Menorca Travel Guide

Menorca shares the Balearic charms of its better known neighbours but is a world away from the intense nightlife of Ibiza and the built-up buzzing resorts of Mallorca.

Escape the crowds
The small-scale holiday developments that are here are largely self-contained leaving most of the island uncommercialised and rural, dotted with reminders of an ancient Bronze Age civilisation.

Cities and beaches
At its western extremity is Ciutadella, the island's most attractive town, while at its eastern extremity, just 32km (20 miles) distant, is Mahon, the capital and main point of arrival. Both are well worth a visit. The island's most striking feature is its beaches - a glorious girdle of golden white coves and aquamarine waters, particularly in the south -  which attract young and not-so-young families year after year.
