Free your mind on a yoga holiday in Menorca

Why should I go on a yoga holiday to Menorca?

For decades, the Balearic Islands have been popular destinations for yoga holidays. However, Menorca is still not as well-known as Ibiza and Mallorca - making it a good choice for anyone who wants a low-key, quiet getaway. On your yoga trip to Menorca, you'll be able to choose from studio classes and your own outdoor sessions. If you'd rather practise in a studio as part of an organised class, head to the island's two main cities, Maó and Ciutadella. However, the real glory of a yoga holiday in Menorca is the chance to practise outside. There are over one hundred beaches around the island, many of them small, secluded coves that are often completely empty early in the morning - perfect for a sunrise session. For an active holiday, roll up your mat and hit the island's iconic Camí de Cavalls hiking trail. As you follow this coastal route, you'll find dozens of private spots where you can enjoy a quiet session under the clear blue sky.

Where should I stay for a relaxing yoga retreat in Menorca?

Most yoga studios in Menorca are located in the cities of Ciutadella and Maó, so look for holiday lettings in Menorca in these two locations if you want organised classes with a teacher. In Ciutadella, you'll also have the option of stand-up paddleboard yoga - a daring discipline that will truly put your sense of balance to the test! However, you might prefer to forget the studio sessions and do your own thing. In that case, it's a good idea to stay in a coastal villa in Menorca, as there are so many great beaches around the island where you can practise. For easy beach access, choose villas in Cala Galdana. A picturesque, crescent-shaped stretch of sand around shallow turquoise waters, Cala Galdana is one of the most popular beaches on the island, so you'll need to get up early for a quiet yoga session. There are several small, peaceful coves that you can easily reach from a villa in Cala en Porter, giving you more privacy - but just keep in mind that most of them are located down steep flights of steps. Another good choice for your yoga break in Menorca is a villa in Binibeca. This charming resort in the south of the island has a lot of great beaches nearby, along with quiet clifftop spots for some windswept practice.
