6 Great Reasons to Choose a Menorca Vacation

If you are looking for sun, sea and sand in peaceful and beautiful surroundings, you can't do much better for your holiday than Menorca. Vacation accommodation is available throughout the island, and no matter where you stay you will be able to see it all on this small (but perfectly formed) island. If you are looking for a few reasons to convince you to make it your holiday destination this year, here are six.

1. It's Got More Beaches Than the Other Balearic Islands

It may be smaller than the other well-known Balearic Islands, but there is no shortage of beaches in Menorca. Vacation homes are very often located close to a beautiful beach, and you have a wide range to choose from. There are more beaches here than there are on both Ibiza and Mallorca together, so in this case, you'll get quantity as well as quality.

2. It's a Peaceful Destination

If you want parties and late nights, Ibiza and Mallorca are excellent destinations. However, for something more peaceful, you may be better off choosing Menorca. Vacation properties here are often found near peaceful fishing villages and in tranquil resorts, making it a great place for more "chilled out" holidays.

3. It's Historic

For a small island, it boasts a huge number of historic remains, and if you like your historical attractions you'll find plenty to visit here. Whether you visit the Torre d'en Galmes Bronze Age village near Son Bou, or the Naveta d’es Tudons burial site near to Ciutadella, you'll find plenty to see and do.

4. It's Small and Easy to Travel Around

This is a relatively small island, which makes it the ideal place if you want to travel around and see a variety of places. If you rent a car while you are here, you can easily travel from village to village and town to town, taking in the beautiful coast and the rugged interior.

5. The Climate Is Perfect

Travel here in the summer and you will find pleasantly warm weather throughout the peak months. It is not as hot as Mallorca, but this can be better for some holidaymakers who want to enjoy warm beach weather without feeling uncomfortably hot. It also gets plenty of sunshine throughout other times of the year.

6. It's Perfect for Walking

There are many activities to enjoy on the island, and one of the best is walking. Whether you wander along the ancient Camí de Cavalls path that stretches around the coast of the island, or you prefer to stroll through the hills of the interior, you'll find some great opportunities to stretch your legs.

In short, if you want to plan a trip to Menorca, vacation opportunities are easy to find. These reasons are just the start, and there are plenty more attractions just waiting to be discovered.
