Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands, and by far one of the prettiest. Like its sister islands of Mallorca and Ibiza, Menorca is an increasingly popular holiday destination, particularly for families looking to rent a villa or apartment for the summer.
Menorca is blessed with a number of beautiful beaches, stretching around the entire coastline. The southern half of the island is dotted with family-friendly resort towns, while the north is populated by quiet fishing villages.
You can use your holiday villa as a base for travelling around the island, which is easily explored by car. This largely rural island is quieter than Mallorca and Ibiza, and ideal for a relaxing family getaway.
A variety of villas and apartments are available for rent in the resort towns, many with their own swimming pools. Swim in the clean, crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean, or relax by the pool. Take up windsurfing or sailing, or explore the natural beauty of the landscape on foot, bicycle or on horseback.
Menorca's resorts and facilities are excellent, and have been developed in a way that has allowed UNESCO to declare it a "Reservation of Biosphere." This recognizes the way the islands inhabitants have worked to preserve its natural heritage with sympathetic developments. There are a number of marine and natural parks for visitors to enjoy.
Sample traditional Menorcan fare at one of the capital Mahon's many restaurants, or take time to explore the museum. Or travel from your holiday villa and investigate the 1000BC tayalots that are scattered across the island.
Summer in Menorca brings a number of festivals and celebrations. The traditional Sant Joan festival is annual highlight. Music lovers will not be left out, with everything from jazz to opera available. The outdoor cinemas are a fantastic way to enjoy the balmy summer evenings.
