What do our guests say?

Guests booking apartments in Menorca through Holidu often highlight the value and convenience of a central flat, the ease of reaching the beaches and the calm, unspoilt feel of the island. Many mention the turquoise coves, the pretty harbour towns and the relaxed pace, and return for the rare mix of stunning beaches and peaceful, natural beauty away from the busier Balearic crowds.

The most peaceful of Spain's Balearic Islands, Menorca is a haven of turquoise coves, unspoilt countryside and whitewashed towns, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its natural beauty. Quieter than its neighbours Majorca and Ibiza, it charms with two historic harbour towns, Ciutadella and Mahón, a wealth of prehistoric monuments and some of the Mediterranean's most beautiful beaches. Relaxed and scenic, it makes an idyllic island base.

1. Beach-hop the turquoise coves

   Menorca is famed for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, from the sheltered sands of Cala Galdana to the wild, pine-fringed coves of Cala Macarella and Cala Turqueta. Their impossibly clear, turquoise water is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Some are reached only by boat or a short walk, keeping them blissfully unspoilt. Hop between them by car or sea taxi for the ultimate island beach days.

2. Walk the Camí de Cavalls

   Encircling the entire island, the historic Camí de Cavalls is a 185-kilometre coastal path once used to patrol Menorca on horseback. Split into manageable stages, it leads walkers past hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, wetlands and lighthouses, showcasing the island's varied and unspoilt scenery. Whether you tackle a short section to a secret beach or a longer trek, it is a wonderful way to experience Menorca's natural beauty on foot.

3. Explore Ciutadella

   The island's former capital, Ciutadella, is a beautiful town of honey-coloured palaces, a Gothic cathedral and a picturesque harbour lined with restaurants. Wander the maze of narrow, shaded lanes, browse the markets and squares, and soak up the elegant, historic atmosphere. Especially lovely in the evening light, and famous for its dramatic Sant Joan festival, it is the cultural and social heart of western Menorca.

4. Discover Mahón's harbour

   The island capital, Mahón (Maó), sits above one of the largest and deepest natural harbours in the world. Take a boat trip around its long inlet, past islands and old fortifications, then explore the Georgian-influenced town above, a legacy of British rule. Visit a gin distillery, browse the market and enjoy the waterfront restaurants. It is a fascinating and characterful base at the eastern end of the island.

5. Step back at Naveta des Tudons

   Menorca is dotted with mysterious prehistoric monuments, and the Naveta des Tudons is the finest, one of the oldest roofed buildings in Europe. This remarkable Bronze Age burial chamber, shaped like an upturned boat, has stood for over 3,000 years. Explore it and the island's other talayotic sites, with their towering stone taula and talayot structures, for a fascinating glimpse into Menorca's ancient past.

6. Climb Monte Toro

   At the very centre of the island rises Monte Toro, Menorca's highest point at 358 metres. Drive or walk to the summit, crowned by a 17th-century sanctuary, for breathtaking 360-degree views across the whole island to the sea beyond. On a clear day you can see from coast to coast. Peaceful and panoramic, it is the perfect spot to appreciate the scale and beauty of Menorca.

7. Taste Menorcan gin

   A legacy of the island's 18th-century British connection, gin is a proud Menorcan tradition, distilled here for centuries. Visit the historic Xoriguer distillery on Mahón's harbour to learn its story and enjoy a tasting. Be sure to try a "pomada", the island's beloved mix of gin and cloudy lemonade, especially during the summer fiestas. It is a delicious and distinctive taste of Menorca's unique heritage.
