About Menorca

Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic islands. This beautiful island has a rich cultural and ecological history and in 1993 the island was declared a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco. Menorca is the quietest island of the Balearics, confident of its own charms. Life is unhurried and relaxed. The landscape consists of rolling farmland, extending to beautiful cliffs and golden, sandy beaches, some of which can only be accessed by foot and are very secluded.

Smaller than Majorca and certainly quieter than Majorca and its neighbour Ibiza, Menorca is an ideal destination for families. With flights from the UK taking between 2 - 2.5 hours, it is an easy option for those with young children. All parts of the island are easily accessible and car hire is recommended in getting around and seeing what can only be described as a beautiful island steeped in history.

The Menorquins welcome tourists for their season which runs from May to October. Menorca is not a winter destination with temperatures in the winter being similar to the UK. Tourism came to Menorca later than some of the other Balearic Islands and there are strict regulations on new resorts and building so Menorca retains its charm and is not being over run by tourist enclaves.
