Holidays in Menorca, Minorca

Travel Guide to Menorca, Minorca

If you were asked to list all your main priorities in planning an unforgettable family holiday, in no time at all you'd find yourself describing a holiday in Menorca.

Think about a choice of over 100 Menorca beaches, from flat, shelving shorelines to secluded, quiet coves.

Think about restaurants in all the resorts of Menorca serving superb local delicacies, where kids are treated as VIP guests rather than little nuisances.

Think about fascinating day trips to the historic harbour side towns of Ciudadela and the island's capital Mahon.

There is a wide selection of places to eat in Minorca, ranging from local bars serving specialities to à la carte restaurants. The local fish dishes are particularly tasty and good value, including squid, prawns and lobster. 'Tapas' are traditional bite sized snacks made with meat, olives, fried fish or vegetables and are usually served with drinks. Not to be missed is the local speciality drink, Gin Xoriguer, which is distilled at Mahon harbour.

Even though Minorca is the second largest of the three principal Balearic Islands, Menorca remains more tranquil than its boisterous neighbours and continues to offer a superb get-away-from-it-all holiday just two hours flying from the UK. No wonder Menorca has been our favourite family cheap holiday destination for the last few years.
