Menorca is known for being a reference tourist destination with dream beaches. It doesn’t matter if your plans are to disconnect from the routine, spend time with the family, share moments with your couple or enjoy the island’s nightlife. This paradise is always a great option.
And there are many organized activities and routes to get to know the area and not worry about anything, just enjoy the magnificent Mediterranean island.
Why choose summer to visit Menorca?
The best season of the year to visit Menorca is summer, without a doubt.
During the months of June to September, temperatures rise and rains stop, so you can enjoy the warm waters of the Mediterranean.
It is on these dates when the island is full of life and leisure activities for all tastes. And it is that, in short, Menorca enjoys a key element for which tourists repeat year after year: the sun.
However, if what you prefer is to come to Menorca but without so many people, at Mauter Villas we recommend that you book for the second half of June, the first of July, the last week of August or the first half of September.
What to do in Menorca in summer?
The Menorcan lands have the most beautiful turquoise waters in the world, but there is much more than its famous beaches.
These are some of the activities to enjoy a summer in Menorca:
- Boat excursions and sailing trips to watch the sunset
- Rent a kayak and discover the Sea Caves
- Rent small boats to tour the southern beaches, such as Cala Galdana.
- Visit the Lloc de Menorca Zoological Center, with animals rescued from European projects such as lemurs, snakes and many more.
- If you are a cheese lover you have to visit the Finca Subaida Cheese Factory, where they have been making high-quality cheeses for more than three generations.

- Visit the La Mola Fortress, located in the municipality of Mahón, built to defend Menorca from British pirates.
- Admire the S’albuffera Des Grau Natural Park, it is the most important on the island.
- And when you want to bathe in the crystal clear waters of Menorca, we recommend the following beaches and coves.
In the north of the island:
- Pregonda Cove
- Presili Cove
- Son Saura arenal beach
- Turtle Cove
- Pilar Cove

You have to take into account that, in the north of the island, the coves are more difficult to access and therefore tend to be quieter.
However, the south of Menorca is characterized, in general terms, by the greater presence of tourists, areas with more vegetation and beaches with fine white sand, as well as crystalline waters typical of postcards and paintings.
