Few holiday destinations have managed to retain their original charm, attraction and culture under the pressure of tourism. Menorca is one of the few exceptions and is typically less than a 2.5 hour flight away for our guests. By way the corect name is Minorca (in english) "small island" which lies next to the "big island" Majorca as the were named in Roman times. In spanish it is Menorca.
The island of Menorca boasts more miles of golden beaches than neighbours Mallorca and Ibiza added together,that's fact. There is even a place (in the east of Menorca) called Shangri-La! This second fact seems quite apt, Menorca being many visitor's favourite of the Balearics. The first fact is just one of the many reasons why.
As well as being considered a unique beach paradise, Menorca is considerably quieter than Mallorca or Ibiza, and so perhaps more suited to those with young families and couples wanting to combine beautiful beaches, scenery with select nighlife . Even those few purpose built holiday resorts are peaceful, as there is no over emphasis on loud nightlife here. Menorca is rather more tuned into relaxation and rest than dancing into the early hours, but there are still naturally plenty of places where you can let your hair down if you wish to. A key reason for this is that Menorca has remained largely development-free, retaining all of the natural beauty that makes the island such a favourite. It is a green and pleasant land with lush open fields, pine forests and an untamed northern coastline dotted with pretty fishing villages.
Too often you will find that holiday destinations force you to make compromises. If you wanted safe beaches complete with all facilities then you would have to forget dreaming about lying practically alone on hidden virgin beaches.
Sandy Beaches - safe for children, with full facilities
Virgin Beaches - a touch of paradise near to home
If you wanted to enjoy sun filled mediteranean lifestyle, browsing and shopping, or dancing the night away then you would have to forget about walking or cycling in beautiful, ever changing landscapes, alive with wildlife and history.
Menorca - Sunfilled Goodlife
Menorcan - tradition, nature and history
So often if you wanted one thing, then you would have to compromise on 2 other things.
