TRANQUILITY AND SPACE

May is a quieter time to visit Menorca, as it falls before the peak summer tourist season. This means fewer crowds at popular attractions, beaches, and restaurants. Enjoy a boat trip to explore the island's serene coastline or enjoy a wild swim at one of the island's many secluded coves. Staying in a private villa ensures your family has plenty of space to relax and unwind, whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying alfresco meals, or simply spending quality time together.
