. Swim out to the rocky outcrops and explore the underwater landscape.
Scenic caves and coves are protected by dramatic cliffs at Cala Coves, which is the site of Menorca’s largest necropolis. Step from the rocks into glassy water or visit via a boat trip.

Traditional dishes to try in Menorca

Dairy farms, vineyards and age-old traditions combine to create the scrumptious cuisine of Menorca.

Numerous dairy farms on the island produce the famous Mahon cheese. Its distinctive orange rind is the result of butter and paprika. Try it in various stages of maturation for textures from soft and mild to deliciously crumbly.
