More and more people are discovering the natural beauty and tranquillity of this understated spot in the Balearic Islands. Here are just a few of the many reasons to holiday in Menorca.
Menorca is famous for its stunning beaches, which are not only some of the most beautiful in the Balearics, but also the cleanest, making it one of the best family beach holiday destinations. From secluded coves to wide sandy stretches, Menorca prides itself on protecting its natural landscape. Some of the most famous and spectacular beaches are Cala Macarella and Macarellata, and Cala Tuqueta. Many of the beaches have gentle gradients down to the water and the sea itself is calm and crystal clear in many locations across the island, perfect for children to enjoy safely. Some of the beaches also have beachside cafes, ideal for that refreshing drink or snack, as well as pedalos for hire. Popular family beaches include Son Bou, Punta Prima and Cala Galdana.
Unlike its lively neighbours Ibiza and Majorca, Menorca offers a more peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, making it the best Balearic island for families going away on holiday. It's perfect for families looking to escape the crowds and relax while also enjoying adventure and there are several exclusive areas of private villas that will ensure you feel safe and at ease.
