Choosing Menorca Villas – A Holiday in Paradise

The sunny Spanish island of Menorca is ideal when you're searching for an unforgettable Mediterranean holiday destination. But once you decide on the location, how do you choose the best accommodation option? Fortunately, when staying on Menorca, villas offer a wonderful option for that perfect home away from home, no matter the budget or size of your group. Use them as a base to explore the exotic culinary delights, fun water sports, shopping meccas and more, at your leisure. Pick a location

Each district, town and small village on the island has its own "something special". Having a sense of what the island can offer before you arrive can help immensely when getting your bearings. For instance, families will have different needs than couples, meaning they may want to look at particular locations throughout the island. Son Bou, for example, is ideal for retired couples or more seasoned travellers who like to be near the excitement but want to avoid the club scene. Cala Bosh has good beaches and places for younger children to roam; while Santa Thomas is also fun for families, but has a more relaxed feel. Everyone will love Cala Galdana, with plenty of Menorca villas and activities to choose from.

Decide your style

This is a vital component when choosing a location to stay. When narrowing down your options, some make or break factors like food, shopping and activities can help you make a final choice. Many people will visit the island just to spend time on the gorgeous beaches, in areas such as Cala Pregonda or Cala Mitjana. Others will be keen to prioritise a culinary experience by sampling delectable seafood and other local dishes at the various cafes and restaurants. Others still will be tempted by the excellent spas and sporting facilities; everyone is different, and this can directly affect the best place to stay. Consequently, when visiting Menorca, villas near the most popular beaches may suit you, or if hiking and sightseeing historical points of interest rank higher than sunbathing, inland towns may be better suited.

Enjoy the perks

All that being said about location and your personal travel style, it's very important to focus on the actual accommodation, too. Resorts and hotels have their benefits, but on Menorca, villas present the best options for privacy, amenities and even wallet-friendly rates. The style will vary from place to place of course, but many adhere to the traditional tropical design and layout. Large windows let in natural light and sprawling swimming pools are among typical facets. Whichever one you choose, however, you can be assured it will afford you the comfort, independence and freedom to enjoy the island at your own pace and in your own time.
