Top Attractions of Menorca Villa Holidays

As far as holiday resorts off the coast of Spain goes, Menorca is often the most overlooked. The smallest Balearic island does not so much suffer from being unremarkable as from being surrounded by some of the most well-known and legendary ‘party spots’ in the world, such as neighbouring Mallorca. However, the target demographic for this location is slightly different than the one Menorca or Ibiza attract, which has helped ensure it continues to attract a respectable volume of tourists each year.

Those who pick this Balearic Island as the perfect location for their break are usually well aware of the advantages and attraction factors inherent to Menorca villa holidays. If you are thinking of trying this destination out but are unsure of what it has to offer, however, you may want to peruse the lines below, where we offer some of the main attractions.

Peace And Quiet

In stark contrast to its neighbours, Mallorca and Ibiza, this island is remarkably peaceful and quaint, with none of the nightlife spots or tourist traps common to the other two resorts. As such, people who seek out Menorca villa holidays are traditionally after peace and quiet, rather than a constant hive of activity. And this, the island delivers in spades. Whether you are lounging by the pool, sunbathing at the beach or exploring one of the many charming towns scattered around the smallest of the Balearics, you can rest assured you will not be surrounded by noisy, half-drunk partygoers or pushy souvenir vendors, and will be able to enjoy your time abroad in peace.

Safety

The island is considered relatively trouble free, which explains why Menorca villa holidays have long been a favourite of families with small children. Even the largest of the island’s towns is no bigger than a small town elsewhere, and most retain a quaint charm, brought about by their traditional architecture and the distinct lack of the kind of building and infra-structure usually found in larger towns or cities. As such, not only are places like Ciutadella or Mahon welcoming, they are also fun to explore as a family.

Food And Drink

Another excellent selling point in favour of Menorca villa holidays is the island’s wealth of food and drink delicacies. Among the specialities visitors will be able to taste and perhaps take home as souvenirs are locally-brewed alcoholic beverages as well as Mahon cheese, a local brand in its own right. Furthermore, most of the island’s eateries are remarkably un-touristy, retaining their original charm and allowing visitors to sample the true Menorcan cuisine.
