Forget your problems with a short break in Menorca

Why should I go to Menorca for a long weekend or minibreak?

Menorca is one of the best holiday destinations in Europe for anyone who loves nature. The entire island has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, so your short holiday in Menorca will be packed with opportunities to embrace the great outdoors. Explore the S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, where migratory birds take a break on their annual journeys. Ospreys, red kites, and majestic peregrine falcons are among the regular sights in this marvellous park. Trek sections of the Camí de Cavalls, the coastal route that winds around the island, taking you through white sand beaches, marshy wetlands, and across rugged cliffs. Prefer to take it easy? Then just relax during your minibreak in Menorca! Look for villas in Binibeca or other calm beach resorts, soak up the sun, and enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet.

Where should I stay for a short holiday in Menorca?

If you're in the mood for a city break in Menorca, you have two main options. The island's capital, Maó, has a wide variety of restaurants and some great shopping, as well as some impressive cultural attractions. Explore the Mola Fortress and discover the old fortifications built hundreds of years ago by the British to defend the island from pirates. For something livelier, look for holiday lettings in Menorca in or near Ciutadella. This is Menorca's other main city, and it has vibrant nightlife with lots of opportunities for bar-hopping. By day, its narrow, cobbled streets are ripe for exploration. Of course, there are lots of other places to look for villas in Menorca if you're in the mood for a quiet long weekend by the beach. Choose a villa in Cala Galdana for one of the island's biggest and most accessible beaches, a long, crescent-shaped stretch of sand with calm, shallow waters. You'll need to be a bit more active if you stay in a villa in Cala en Porter; in this seaside town, the beach is located down a steep flight of steps, which will give you a bit of a workout on your way to the sunlounger.
