Menorca has steadily captured the hearts of travellers, becoming a top Mediterranean destination that blends unspoiled natural beauty with cultural richness. Its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and relaxed charm have been drawing attention from major publications worldwide. From the island’s tranquil landscapes to its commitment to sustainability, the media can't stop raving about this Balearic paradise. Here’s what some of the most influential magazines and newspapers are saying about Menorca...
"Best of the World Destination 2024.”
"Fast becoming one of the most appealing escapes in the Mediterranean.”
"The emerging star of the Balearics.”
"One of the Mediterranean’s last unspoiled islands.”
"…our outpost for 2024!”
"Fine white sand, the sea an almost-unbelievable shade of turquoise, and the prettiest scenery - Menorca's beaches are often compared to the Caribbean, and yet they're so close to home. These are the most beautiful of them all.”
"Serene coastal hiking trails, rich gastronomy and an intriguing history — this stunning Spanish isle offers plenty beyond its dazzling beaches.”
"Menorca, the archipelago’s easternmost island, was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve back in 1993. More than 100 beaches are sprinkled along its glittering 200km coastline, many only accessible on foot; wild, rust-red strands hug the northern shoreline, while the south has pine-fringed, white-sand coves. Inland, sun-bleached farmhouses, stone-built walls, and mysterious Talayotic monuments dot the rural landscapes.”
"Minorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, sparkles with the same blue-green waters as its more touristy neighbors, Ibiza and Majorca. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993, Minorca offers a quieter and wilder retreat, thanks to residents who have protected the island from further urbanization and development.”
"Arrive on the sun-bleached shores of Menorca after a spell on Mallorca or Ibiza and notice the drop in volume – here it's more birdsong than Pete Tong. The easternmost Balearic island moves to its own mellow beat. Its twinset of sea-splashed cities, eastern Anglo-Spanish Maó and western maze-like Ciutadella, are delightfully low-key and distinctive, and the white- and golden-sand bays that stud its 216km coastline are among the loveliest in the Mediterranean. Inland, the island remains distinctly rural, with an estimated 70,000km of dry-stone walls criss-crossing fields and rolling hills between whitewashed villages.”

"Menorca, the easternmost of Spain’s sun-dappled Balearic Islands, moves to its own relaxed rhythm, and a fierce commitment to sustainability has always been at the core of the local tourism industry. Thanks to the early protection of its beautiful natural spaces, this unhurried, environmentally minded island remains a gentle vision of sparkly turquoise waves, of rippling countryside sprinkled with stone walls and ancient Talayotic monuments, of isolated lighthouses on wind-lashed capes, and of golden-white coves hidden down dusty pine-scented paths.”

"The rest of the island is imbued with the same timeless quality. Though only 21 miles from the crowds and hustle of its high-profile neighbor, Majorca, the difference couldn’t be more profound. Unlike Majorca, with its sprawling hotel complexes, glitzy nightclubs and yacht-filled ports, this island 250 miles east of Barcelona offers something unusual for a Mediterranean resort: tranquillity.”
"As the sun sets, the cliffs glow and champagne glasses glitter with golden light... Menorca is a Spanish surprise, with its hidden beaches and vibrant local culture."
‘…the island of Menorca is truly a treasure to be discovered.’
"Menorca Paradise - Eden is here: in the most secret of the Balearic Islands, between turquoise sea, an emerald countryside and technicolour dishes.”
"There are many paradisiacal beaches in Menorca. Dream places.”
