Stylish town house in Mahon

Just a five-minute drive from Binidali is Binisafuller. Here, nestled between pine and palm trees and sheltered by the rocks, you'll find a beautiful white sandy beach that's very safe for young and old alike (perfect to go sunbathing). Binisafuller also has a couple of restaurants in the area, including the relaxed atmosphere of ‘El Txoko’.

Binibeca Vell

Continuing along the coast, you'll come to Binibeca Vell. This quiet residential area is built around the Moorish fishing village of Binibeca Vell and is a great place to stroll through traffic-free narrow streets in a labyrinth of small alleys and pretty squares. There's a great selection of restaurants serving Menorquin, Spanish, and European cuisine, as well as bars and small shops. Binibeca Vell also has a poolside restaurant, ice-cream parlour, a small supermarket, and the Cala is ideal for diving and snorkelling.

Binibeca

A little further along, you'll find Binibeca, which is famous for its beach bar. There's also a delightful, wooded area where you'll find several picnic tables. Binibeca is home to the Playa de Binibeca – a sandy beach with shallow, crystal-clear waters popular with families with small children. It also has a number of hidden calas to explore along the coast, and one a ladder down from the rocks to the sea for swimmers and snorkelers.

You can also take a ride on the ‘Binibeca Land Train’ that runs between Binibeca and Punta Prima in the high season. It isn’t free of charge, costing around €7 for a return ticket, but has a variety of pick up and drop off points between the two destinations.

If you like to be active then you can join the Camí de Cavalls, a historical 185km trail that is thought to have existed since the 14th century, popular with hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers. Binibeca lies mid-way along section 18 of the Camí, and from here you have two options, head east towards Punta Prima or west towards Binissafuller.

Cap d’en Font

Cap d’en Font has a stunning coastline with rocky coves and many steps built into the rocks to enable a safe climb down to secluded private swimming platforms and there is a small beach at Binisafua. Cap d’en Font is simply a paradise for swimmers with its crystal-clear blue ocean. Cap d’en Font is quiet and a typical Menorcan village, only a short drive west from the much larger Binibeca. It is an ideal setting for a family wanting a slower and more relaxed base yet within easy reach of everything. There are some bar-restaurants in Binisafua but no supermarket – the nearest are in Binibeca and S’uestra.

Son Ganxo

Situated between Binibeca and Punta Prima, Son Ganxo was originally just a small fishing village. Over the years it has grown into a charming hamlet of quality houses in a peaceful location, and down at the waters edge you will still find the traditional fishing Llauts. Located at the southern-most tip of Menorca, many of Son Ganxo's beautiful villas enjoy lovely coastal views including those across to the little island of Isla del Aire with its lighthouse. Son Ganxo has a lovely cove, Biniancolla where you can dive and swim from the rocks; there is a swimming platform and a ladder down for the less adventurous! The small limestone island of Isla del Aire is popular for sailing, swimming and scuba diving (some of the best dive sites in Menorca are to be found here).

The 'road train' which runs between Binibeca Vell (Binibequer Vell) and Punta Prima travels through Son Ganxo, providing car-free access to beautiful sandy beaches to the east and west. The large cove at Binibeca has fine white sand and a gentle gradient into the warm, shallow sea that make it a favourite for families with young children or non-swimmers. The nearest town is Sant Lluis (San Luis), approximately 5 minutes by car, where there are banks, shops, quality restaurants and great local bars.

Torret

Torret is an exclusive, picturesque and unspoilt village, with pretty whitewashed houses and only locals and the odd tortoise for neighbours. From Torret, there is a quiet lane that runs through open countryside to the old Moorish watchtower overlooking Binibeca (approx 25 minutes’ walk). The very attractive and old town of Sant Lluís is a comfortable fifteen minutes’ walk; it is a very pretty and a non-tourist residential area; here, there are quality restaurants, great local bars, a variety of local shops and several banks. The hamlet of S’Ullastrar is again a comfortable twenty-minute walk and is home to the well-stocked supermarket 'Sa Botiga' nicknamed 'Fortnum and Masons' with everything from fresh bread to locally made sausages. The hamlet of Torret oozes traditional Menorcan architecture with Bougainvillea draped over the whitewashed houses. With the architectural and scenic beauty this part of the island has to offer, why not choose among our superb villas for rent in Torret.
