Menorca is the most laid-back and traditional of the major Balearic Islands. Compared to its neighbours Majorca and Ibiza, it’s been relatively unchanged by tourism, with resorts balanced by stunning natural beauty, secret beaches and historic architecture. On Menorca holidays there’s plenty to do, with two cities and miles of coastline to explore.

Menorca’s two focal points are Mahón in the east and Ciutadella, the former capital, over in the west, both with a classy, 18th century feel. They’re well connected, making exploring the little resorts of this go-slow island really simple. These hotspots are renowned for historic buildings and mouth-watering eateries.
Menorca is ringed by beaches and, unlike some other Mediterranean destinations, they’re almost never full. The island is brimming with nature, all convenient to get around, with well-managed sands within walking distance of unspoilt coves where you might not see another soul all day. Sheer bliss.
A marina at the centre of everything and a sandy beach right around the corner – these are just two reasons why Cala’n Bosch draws crowds all year round.
It’s all about wispy, white sands and softly shelving sea here. Popular even with locals, the beach is particularly great, so grab yourself a parasol and kick back on a sought-after spot.
Walk original walls, play 18 holes of golf, and party until the lights go down – here in Playa De Fornells, you’ve got a lot of variety right at your fingertips.
As a calm, charming resort with a horseshoe-shaped white sand beach and family-friendly activities, Cala Galdana has plenty going on.
Life’s a beach here in Son Bou – and this resort is home to Menorca’s longest!
Free of hustle and bustle, Cala’n Porter boasts one of the oldest beaches in all of Menorca, and it’s still a superb, sun-blessed pick.
Originally an epic rocky cove, you’ll find small patches of beach for taking time out.
Set in a sheltered, pine-fringed cove around a fine, white sandy beach, Cala Blanca does what it says on the tin.
If you’re in search of a place to relax, away from the buzz of the busier tourist hotspots, then look no further than Son Parc.
Spread across the rocky west coast of Menorca, Cala’n Blanes introduces you to a vibrant pocket of the island.
Head to the southern tip of the island to enjoy the endless laid-back vibes of S’Algar.
Centred around a lively square and former parade ground, historic links to Britain still shine through in certain parts of the resort.
Menorca's beaches glisten like a treasure trove, and many boast gentle slopes that make them ideal for kids. Find patches great for watersports, or walk through forests to spectacular virgin sands. On the north coast, check out wowing curved bays.

Think medieval towns centred on cathedrals, plus former naval ports. For a spectacular panoramic view of the island, amble up Monte Toro, or simply stick to cobbled streets.
See all sights (21)Menorca is a treat for foodies, and the local wineries are earning a good reputation too. If you fancy something sporty, the clear warm seas are great for water sports – sea kayaking is particularly popular – or you can hire a mountain bike and explore the vast, epic woodland trails.

As you’d expect from any Mediterranean island, Menorca has fantastic fish and shellfish. The cheddar-like Mahón cheese is famous throughout Spain too, while there’s still a clear fondness for gin. Mix it with lemonade and ice for a pomada, or with soda and a lemon twist for pellofa.
See all eating and drinking (19)Menorca is more about markets than mega-malls. Mahón and Ciutadella both have daily fresh food markets, with clothes and local crafts sold two days a week. To stock up on basics, there are plenty of decent-sized supermarkets, especially near the bigger towns. So you’ll have every excuse for a spree.

Menorca isn’t a clubbing superpower like Ibiza, but if it’s a spectacular venue you want, you can’t beat the natural caves in Cala'n Porter’s cliffs. These marvels host an atmospheric bar and club – and sunset’s the prime time to be there! You’ll find various other watering holes around the smaller resorts.
