Menorca - Plan your Perfect Holiday

The beautiful island of Menorca is very different to its neighbour Mallorca. It has been bypassed by large-scale package tourism, leaving it a place loved for its charm and relaxed way of life. It has magical landscapes and deserted beaches, many of which can only be reached on foot or by sea.
Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993, it is protected against major development and is instead home to untouched coastlines and deep gorges where you can still find rare flowers and orchids.
It is an island rich in history with strong ties to the UK throughout the 18th Century. There is also a fascinating prehistoric past and culture which is unique to the island.

Mahón

The fantastic Port of Mahón is home to Menorca Cruising and it is where you will start your holiday. You will be spoilt for choice by the superb restaurants and bars lining the water and as you sail peacefully along its length you can admire the historic city of Mahón which rises high above the harbour. You will pass Isla del Rey, the oldest British military hospital in the World built in 1711, and at the north end you will see the C19th Fortress of La Mola

Es Port de Fornells

Fornells is renowned throughout the whole of Spain for its lobster and mediterranean seafood. King Juan Carlos I of Spain has anchored his yacht here many times to partake of the speciality Caldereta de Langosta (lobster stew). This identity of Fornells with fish and seafood has created something unique, a small fishing village with a high concentration of top quality restaurants.

Ciutadella Harbour by night

Ciutadella

Ciutadella was the island's capital from the Moorish epoch until the 18th century when the British moved it to Mahón. It mixes the medieval charm of narrow cobbled streets with the splendour of 18th century palaces.
Ciutadella's port is smaller and less commercialised than Mahón, and it offers an alternative, yet impressive, glimpse of the past through its diverse and perfectly preserved architecture.
Ciutadella is home to one of the largest Fiestas in Spain, the Fiesta de Sant Joan. It will be impossible to find a berth anywhere near the town around June 24th when vast crowds will gather in the port for the traditional equestrian games.

Prehistoric Past

For those interested in ancient ruins, Menorca has a greater quantity than probably any other Mediterranean island. It has been described as a huge open-air museum. The taulas - massive T-shaped rock monoliths, the talyots - prehistoric watchtowers on the top of hills, and the navetas - prehistoric burial chambers, abound all over the island.

Naveta des Tudons is one of the oldest buildings in europe.
