Menorca for delightful unspolied beaches
Peaceful Menorca boasts more than a hundred glorious beaches
strewn around her 140 miles of idyllic coastline from Son
Bou's long golden beaches of gently shelving sands to stunning
sandy coves such as Cala Galdana and Cala Alcaufar. Sleepy
fishing villages and picturesque horseshoe bays dot the rugged
north coast with Arenal del Castell one of Menorca's most
dramatic.
Menorca for prehistoric caves
The coastal cliffs and headlands around Menorca are honeycombed
with caves and remnants of prehistoric villages, taules and
talaiots. See the caves of Cap de Penyes and the complex system
of over 100 prehistoric chambers and caves at Cales Coves,
7 miles west of Mahon. Dating from the 9th Century BC these
one time burial chambers and site of pagan rituals can be
approached by land or by sea from where there are grand views
of the subterranean labyrinth.

Menorca
for family fun
Natural beauty is the hidden secret Menorca holds most dear
and the family attractions tend to follow this more low-key
theme. Both Menorca's water parks, Aqua Rock near Cala'n Bosch
and Aqua Park near Los Delfines, offer tube rides, slides
and gentle river floats whilst the giant maze at Son Bou offers
fun and games with character magicians, clowns, fairies and
dragons joining in to keep the children amused.
Menorca for watersports
The waters of the Balearics attract several high profile
sailing events, featuring many of the world's leading participants
and taking place in the waters between Menorca and her sister
island of Majorca just 25 miles away. The sport of sailing
flourishes across Menorca with almost every coastal town boasting
its own marina and offering charters by the day or even sometimes
by the hour. The crystal waters are ideal for snorkelling
and the shoreline caverns provide good diving grounds. For
the leisure thrillseeker there are plenty of motorised leisure
activities like paragliding, water bikes, water skiing and
high speed rubber rafting.
Menorca for getting back to
nature
The mountainous and coastal regions of Menorca provide some
of the most manageable hiking and cycling terrain in the Balearics,
considerably less formidable than that of near neighbour Majorca,
where the cycling attracts some of the world's keenest, and
fittest. Menorca's trails meander through her many nature
reserves, allowing glimpses of the indigenous tortoise and
passing by ancient burial mounds, megaliths and mysterious
conical towers or talaiots that litter the countryside. Whether
you choose to tackle a coastal route or an ascent of Monte
Toro, Menorca's highest point at 358m, you'll be rewarded
with some amazing sea views.
