Menorca is the neighboring island of Mallorca and its countless beaches include kilometers of sandy beaches and rocky bays, called calas, with turquoise water. Menorca is the northeasternmost of the Balearic Islands and is very diverse. With fascinating landscapes and wonderful beaches, cute places and good food, this is a perfect destination in Europe to relax and enjoy.
Compared to the neighboring islands of Mallorca and Ibiza, things are still very quiet and easy here. Mass tourism has not yet arrived on the beautiful island. This is another reason why Menorca is an absolute highlight in Spain. Did you know that Menorca is the first place in Spain where the sun rises in the morning? Along the over 200 kilometer long coastline you will find rugged cliffs and gentle bays with golden sandy beaches, which make this place so magical.

Tell me more about
You can reach the island either by plane or ferry. You can also take a car ferry from the mainland (Spain, France, and Italy) to Menorca. The airport here has many good connections to and from cities in Europe.
The months of June to September are probably the best here. You’ll have beautiful weather and can enjoy the days on the many beautiful beaches. However, this is also the time when the island is busiest. Alternatively, we recommend April, May, October, and November. Temperatures are still pleasant and it’s much quieter and cheaper.
Menorca is probably somewhat cheaper than its neighboring islands Mallorca, Ibiza, and Formentera. A double room in a decent hotel costs around 200€ during peak season (June-August).
We recommend spending at least three days here. The island has a lot to offer and there’s plenty to discover.
