Menorca Island - The Untouched Beauty

Menorca Island attributed as virgin land and hidden paradise is enough to spring in excitement and amazement for this place. The seclusion and privacy furthering with Holiday villas in Menorca itself can be a best treat and recreation at its best. It is a holiday worthwhile and worth visiting.

Menorca is the second largest island of the Balearics and receives far fewer tourists than its larger sister island. Having escaped the impact of mass tourism, much of its beauty remains unspoilt, located in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain just two hours flying time from the UK and Eire. It boasts of fantastic beaches as well as historic towns and cities such as Ciutadella and Mahon with temperatures averaging between 22 degrees and 29 degrees Celsius from May through until October.

This small island along its rocky coastline is perfectly matched to cater for holidaymakers who wish to take advantage of the many tranquil beaches hidden within the small cove and inlets. Mahon is the capital of the island and has one of Europe's largest natural harbours. There is also good selection of bars and shops around the harbour, and also pavement cafes offering a lively nightlife.

Minorca has a population of around 80,000, creating a quiet, small town setting, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery, climate and culture. The island has been chosen by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve. Most locals are bilingual in Spanish and Catalan, but with a local accent including some English words. There are ancient cities and more modern ones, founded by the British or French. The capital of Minorca is notable for the natural harbour and this is the city for which mayonnaise is named. Those interested in architecture can find many lingering British influences on the local building styles.


Taking enough time to fully experience Minorca makes hotels less attractive and formal. Hotel rooms are small and typically have few amenities, and over time, the costs are prohibitive. Villas are available to rent and provide the advantages of a full house. Kitchens and dining rooms allow meals to be prepared as is convenient for you, rather than the restaurants, private swimming pools without dealing with the crowds of public pools, the quiet of not having tourists on the other side of the wall, enough bathrooms to allow a whole family to get ready in the morning instead of a line for the one bathroom, washing machines and driers, parking and a much homier atmosphere than even the best hotels can provide.


Many Menorca holiday villas even have wireless internet access available, making it much easier to stay connected with friends and families still at home. Menorca villas offer the opportunity to luxuriate in a home-like setting, stay in Menorca long enough to fully explore the island and on a budget that allows staying that longer time. This option is especially attractive for large families and parties that might otherwise be spread over the whole of a hotel, paying for many rooms and spread about to make coordination much harder.
