Fine white sandy beaches, rugged coves, intense turquoise waters surrounded by an incredible Mediterranean landscape is what Menorca has to offer. With 216 km of coastline you will find a great diversity, whether you are looking for a family beach (if you are travelling with children), a deserted beach to enjoy nature in all its splendour or just a beach with all the services to practice water activities and sports.

Despite being a well-known tourist destination, Menorca has kept its essence avoiding tourist overcrowding, this is the reason why you can still find virgin beaches that make this island a genuine paradise in the middle of the Mediterranean. 

The island is divided into two different halves, in the north the coast is sharp, with many rock ledges between cliffs. Sand on the northern beaches are reddish and less crowded. The sea bed is rocky and inhabited by a large number of fish and cormorants making it perfect for snorkeling. In the area there are many caves, virgin beaches and islets to explore taking a boat trip.

On the other hand, the south coast distinguishes itself by deep ravines, coves and beaches of fine white sand and crystalline waters of an intense turquoise color. This area is more urbanized than the north coast, although without being overcrowded. The  urbanizations are well integrated in the nature offering the best services without sacrificing a spectacular landscape.

Menorca is perfect to travel by car and discover every corner on your own way. Our accommodations in Ciutadella like Casa Nova or Ca Savia are a great option to enjoy the northern beaches. If you prefer to enjoy the nature of the southern coast, villas such as Belliviure in Cap d’Artrutx or Binimigi in Binisafuller offer you all the tranquillity of the island in the best surroundings.
